Why Pokémon Card Prices Are Moving Right Now

Risers dominate: 5 cards up vs 0 down. That skew usually points to heat across premium chase cards and Standard staples rather than a broad correction.
No competitive crossover: none of this week's biggest movers are in current Standard decks, so the action is entirely collector-side on SIRs, promos and chase pulls.
Set concentration: 2 of 5 movers come from SWSH12.5: Crown Zenith. Watch whether the whole set trends together next week or the moves diverge.
Chase cards dominate: 4 of 5 entries are SIRs, secret rares or gallery pulls , typical of a high-engagement week for Pokémon investment cards.
