Market Movers

Market movers are Pokemon cards that have experienced significant price changes, volume spikes, or volatility over a specific time period. We track cards over $5 in value and analyze them across 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day windows using daily-updated TCGPlayer data.

Market movers data is updated daily with fresh TCGPlayer pricing. Our system analyzes price changes, calculates percentage and dollar movements, tracks volume changes, and identifies new highs/lows every 24 hours to provide you with current market insights.

Percentage gainers show cards with the highest price increase as a percentage of their starting value. Percentage droppers show the largest price decreases. These help identify cards experiencing relative momentum regardless of their absolute price point.

Dollar movers show cards with the largest absolute price changes in dollars, while percentage movers show the largest relative changes. A $100 card gaining $20 is a 20% gain, while a $10 card gaining $5 is a 50% gain. Both metrics provide different market insights.

Volume movers are cards experiencing significant changes in trading activity or market interest. Most active cards are those with consistently high volume regardless of price movement. High volume often indicates strong buyer/seller interest and more reliable pricing data.

Rising stars are cards showing consistent upward momentum with increasing prices and often increasing volume - potential breakout candidates. Falling knives are cards in sustained decline with decreasing prices, often indicating falling out of favor or oversupply.

We filter for cards over $5 to focus on meaningful market movements and reduce noise from low-value commons. Price changes on sub-$5 cards often show extreme percentages but don't represent significant market value shifts. This filter helps identify cards worth tracking for collectors and investors.

Currently, market movers shows all qualifying cards across all sets. You can use the category filters to narrow down by movement type (gainers, droppers, volatility, etc.) and time window (24h, 7d, 30d). Set-specific filters may be added in future updates based on user feedback.
