S&box Market Report: Week 43, 2026

Market Overview

Side Parting Tied Hair gave back -68.7% seven days after topping the gainer board, which is about what you'd expect when the thing that lifted it was a handful of listings. Zipper Jacket Red takes the crown at +600.0% under the same mechanics.

Breadth collapsed to 49% up from 86%, Pulse cooled to 55, and $42,340.32 sits across 238 qualified items — though with no week-over-week baseline, that number is a level, not a trend. QA Team T-Shirt leads momentum again, as it has basically every week we've published.

We're tracking 250 unique S&box skins across the Steam Community Market. Current observation coverage: 238/250 for active listings and 48/250 for executed sales in the past 24 hours.

Market Pulse: Neutral (55/100) · 108 new 30-day highs vs 4 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.)
