The market has in recent trading, with $11k in total trades. That thin activity suggests limited conviction either way; nobody has rushed to arbitrage this decisively. What would move it? Concrete signals—an announcement, a feature credit, social-media activity hinting at new work—would tighten the spread. Ocean’s release patterns reward patience; he does not tease. A surprise drop would resolve this instantly, but the market is pricing the likelihood of that happening in a single calendar year as roughly one in four.
