Trader consensus heavily favors the "Under" at 95.5% implied probability because the Pikachu ex Special Illustration Rare from Ascended Heroes has traded in a narrow band near or below $1,050 recently, with sources showing values around $954–$1,049 as of September 19 and consistent 7–9% declines over the past month amid softening secondary-market demand. No major catalysts such as new set releases, tournament breakthroughs, or grading surges appear imminent before the September 30 snapshot. A realistic upset would require an abrupt late surge from collector FOMO or unexpected media attention, though the card’s recent trajectory and short remaining window make such a reversal unlikely.
