The Week Ahead: Week 35, 2026
Six items with converging momentum signals this week, led by QA Team T-Shirt at score 79/100.
Market Pulse: Fearful (28/100) · 30% of tracked items are up over 7 days
Market Pulse: Fearful (28/100) · 30% of 221 tracked items green over 7 days
Pulse has crept up four points, which in this stretch counts as news, though 28 is still firmly Fearful. Worth flagging up front: our 7d listings-value read is unavailable this week — historical count coverage isn't comparable, so treat the breadth number as the cleaner signal. What the board is actually showing is a cluster of hard drawdowns near the top of the score, which is the contrarian engine doing exactly what it's built to do.
The dip cohort
Fisherman Raincoat — 76.9 · $5.25. The steepest cut on the list, down roughly 52% over seven days, and in this regime that magnitude of drop has more often marked capitulation than the start of a slide. The setup suggests a partial retrace toward the $6 area if bids reappear; a second week of lower lows without volume would say the B rating is stale and the reset is real, not temporary.
Tie-Dye Jumper (Purple) — 73.3 · $8.34. Nearly halved on the week, and it's the highest-priced name in the dip cohort, which usually means thinner order books and messier prints. Watching for stabilization rather than a bounce; if the float on offer keeps expanding, the mean-reversion read gets weak fast.
Work Suit — 78.2 · $5.72. Down ~40% with a middling C rating, so this is a price-action call almost entirely — likely a grind sideways-to-up rather than a snapback. Construction Ear Muffs — 73.4 · $7.52 — tells a near-identical story at a similar depth.
Two on thinner ground
QA Team T-Shirt — 79.1 · S-rated, scarcity 90. It tops the board again, but the rationale is one signal and hasn't changed in a month. Honest read: the score is durable, the *new* information isn't.
Mob Boss Fedora — 75.7 · D-rated, leaving the store inside 14 days. Store exits have historically pulled forward demand, but a D rating means whatever lift arrives may not hold past the removal date.
Breadth is improving off a low base while the leaderboard is dominated by damage. That's not a recovery yet — it's the shape one sometimes takes. If the dip cohort stabilizes together, the regime read gets more interesting next Monday.
