NFT Market Prediction This Week

Earlier last month, many crypto traders and collectors neglected the non-fungible token market and made a drastic shift to the memecoins and crypto market, which was overly hyped following the highly anticipated Bitcoin halving event. Since the crypto market operates in seasons, the global NFT market will likely boom again this year in sales once the current memecoins season fades out.
