I just took a look at the floor prices of the NFTs I’d been watching before—two of them moved, but not by much, like someone is intentionally suppressing bids to test the waters. Gas has started jumping again. Combined with the recent “airdrop season” task platforms being cracking down on sybil/anti-bot behavior, the whole vibe feels tense. It just seems like someone is rebalancing and rotating positions. The points-based system has even turned the “free-claim” crowd into a 996 grind, and a lot of community narratives have cooled off instead. Royalties have also been cut in a messy, all-over-the-place way. I made a rule for myself: when liquidity gets worse, no matter how pretty the floor looks, don’t rush to buy—wait until a round of the bundling/batching peak passes first. Plain and simple: in this kind of market, whoever moves first is more likely to get trapped.
