Methodology
Prices are pulled from the SkinPulse skin database, sourced daily from Steam Community Market, Skinport, Waxpeer, and CS.Trade. The main price used for comparison is a cross-market median. Skins with fewer than two snapshots in the window or a starting price below $0.50 are excluded to reduce noise. Percentages are computed as (end_price − start_price) / start_price × 100. "Priciest movers" ranks by end-of-window price out of skins that moved at least 1%.
Spotlight blurbs are taken verbatim from each skin's own editorial description on its skin page. This recap was generated automatically by the generate_market_recap management command on 2026-08-27.
