#1 - Supply and Demand
On a card there are varying amount of supply and demand throughout a time period.
- The more demand there is, the lower the supply therefore the price rises
- When there is low demand, supply increases and price falls.

#2 - Pack Supply Effect (Rewards, Promo's etc)
At time of pack supply, there is a mass opening. This causes and initial drop in prices of cards in packs.
However. This pack opening gives people more coins. This allows them to upgrade their teams/complete SBCs Causing a rise.

#3 - General Market Trends - Pricing
Prices tend to be lowest at the start of the week (Sunday - Monday) due to lower demand and higher supply from people selling WL Teams.
They're Higher Thursday - Saturday due to demand of buying WL Teams and coin injection from Packs

#4 - Alternative Trading
EA releasing new content causes similar/alternative cards to fall in price due to people selling - creating more market supply. This is because they want to get the new card.
Once the content expires the alternative rebounds as its no longer available.

#5 - Complement Trading
When new content is released (typically SBC's or Objectives) and there is demand for the card. People need to find ways to link these new cards into their teams.
This causes the prices of cards they link to, to rise as there's a higher demand for them.

#6 - Thursday Flips
This follows the trend of #2
People open packs causing an initial drop in prices of cards in packs. They then sell and go buy their new teams. This means the overall market demand is higher, so prices rise.
Links, Out of packs cards etc do particularly well

Our aim of this is Explain and not just spoonfeed. To help you guys understand WHY and not just WHAT. Therefore you can apply it yourselves.
Hopefully we've achieved that in this thread.
