Lowest current ask on the Steam Community Market
until 24 August 2026.
Protective Bucket is an S&box clothing skin. It was first released in August 2026. There are 590 in circulation across 63 owners. It trades around $16.80 on the Steam Community Market.
The 58.4% weekly decline has not resolved this item's valuation problem: at $16.79 the lowest ask still sits 167.8% above the model's fair value, and 140% above the best standing bid of $7.01. The 82.2% bid/ask spread and a liquidity score of 12/100 mark that $16.79 as a phantom price rather than a clearing level, with the cumulative bid floor down at $5.55, close to the $6.00 store price. Supply is genuinely fixed at 590 units across 63 owners, which the delisting and widening holder base support, but concentration remains a flagged warning. The contrarian read treats this drawdown as a possible recovery setup; the 95th percentile 30-day return deviation argues that any such recovery would be a volatile one.
