Are we priming for a Santa Claus year end rally? The smell is in the air and with the help of #StimmySzn NFT price action has been up across the board in recent weeks and most noticeably the past few days. We started the week off with a variety of sweeps across a number of OG collections, spurned on by notable whale Dingaling. Cryptoadz (1.47E, +67%) and Mocaverse (2.38E, +72%) were two of the days biggest movers as more volume continues to find its way into existing NFT collections.

Yuga co-Founder Gordon Goner emphatically returned from recent health woes and a made massive $1.1M (600E) CryptoPunk purchase. $BLUR has also been on a hot run of it's own with its token price up nearly 30% to $0.39 in the past day. Overall marketplace volume closed at $15.4M, a 50% increase from yesterdays number and the 2nd time we have eclipsed $15M in the past 4 days. ETH rests just under $1900.

The good times keep on rolling as Gordon Goner's spending spree continued as BTC saw another sizable candle to the upside. This came amidst the backdrop of some US elections and Coinbase opening Futures trading for select accounts. Now you can finally get a taste of that sweet leveraged action you've heard so much about, Anon. NFT floors were mostly green overall with a smattering of OG projects being the recipient of the daily "We're back!" pump. Today's lucky winners included Cool Cats (1E, +26%) and CloneX (1.65E, +19%).

 

There was no more sure sign of a loosening of degen's pursestrings than yet another 20% gain in volume across marketplaces. We saw a jump up to $20 million traded, signalling the most volume since early August. Oh, how we missed you Stimmy Season. Despite BTC's strength, ETH lagged behind, opting to stay in its range just below $1900.

Thursday 11/9

 

It feels like it really might be time to say "We're back!". More ETF news came across the timeline as multiple entities signalled their confidence in an approval before January. Filings for a spot ETH ETF were also seemingly uncovered from BlackRock as they look to bring mainstream access to everyone's favorite crypto. All of this led to extremely volatile price action as BTC ran above $38k before quickly falling back down to Earth around the $36.5k range.

 

NFTs felt like they may have been more on the quiet side as gas skyrocketed all day. However, volume was again rock solid with Gordon Goner buying more grail PFPs and generative art. The bullishness was spreading as we saw some major sweeps including over $1 million dollars dropped on sweeping the Cryptopunk floor by a fresh wallet. This caused a quick 10% surge in the Punks floor (58E) while Mocaverse's (2.3E) 40% gain was the other clear winner. Marketplace volume took another significant jump to $23.5 million as ETH finally started to play catch up and ran all the way to $2100, to the delight of everyone who opened their Web3 wallets today.
