So in short, after a four year bout with cancer my Dad passed. I’ve spent the last years flying all over and taking care of him, taking him to different hospitals, working with him through radiation and chemo and clinical trials, and then finally hospice. We were lucky with insurance and somehow we weren’t bankrupted…

NFT sales have been breaking records and making headlines for a while now. This week, top NFT sales made even more news, thanks to a quirky purchase story. But more on that later! First, let’s get a lowdown on the top 5 NFT sales for the week ending 10/24/21. The Bored Yacht Club bagged the top spot again, clocking a sweet deal of 697 ETH for #8585. That’s a whopping 2.68 million in traditional dollars. Dankrupt sold for 469 ETH or $1.93 million. CryptoPunk notched the next three spots, with #4992 clocking a price of 450 ETH or $1.70 million and #273, 265 ETH or $1.02 million. The sale that made the most headlines wasn’t spearheading this pack of Top 5 NFT Sales of the Week. Instead, it brought up the rear. We know what you’re thinking. A self-made multimillionaire making a million-dollar purchase isn’t the hottest of news anymore. But read on, and you’ll see why this incident takes the cake. It all went down when Carl Runefelt, aka The Moon Carl, purchased CryptoPunk #4626 at 249 ETH or $1.02 million. Noticing that this particular crypto art NFT was strikingly similar to his features, Carl went ahead and dropped a million dollars. Only after the purchase was complete did he realize that the CryptoPunk art he had just bought was of a female! Well, Carl being Carl, confidently held on to the purchase. And soon enough, the crypto investment guru’s quirky deal began grabbing loads of attention. With a market capitalization of $43.08 billion and weekly sales clocking anywhere between $10 and $20 million, the global NFT market has skyrocketed over the last few months. If current trends are any indication, ready yourself for record-breaking numbers in the near future too. And if Carl’s story is anything to go by, we may even witness some more bizarre happenings!

As Ethereum’s price approaches new all-time highs, the coin’s supply shock seems to be deepening with exchange reserves declining 18% in the last five months. Ethereum Exchange Reserves Are Down 18% In The Last 5 Months As pointed out by a CryptoQuant post, ETH’s exchange reserves seem to have declined a lot in the last few months, signaling that a supply shock might be brewing in the crypto. The all exchanges reserve is an indicator that shows the total amount of Ethereum present in wallets of all exchanges. An increase in the metric’s value means investors are moving their coins to exchanges for selling purposes, thus increasing the available supply of the crypto. Such a trend could be bearish for ETH. A decrease, on the other hand, would imply that holders are taking their Ethereum off to personal wallets, either for hodling them, or for selling through OTC deals. This trend can prove to be bullish for the crypto.

In the last five months alone, the reserve has dropped by 18%.

The exchange reserve measured around 22 million ETH back then. Since then, the coin has broke $4k two more times, and each time the reserve has been lesser. Today, the value of the indicator is just 18 million ETH. This trend shows that the demand for Ethereum has been pretty different each time the coin has approached its ATH. Since the exchange reserves are very low right now, the usual supply and demand dynamics tell us such a supply shock may help propel the price of the coin up soon. ETH Price At the time of writing, Ethereum’s price floats around $4.4k, up 11% in the last seven days. Over the last month, the crypto has gained 54% in value. The below chart shows the trend in the price of ETH over the past five days.

If the supply is anything to go by, the coin might be ready to head up soon and explore new ATHs. Featured image from Unsplash.com, charts from CryptoQuant.com, TradingView.com
