Counter-Strike 2 Update
Valve published "Counter-Strike 2 Update" on 20 April 2026 in Community Announcements. The PatinaAI market index's median read 31.18 points in the seven days after against 31.76 before, −1.8 %. A typical week moves under 0.1 % either way on the same measure. A read is a comparison with a date, not a cause.

The PatinaAI market index's median over the seven days after the post was 31.18 points against 31.76 over the seven days before: −1.8 %. A typical week moves under 0.1 % either way on the same measure, the drift this read has to beat. The post's own day is left out. A comparison with a date, not causation.

How to read the number
The read compares the market index's median over the seven UTC days after the post with the seven days before it, the post's own day left out, and needs at least three published days on each side. The same measure taken on every day of the series is the drift a typical week shows; a read inside that drift is the market doing what it was doing. Neither is proof the post moved anything. The composite is on the market report, every basket under the indexes, and every update is on one list.
