Analysis notes for today: Boss related gear
Boss related gear had a polarized reaction to the new boss compared to above.
Boss Related gear spiked an immense amount at the start of the day and for much of it we have seen the same market correction factors taking effect
here are some examples:
Ancestral Robe top:

You can see the downward spike happened the same time as the upward spike for non boss items. Strongly correlated
Ancestral robe bottom:

The massive winner is of course the Tormented Synapse, as everyone suspected. IT is big when the suspected item wins because that means the item was able to break every threshold of merching. After violently spiking up and down the trajectory became clear it was goign to be strong and passed the 80 mil merch barrier. It is still hovering at 80 mil (as of 5:30pm EDT UTC-4) and may continue to rise as the weekend player base hits to try the new content.

Conclusion:
This is a very standard reaction in the market for new gear. I will say the market correction happened a bit sooner that I had expected you can see in the 6 mil I lost in some later trades
This strongly correlates the non boss equipment getting sold and boss equipment getting bought argument.
Synapse could hit its ceilign any minute or it could keep going up, although I am on the side of it rising to 90 mil before stopping.
Be careful for that moment the market begins to correct because it swung very fast and it is easy to lose a lot of gold very quickly expecting the sell offers to fulfill.
