S&box Market Report: Week 42, 2026
Weekly snapshot of the S&box skin market across 250 tracked items.
Market Overview
Side Parting Tied Hair printed +5289.5%, a number that says more about how few listings it had than about demand.

Turtleneck Green is the only notable casualty at -36.8%, down from the gainer side two weeks ago. $35,692.57 in listings across 235 of 250 items; week-over-week comparison is blank again.
We're tracking 250 unique S&box skins across the Steam Community Market. Current observation coverage: 235/250 for active listings and 137/250 for executed sales in the past 24 hours.
Market Pulse: Greedy (84/100) · 127 new 30-day highs vs 10 lows
Top Momentum This Week
Our composite momentum score blends 7-day and 30-day price trends, provenance-qualified current listing thinness, supply contraction, holder concentration, scarcity, and store-rotation signals. Historical listing-surge and sales-velocity inputs are deliberately omitted until comparable first-party history exists. 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.)
