Anomalies

50 notable signals fired today. Headliner: Saradomin brew(4) flagged as a DUMP, severity 100, crashing -14.77% — worth watching for a bounce or further bleed. Volume surges (severity 100, all modest price moves) hit Crushed nest (-1.22%), Shark lure (+0.69%), Dynamite (+0.60%), and Red chinchompa (-0.34%) — activity spiking without big price dislocation, consistent with heavy flipping rather than panic.

Game updates

Wyrmscraig & Sailing Changes (high impact): new Sailing skill content and the Wyrmscraig area are expected to introduce fresh skilling materials, gear, and rewards, with potential to shift demand across multiple markets in the days ahead. No direct item-level correlation confirmed in today's data yet — worth tracking Skilling Supplies and Herbs indices as this content lands.
