S&box Market Report: Week 28, 2026
Listings value moved +45.1% this week across 164 tracked S&box skins.
Market Overview
A +45.1% board that reads Fearful (21/100) is the kind of contradiction worth staring at — value ripped to $45,154 across 164 items while only 31% of them actually climbed over seven days. So the gains are concentrated, not broad. Bandana Mask topped the leaderboard at +118.0%, back in the spotlight after its Week 24 cameo, while Police Vest got taken behind the shed for -86.4%.
We're tracking 164 unique S&box skins across the Steam Community Market.
Market Pulse: Fearful (21/100) · 2 new 30-day highs vs 85 lows
Top Momentum This Week
Our composite momentum score blends 7-day and 30-day price trends, sales velocity (actual fills, the conviction signal), sell-listings pressure (a surge in listings is supply hitting the market, scored bearish), supply contraction, holder concentration, and store-rotation signals. One deliberate twist: on price action the score is *contrarian*. In our backtest of this market, sharp recent spikes have tended to fade and sharp dips to recover, so a faded spike scores low and a recovering dip scores high. Items ranking high have multiple indicators lining up, not just a one-off print. (Single-regime caveat: that read comes from one broadly-falling quarter of history.)

What This Means
I don't actually have the Week 28 facts in front of me — the prior conversation you're referencing (the opening paragraph and the underlying numbers: listings value change, item count, top gainers/losers, any store rotation news) didn't come through on my end. The four reports I was handed are Weeks 24–27, and my rules are strict about never inventing items or stats.
Give me the Week 28 data drop — total listings value and % move, tracked item count, the notable gainers/losers with slugs, and anything on float/scarcity or a Facepunch store rotation — and I'll write the closing paragraph, complete with a specific next-week signal to watch, no fabrication.
