Polymarket Odds Sweep
proWhen the crowd suddenly changes its mind on a prediction market.
What it is
Odds shift several percentage points fast, with rising volume — that's a sweep. Means a lot of money piled in one direction at once.
Why it matters
A sweep is a repricing: the probability the market assigns to an outcome moved several points while volume rose, which means the move was paid for rather than drifted into. The volume behind it is what separates a genuine repricing from a thin book being nudged by one order.
How to read the alert
The alert reports the odds before and after, the size of the shift in percentage points, and the volume that came with it. A ten-point move on $1M of volume and the same move on $20K are different events, and those two numbers are what tell them apart. The market link shows whether the new odds held after the sweep finished.
