New Highs & Lows is a daily breadth indicator that measures the percentage of liquid Pokémon trading cards reaching 30-day price extremes. The metric tracks two components: cards trading at their 30-day high and cards trading at their 30-day low. Cards are only included if they meet minimum liquidity thresholds , price requirements, and price history. This metric helps identify periods of market strength (high percentage at new highs) or weakness (high percentage at new lows).

The methodology for New Highs & Lows is outlined as follows:

Eligible Universe: Includes English Pokémon trading cards meeting minimum liquidity thresholds, price requirements (≥ $1), and price history requirements (≥ 30 days). Excludes sealed products, graded cards, and non-English releases.

Calculation: For each trading day, two percentages are calculated:
• New Highs: % of eligible cards trading at their highest price in the last 30 days
• New Lows: % of eligible cards trading at their lowest price in the last 30 days

Note: Cards with no price movement over the 30-day period are excluded from both calculations.

Calculation Frequency: Updated daily based on TCGplayer market price data.

New Highs & Lows serves as a market sentiment indicator for the Pokémon TCG market. High new highs percentages suggest broad-based buying pressure and bullish momentum, while high new lows percentages indicate selling pressure and bearish conditions. Divergences between the metric and price indexes can signal potential trend reversals, while extreme readings may indicate overbought or oversold market conditions across the broader card market.
