What the time series shows
The stored weekly series opens at 6 on August 28 2021 and stays in the 6-11 band for years. A first noticeable lift hits 31 on October 11 2025, then the 2026 theatrical climb: 28 on June 20, 34 on June 27, 52 on July 4, 80 on July 11, 100 on July 18, 79 on July 25, 73 on August 1, 59 on August 8, 93 on August 15, and 76 on August 22. Derived labels from this series: growth peaked, speed stationary, seasonality low, volatility low. The latest 76 is 24% below the July 18 peak, and that peak sits inside the last 90 days, which is why growth reads peaked rather than exploding. The 30-day percent change is -3.8%, inside the 10% band for stationary speed. Week-over-week percent-change standard deviation over the last 52 prints is about 21, under the 25 cutoff for low volatility. The 90-day change of +300.0% from 19 does not clear the +500% exploding bar.
