During that time, [floor prices](https://nftpricefloor.com/) climbed across major PFPs like **CryptoPunks **(+7%), **Pudgy Penguins** (+14%), **Miladies **(+19%), and **Azuki **(+11%), along with generative art series like **Autoglyphs **(+24%), **Fidenzas **(+15%), and **Chromie Squiggles** (+9%).

Things are flatter elsewhere. 

For instance, on Bitcoin top collections like **NodeMonkes **and **Bitcoin Puppets **are down around 1-2% this week, with **Mad Lads**—the king of the PFP hill on Solana— also down by 2% in that span. 

Those are hardly 7D bleedouts, to be sure. Yet it's interesting to note the **relative strength of Ethereum NFTs** compared to big assets on other big chains right now. 

Seeing both ETH *and *top Ethereum NFTs ending the week with gains *and *simultaneously outperforming the other crypto majors **hasn't been a common occurrence** over the past year. 

Whether this shift is the start of a true reversal or just a temporary divergence remains to be seen, of course. But for now, Ethereum NFTs are enjoying a moment of strength while the rest of the market drifts sideways—**let's see if they can keep it up**!
