Market Context
What the market summary panel shows and where the numbers come from.
Overview
Market Statistics
Market Statistics show category vitals at a glance. The platform regenerates the chips from a weekly snapshot, so values reflect the latest run rather than real-time activity. Each chip pairs a current value with a trend arrow over the period noted on the card.
Activity
Listings live in the category.
※Current snapshot
Pace of new listings.
※90-day trend window

※Cards hide automatically when there isn't enough data to draw a meaningful trend.
Analytics
Analytics turn raw stats into deeper signals: per-listing value scores and a generated prose summary of how the period moved. Each appears only when the category has the inputs needed.
Per-listing values
A second row of cards shows up for categories with a public valuation calculator. Each calculator combines expert knowledge and research with market data from our sales, updated regularly as the marketplace shifts. The cards turn that calculator's output into per-listing value signals.
The category's public calculator applied to each listing, averaged across the period.
Nominal Value divided by asking price. Higher means listings are priced low for what they offer.
※Categories without a public calculator don't show these. Nothing is estimated or interpolated.

AI Summary
When available, a short prose summary sits alongside the cards. It's generated from the same period's data and rewritten weekly, with guidance from igitems analysts to keep it accurate. The summary points at what moved most in the last period and what that might mean for someone watching the category. It's informational only. It never recommends an individual listing.
Visualization
Two charts visualize the data over time.
A histogram showing how active listings distribute across price buckets. Reveals where inventory concentrates and how wide the price spread is.
Illustrative data. Bar heights are bucket counts. The live chart on /brainrot-brainrots adapts its bucket boundaries to the category's actual price range.
A line chart with up to four series drawn from earlier sections: Listing Prices and Sold Prices from Market Statistics, plus Nominal Value and Deal Quality from Analytics. Every series is plotted as percent change versus the period's mean, so the curves are comparable even though the underlying units differ. A series hides itself if there isn't enough data or variance to be informative.

Illustrative chart with one series. The live chart on /brainrot-brainrots supports up to four series with toggles between them.
※A dashed reference line marks where the trailing average started the current period, so the post-period direction is easier to read.

Frequently Asked Questions
¿Cómo se calcula el Deal Quality para los listados de igitems?
El Deal Quality puntúa el valor razonable de un listado (del calculador de la categoría) dividido por su precio solicitado, luego ponderado por la valoración comunitaria y el nivel del vendedor. Una puntuación más alta significa más valor por dólar en relación con los otros listados de la categoría.
¿Por qué esta categoría no muestra un gráfico de Nominal Value o Deal Quality?
Estos gráficos solo aparecen en categorías con puntuación de valor razonable conectada a través de un calculador específico de la categoría. Las categorías sin un calculador conectado siguen mostrando chips de mercado e historial de precios, pero las métricas basadas en valor no se calculan para ellas.
¿Con qué frecuencia actualiza igitems los datos del mercado?
Las instantáneas de mercado se regeneran semanalmente a través de un trabajo programado. Los chips y las series de gráficos en una página de categoría reflejan la instantánea más reciente de esa categoría.
