However, if you follow an experienced NFT degen, you are likely to get completely different results. GoAlerts provides a copy-trading experience in the NFT field, allowing users to track real-time information and seize opportunities first.
According to NFTGo.io, there are 288 whales in the NFT market that collectively hold 686.33K ETH worth of NFTs, accounting for 7.44% of the overall market value of 9.22 million ETH. These whales hold a large number of NFTs and are usually the first movers in the market, affecting market sentiment.
After studying these profitable whales, we summarized six strategies that detail the whales' practices for profit in the bear market. These strategies include strategic batch buying and dip buying, bargain hunting of undervalued NFTs, strategic selection and diversification, multi-platform exploration, batch minting of NFTs, and prioritizing project features.
