Volatility spread (median 30d CoV)
Mature markets absorb shocks quietly. Thin markets amplify them.
Top set drivers this week. Gundam Card Game
Contribution = absolute weekly value added to the index (not just % change). 30d index +60.67%.
Analyst take
The standout structural story this week is Gundam. The 30d index surged from +7.25% last week to +60.67%, the single largest move in the basket. Regime has flipped to "Expansion." But the breadth signal is not confirming it: only 44.6% of cards are advancing on 7d, and top-10 concentration sits at 38.1% of total value. Elsewhere, DBSFW remains the most sustained uptrend. Pokémon and MTG absorb volatility without structural dislocation...
