- Azuki, a well-known NFT collection on the Ethereum network, has seen a significant fall in its floor price of over 11%.
- Despite Azuki’s decline, NFT collections by Yuga Labs are demonstrating positive trends, highlighting the volatile nature of the NFT marketplace.
The Non-Fungible Token (NFT) market, a dynamic digital landscape, is currently witnessing a dichotomy. Azuki, a notable blue chip NFT collection operating on the Ethereum network, has encountered a significant dip in its floor price. Over the past 24 hours, Azuki’s floor price descended precipitously from 17.5 ETH to 14.11 ETH, an approximately 11% decrease.
The shift in Azuki’s pricing might stem from inherent market dynamics and demand fluctuations. However, the forthcoming launch of the Azuki Elemental collection, intended to launch 20,000 unique pieces, is generating considerable anticipation. Azuki and BEANZ holders are particularly intrigued, as they are slated to receive an AirDrop of Soulbound Tokens (SBT) in addition to a locked Elemental NFT.
The impact of the Azuki Elemental collection on Azuki’s floor price is yet to be discerned. It could potentially stimulate a resurgence of interest in the collection, thus bolstering Azuki’s value.
Contrastingly, Yuga Labs’ NFT collections are faring considerably well. The Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) has witnessed a 6.76% rise in its floor price in the last 24 hours, attesting to its ongoing popularity and the sustained demand for its distinct digital assets. Moreover, Meebits, another celebrated collection by Yuga Labs, saw a 1.88% increase in its floor price during the same timeframe.
However, amidst Yuga Labs’ successful floor prices, its associated token, APE, has been encountering challenges. Following a test of the $3.522 resistance level, APE’s price has diminished by nearly 35% in the second half of June. The pattern of multiple lower lows and lower highs signals a bearish trend.
APE, despite its recent price dip, demonstrated indications of a potential recovery. After reaching the $1,953 level on June 9, the token exhibited some positive momentum. However, this upward trend wasn’t substantial enough to form a more assertive bullish trend.
In terms of social engagement, APE gained notable attention with a 20% increase in social mentions and a 120% surge in engagement over the past month. Nevertheless, the weighted sentiment fell significantly, indicating that negative comments about APE outweighed the positive ones, affecting its overall standing in the market.
