Weekly Market Observations & Trends

Breach Splinter appreciation:

The exchange rate for Breach Splinters has risen from 0.28 to 0.31 Exalted Orbs this week, due to the basic law of supply and demand; with new content or strategies potentially making Breach farming more popular, demand has outstripped supply. Consider buying now to capitalise on the upward trend before it potentially plateaus.

Simulacrum Value Adjustment:

We are seeing a sharp drop in the Simulacrum value from 4 to 1.91 Divine Orbs, perhaps due to dedicated farming or changes in player behaviour, causing the price to drop due to oversaturation.This is an excellent buying opportunity according to the concept of market equilibrium,prices are likely to adjust back to demand, potentially increasing in value.

Consistent fragment values:

Fragments such as Cowardly Fate, Deadly Fate, Victorious Fate, Ancient Crisis, Faded Crisis, and Weathered Crisis have remained stable at 1 Divine Orb.These fragments represent a form of 'store of value' in PoE, similar to commodities in real-world markets that hold their value through consistent utility. Holding or acquiring them for future use or trade is consistent with the strategy of investing in assets with predictable demand.

Community insights

Engagement with new content:

With the latest patch for Path of Exile 2 (trending on X), players are particularly engaged with the new endgame tower maps, leading to a shift in market demand towards related items such as Simulacrum Splinters. Discussions reveal a community inclined to explore these new maps, suggesting an increased value for items associated with this content.

Economic analysis tools:

Players are increasingly using tools such as poe.ninja and Path of Building for real-time market analysis to help them make informed trading decisions. This trend has led to a more knowledgeable player base, minimising the guesswork in trading and promoting a more balanced economy.

Strategic trading:

The community has shown a preference for trading strategies such as flipping items and selling in bulk, as seen in trading guides on sites such as odealo.com. Many players focus on these methods to maximise profit, which influences the market by creating a demand for large quantities and items with resale potential.

Recommendations for traders

Invest in Breach Splinters:

The slight increase in the value of Breach Splinters suggests a good investment opportunity. Use trading platforms to find bulk deals, using economies of scale to reduce unit costs, a strategy similar to bulk buying in real-world markets.

Capitalise on Simulacrum Price Dips:

The current dip in Simulacrum value is a classic example of buying low: watch market trends closely and invest in Simulacrum now, expecting future demand to drive prices up, similar to investing in undervalued stocks.

Hold on to stable fragments:

For long-term goals or achievements, hold fragments such as Cowardly Fate or Ancient Crisis. Their constant value ensures they won't depreciate, and you'll have them when you need them. If you have these fragments, keep them unless you need the currency immediately; if not, consider purchasing them at the current stable rate.

Keep abreast of community trends:

Engage with the Path of Exile community via forums, Discord or Reddit to stay ahead of market changes. Regularly participate in community discussions to gauge interest in various in-game content, which can influence item demand.
