I’ve been watching the price of a skin I want for two weeks now, and it keeps going up and down without any clear reason. One day it’s affordable, then suddenly it jumps 20%. Is there any logic to this or is it just random hype?

Some of it’s hype, but timing also plays a big role. Prices spike after big tournaments or updates. Even YouTubers unboxing a certain skin can mess with the market. It’s annoying when you’re trying to plan a trade.

I started tracking this when I noticed the same weird jumps. Found this page while trying to make sense of it all — dmarket.com/cs2-wiki/. It breaks down how market dynamics work in CS2, including seasonal patterns and rarity impact. Helped me understand why skins jump in price and when to wait it out. Been much more confident since then about when to buy or trade.
