Market intelligence outcomes

What you'll discover

The AI processes BUFF data into these specific insights.

TRENDS

Price shift detection

The AI compares historical data to find items where prices are moving due to recent activity. You see which assets are gaining or losing value.

VOLUME

Liquidity analysis

By looking at transaction counts, your AI identifies which items are actually moving. This helps you separate hype from real market demand.

EVENTS

Esports impact mapping

The AI correlates price changes with specific tournament dates or player activity. You'll see how external events drive item demand.
