24hr Market Overview

NFT Market Volume

Yesterday, Opensea closed the day with $173 million in sales. This is the largest day of trading since February the 13th and marks the third consecutive day of above-average trading activity.

CLONE X saw a strong day of sales, closing at 7,956 ETH, up from 1,187 ETH on Saturday, marking it as the project's best day since its launch week in Mid December. There was no specific news that led to this increase in volume. Instead, it was due to people looking for more high-quality, well-established projects to pump as much as Azuki has over the past 2 weeks. Another project which benefited from similar attention was Doodles, trading 2066 ETH, up nearly 4x from 519 ETH on Saturday.

NFT Floor Changes

Both Clone X (20.5 ETH, +25.13%) and Doodles (15.9 ETH, +13.57%) saw great floor gains over the past 24 hours with their influx of volume. Clone X is hosting an exhibition in May, featuring never seen work from Takashi Murakami with sculptures based on the CLONE X collection, holders will now hope that this event can bring a similar level of attention to the project as Azuki's garden party last week.

Cyber Brokers (4.9 ETH, +48.48%) saw big gains over the past 24 hours, the project is up over 100% in the last week, trading at lows of 2 ETH on Thursday. Furthermore, Pudgy Penguins (2.98 ETH, +14.62%) continued to pump, being up 166% over the past week.

Multiple large pumps across the space combined with one of the highest days in volume in nearly 2 months give us positive signs that the NFT market is finally waking up after a sleepy March.Azuki (27.8 ETH, -10.32%) was one of the only major projects to see losses on Sunday. However, after 2 weeks of constant gains, a pullback in price isn't too much of a concern for holders.
