NFT sales experienced a huge drawback in the past month. Initially, there was a 74% drop in sales in the 30 days.
Recent data shows that a 17% drop occurred again in the last seven days. This is much lower than what was recorded in the previous week.
Reports say that the floor price of popular NFTs in terms of the value of Ethereum collections bounced back this week.
Because the exchange rate of ether is low, blue-chip NFTs are now selling for a lower price than they sold in the past month.
Bored Ape Yacht (BAYC) is the NFT collection with the highest floor price of about 90 ETH but it was previously at 95.5 ETH. 95.5 ETh is equivalent to $204k while 90ETH is just about $97k.
The previous floor value of Chipmunk was 51.9 ETH but it experienced a 40% increase in the last 24%. The current floor value is now 66.65 ETH.
Analysis of NFT Sales as they Continue to Drop

Conclusion
The sales of NFT are declining as individuals are gradually losing interest.
According to Google Trends worldwide data, the search for NFT has dropped to 21 out of 100 but in January 2022, the search score was 100.
The sales of the NFTs will increase if people begin to gain interest in NFTs again.
