The Time of Battle
One Piece · sealed booster box
It trades at $212, 47% below its 1-year high of $398. It's down 23.3% over 90 days, but the last week ticked up — possibly finding a floor. The tell is supply: active eBay listings are down 21% over 60 days. Fewer sellers into a firm price is the setup this system is built to catch. The cards inside are worth about $5,938, or 27.9× the box price. Read: well below its high - room to run.

Called off
Ratings we pulled this week. Publishing these is the point — a signal service that only prints its winners is marketing, not a track record.
The supply desk
Active eBay listing counts over a 60-day window — the measure almost nobody else publishes. Falling supply into a firm price is the setup; rising supply is the warning.

The Weekly is written automatically from ChopArm's own logs the morning it publishes, and archived unchanged — what you are reading is exactly what it said that Monday. Ratings are logged when they fire and graded against what the market does next. Informational only — not financial advice, and not a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
