Some skins I wanted last month are now double the price. Is there any way to predict price movement, or is it just random hype from streamers and case drops?

Yeah, some of it is just market hype. But certain things like case discontinuations or limited-time drops can drive value. You’ve gotta follow community news closely.

What helped me get a better sense of pricing trends wasn’t just watching the market but learning what causes the shifts. When I first got curious, I found https://dmarket.com/cs2-wiki/ while searching for “skin investment tips CS2.” It gave context on rarity levels, case rotations, and why certain finishes get more attention. Since then, I’ve been way more cautious and strategic with my purchases.
