Volume spikes
A volume spike represents unusual transaction volume rather than a price signal. Resource (RP-054) (EVX07 Resource Set) recorded the highest activity, moving 16 copies against its usual 1.0 per week—a 16x jump—whilst its price fell -30.0% to $27.12.

Sealed product Starter Deck 13: Silent Barrage recorded 338 copies against a typical 70.5, dropping -31.3% to $18.21.
Products selling far more than usual (priced $1 or more, at least 5 sales this week), often the first sign of a buyout. Open the Buyouts screener.
