The NFT market, led by CryptoPunks, is showing a strong rebound from lows, with the floor price returning to $100,000 and demonstrating resilience against recent fear.

Viewed as a leveraged bet on the price of ETH and BTC. It is predicted to go back to $250,000 if Bitcoin reaches $180,000.

Investors should be cautious of potential further downside due to diminishing social status and a lack of new buyers.

A notable crypto investor is looking to acquire a CryptoPunks NFT hoodie through off-market sales, indicating potential demand and a bullish view on specific, unlisted assets within the collection.
