What the market is doing
Quietly climbing
Beating the market over two months without dramatic swings. The unglamorous pattern that tends to persist.

Why ask this
A card up 20% in a market up 20% has done nothing, so every trend figure here has the market's own move subtracted out. This list then removes the dramatic half: what is left is cards genuinely beating the market without the swings that usually come with it.
How to read the figure
The figure is two months of market-neutral return. Two months rather than one because a real move has had time to show and a blip has had time to fade.
Shown on every row: 2-month trend
How well it has measured
2-month trend: Consistent. Across 38 test dates, each scored using only what was knowable that day, cards it ranked in the top tenth beat its bottom tenth by about 10% over the next 60 days on average (rank correlation +0.199). The windows overlap, so that is closer to 13 independent readings than 38, all from one rising market.
Where it can be wrong
Momentum was measured to continue rather than revert in this market, but the whole history runs from 2024 and has only ever been a rising one. Nothing here has been tested through a downturn.
