The Thursday concentration
The shape places the largest listing count on Thursday and the next-largest August
count on Saturday. Those counts give the week a clear Thursday peak before the
weekend.
The customs split adds a second layer: Wednesday and Thursday ads carry the highest
uncleared share (58.7% and 58.0% against Sunday's 55.7%), placing the strongest
uncleared shares alongside the mid-week listing peak.
Reading the weekly pattern

floor. Thursday and Saturday carry the largest August counts, useful reference points
for readers comparing the weekly flow.
