During this span, the floors of popular Ethereum NFTs like CryptoPunks, Pudgy Penguins, and Azuki each pumped ~30% in USD terms, yet remained flat in ETH terms—between -1% and +2% respectively.

In other words? ETH did the heavy lifting this week, and it gusted strength into many other ether-price assets. 

In contrast, when NFT floors climb *in ETH*, that shows ETH holders are bidding harder on NFTs than on ETH itself. That wasn't the case in recent days, as inflows went to the top coin. 

The good news for the NFT ecosystem is that in prior cycles, NFTs have trailed big ETH moves by days or weeks. We *could *be in for a considerable rally here in short order accordingly. 

Plus, NFTs can meet this momentum halfway. The space is probably just a few well-placed catalysts away from tilting back into an NFT wave the likes of which we haven't seen since 2021. 

The next leg up might be pixelated...
