Why do you think you're right?
Maintaining at 7%, despite lack of activity during the early months of the current administration. Downward pressures include that no signs of escalation have occurred. Upward pressures include that this is a time of turmoil in US foreign policy, which might lead to a higher prob. of tail events, including escalation between US and China which could lead to proxy pressures for NK to conduct a test.
Why might you be wrong?
NK might have suspended its nuclear testing program due to effective pressures from China and/or the US.
Alternatively, NK might be gearing up for a test since they're "due" for one after 7 years of inactivity, avoiding the ~wrong~ moment to do one. This time of higher chaos in the world might be an opportune moment to demonstrate capabilities, in their eyes.

Why do you think you're right?
I think a ceasefire is more likely than the community (and more likely to happen earlier). RFI forecasters seem to be considerably skeptical on the prospects of a ceasefire, despite a consensus of reporting indicating mutual desires for a ceasefire from all stakeholders (with the Russians being the most reluctant).
Why might you be wrong?
I may be dramatically over-estimating the odds of Putin agreeing to a ceasefire, even in the face of American pressure (both positive and negative).
