Ether Falls 6.95% and Four Blue-Chip Floors Slip; Doodles Holds Flat as Pudgy Penguins Volume Jumps 128%
A five-collection briefing for October 2 through October 9, 2026: ether fell 6.95% and four blue-chip floors fell with it, Pudgy Penguins traded 128% more ETH than the week before, and Doodles was the only floor that held.
Data cutoff: Friday, October 9, 2026, 9:00 a.m. ET. Floor prices and floor changes cover the seven days from October 2 through October 9, 2026; volume and sales figures are trailing seven-day and 24-hour totals ending at that cutoff.
Ether fell 6.95% across CoinGecko's rolling seven-day series, from $2,667.95 to $2,482.48. Four of the five blue-chip floors fell with it, in ETH terms: Pudgy Penguins 4.88%, CryptoPunks 4.85%, Azuki 4.72% and BAYC 2.46%. Doodles closed flat at 0.2621 ETH. 123456
The floors are priced in ether, so ether's own 6.95% fall compounded theirs. In dollar terms all five closed 9% to 14% below their levels of a week earlier: BAYC $16,750.40 to $14,774.38, CryptoPunks $90,591 to $77,944, Pudgy Penguins $8,154.75 to $7,018.61. Azuki went from $1,743.72 to $1,503.04 and Doodles from $719.14 to $653.55. 23456
Volume rose across the cohort, and two names carried it. The five collections traded 2,234.15 ETH over the trailing seven days against 1,664.91 ETH in the prior period, a 34.2% increase. Pudgy Penguins traded 945.69 ETH, 127.5% more than a week earlier, and CryptoPunks 906.62 ETH, up 56.3%. BAYC fell 42.3% to 314.54 ETH, Azuki 42.8% to 49.78 ETH and Doodles 53.2% to 17.52 ETH. 7891011

Each metric comes from one surface, so the table compares like with like down every column. CoinGecko supplies the floor; the change compares this issue's figure with the same series' reading seven days earlier, which is also how the implied prior floors in the sections below are derived. NFT Price Floor's project statistics supply the trailing seven-day volume and sale count in native ETH, and its seven-day sales block supplies the largest recorded sale. OpenSea supplies the listed count and share, the top offer and the owner count as point-in-time snapshots. The two volume sources disagree in level — OpenSea's own endpoint reports 248.73 ETH of BAYC volume over seven days against the 314.54 ETH shown above — because they cover different venue sets; this article uses the NFT Price Floor series throughout so that every week-over-week comparison rests on one source. Listed shares and owner counts are snapshots of inventory and addresses; neither measures listing velocity or weekly participation. 2712
BAYC
BAYC fell 2.46% over the week to 5.95 ETH, 0.15 ETH below the 6.10 ETH this series read seven days earlier and the mildest decline in the group, and the dollar floor ended at $14,774.38. 2
Volume was 314.54 ETH across 49 sales, 42.3% less than the prior seven days, which is 44.93 ETH a day against a 30-day pace of 49.33 ETH. The most recent 24 hours carried 38.18 ETH of it. 7
OpenSea showed 262 items listed, 2.6% of the 9,996 supply and unchanged from a week earlier, with the highest visible offer at $13.9K against the $14.8K floor. That is 93.9% of floor, down from 97.0% seven days earlier. The week's largest sale was 8.99 ETH, 1.5 times the current floor. 12
Read: BAYC's bid gave ground. Last week the top offer jumped from 82.7% to 97.0% of floor, the widest repair in the group, and the test set then was whether it would hold above 95%. It closed at 93.9%, with the listed float unchanged at 262 and volume 42.3% lower. The listed float was unchanged and volume fell 42.3%, so the floor drifted lower as bidding and selling both withdrew. The comparison that settles it next week: an offer back above 95% of floor with volume above the 49.33 ETH daily pace of the last 30 days would make last week's jump durable; an offer under 90% with the listed count climbing would mark it as one bidder who has left.
CryptoPunks
CryptoPunks slipped 4.85% in ETH to 31.39 ETH, 1.60 ETH below the 32.99 ETH this series read seven days earlier, and the dollar floor closed at $77,944. 3
CryptoPunks traded 906.62 ETH across 25 sales, 56.3% more volume and 47.1% more sales than the prior seven days, which is 129.52 ETH a day against a 30-day pace of 151.86 ETH. The most recent 24 hours traded 243.89 ETH. 8
OpenSea listed 1,101 items, 11.0% of the 9,993 supply and eight more than a week earlier, the heaviest float in the group, and the page again exposed no top offer. The week's largest sale was 51.5 ETH, 1.6 times the current floor. 13
Read: CryptoPunks missed both legs of last week's test. Volume needed to return above 149.36 ETH a day and ran at 129.52, and the floor needed to hold 33 ETH and closed at 31.39. The listed float stayed the heaviest in the group at 11.0% of supply, and OpenSea published no top offer, so the state of the bid cannot be checked from outside. The 51.5 ETH print is the largest single sale in the group this week, 1.6 times the floor. The comparison to watch: a floor back above 32 ETH with volume above 151.86 ETH a day would say the deep float is being worked through; a floor below 30 ETH with more than 1,100 items listed would say that float caps any bounce.
Pudgy Penguins
Pudgy Penguins fell 4.88% to 2.825 ETH, 0.145 ETH below the 2.97 ETH this series read seven days earlier, and the dollar floor closed at $7,018.61. 4
Pudgy Penguins traded more ETH than any other name for a second week: 945.69 ETH across 304 sales, 127.5% more volume and 125.2% more sales than the prior seven days, which is 135.10 ETH a day against a 30-day pace of 59.31 ETH. The most recent 24 hours traded 160.43 ETH. 9
OpenSea listed 274 items, 3.1% of the 8,888 supply and eleven more than a week earlier, with the top offer at $6,831.25 against the $7,014.72 floor. That is 97.4% of floor, against 96.9% seven days earlier. The week's largest sale was 19.29 ETH, 6.8 times the current floor. 14
Read: Pudgy Penguins absorbed heavy selling and still lost less than half what it lost the week before. Volume ran at 2.3 times the prior week, 304 tickets cleared, the listed float grew by eleven, and the offer held at 97.4% of a floor now 4.88% lower. A bid that tracks the floor down while 304 sales clear is a market taking supply off impatient holders. Last week's test failed on both legs: volume needed to fall under 38.33 ETH a day and ran at 135.10, and the listed count needed to drop under 255 and rose to 274. The comparison to watch: volume easing toward the 59.31 ETH daily pace of the last 30 days with the listed count falling under 263 would say the distribution is done; listings still climbing with volume above 135 ETH a day would say it is not.
Azuki
Azuki fell 4.72% to 0.605 ETH, 0.030 ETH below the 0.635 ETH this series read seven days earlier, and the dollar floor closed at $1,503.04. 5
Volume fell 42.8% to 49.78 ETH across 44 sales, which is 7.11 ETH a day against a 30-day pace of 6.24 ETH. The most recent 24 hours traded 2.41 ETH. 10
OpenSea listed 507 items, 5.1% of the 10,000 supply and eight fewer than a week earlier, with the top offer at $1,383.65 against the $1,503.05 floor. That is 92.1% of floor, down from 94.0% seven days earlier and the weakest visible bid in the group. The largest recorded sale was 20 ETH, about 33 times the current floor. 15
Read: Azuki's floor and its bid both receded, and last week's reclaim test failed. The floor needed to return above 0.68 ETH with the offer above 95% of floor; it closed at 0.605 and the offer fell from 94.0% to 92.1%. The listed count fell for a second week, to 507, so supply is contracting even as the bid recedes. The 20 ETH print stands apart from the floor: one rare piece clearing 33 times the common level says nothing about where the common supply trades. The comparison to watch: a floor back above 0.635 ETH with the offer above 94% of floor would be the first real repair; an offer under 92% with the listed count rising again would say the bid is still receding.
Doodles
Doodles closed flat at 0.2621 ETH, the only floor in the group that held, and the dollar floor ended at $653.55. 6
Volume halved to 17.52 ETH across 54 sales, 53.2% less than the prior seven days, which is 2.50 ETH a day against a 30-day pace of 5.20 ETH. The most recent 24 hours traded 0.90 ETH. 11
OpenSea listed 283 items, 2.8% of the 9,998 supply and seven more than a week earlier, with the top offer at $630.96 against the $650.91 floor. That is 96.9% of floor, against 96.1% seven days earlier. The week's largest sale was 1.16 ETH, 4.4 times the current floor. 16
Read: Doodles was the one floor that held, and it held on the group's thinnest volume. Volume halved, the listed float grew by seven and the offer firmed slightly to 96.9% of floor. A level that stops falling while almost nothing trades is being set by the holders keeping their supply off the book. Last week's test, a listed count under 274, failed at 283. The comparison to watch: the floor holding 0.2621 ETH with volume back above the 5.20 ETH daily pace of the last 30 days would show the level is real; a listed count above 290 with the offer slipping under 96% would show the sellers returning.
Execution map
- Entry filter: The bid narrowed in two names and held in two. BAYC's top offer fell from 97.0% to 93.9% of floor and Azuki's from 94.0% to 92.1%, while Pudgy Penguins' held at 97.4% and Doodles' firmed to 96.9%. CryptoPunks exposes no top offer, so its bid cannot be screened at all. These are screening criteria, not recommendations. 12141516
- Supply check: The listed float moved by less than two-tenths of one percent of supply in every name — BAYC unchanged, CryptoPunks +8, Pudgy Penguins +11, Azuki -8, Doodles +7 — so no floor move this week came from a change in supply. 1213141516
- Repair tests: All five tests set a week ago failed. BAYC's offer stayed under 95% of floor at 93.9%; CryptoPunks' volume ran below 149.36 ETH a day at 129.52 with the floor under 33 ETH; Pudgy Penguins' volume ran far above 38.33 ETH a day with listings above 255; Azuki missed 0.68 ETH and its offer fell under 95% of floor; Doodles' listings rose to 283 against a target under 274. 7891011
- Risk reduction: Volume rose 34.2% across the cohort, but two names carried it, Pudgy Penguins at +127.5% and CryptoPunks at +56.3%, while BAYC, Azuki and Doodles each contracted by more than 42%. A falling floor on rising volume means sellers are being met; a falling floor on falling volume means buyers have stepped away. Pudgy Penguins traded more than twice the prior week and lost 4.88%; BAYC, Azuki and Doodles traded less and lost less. 7891011
Coverage limits
Net listing change is reported above, as each collection's listed count against the same figure a week earlier. Gross listing velocity is still unavailable: no surface checked exposes additions, cancellations or sold-listing counts. The routes re-tried this run were NFT Price Floor's own collection pages, which publish a current listed ratio and nothing on velocity, and Magic Eden's Ethereum collection API path, which returns Not Found; OpenSea's sale-events endpoint still answers with a request for an API key.
Wallet-level sweep and buyer attribution remain out of reach for the same reason, so this article reports each collection's largest single recorded sale from NFT Price Floor's seven-day statistics and cannot confirm a sweep or name the buyer. Weekly unique buyer and seller counts are unpublished, and owner counts are address snapshots rather than weekly participants.
Cross-marketplace floor comparison is still unavailable. Blur returns a security challenge instead of collection data, Magic Eden's Ethereum API path returns Not Found, and Reservoir's public API returned no response, so the floors and offers above rest on OpenSea and NFT Price Floor alone.
Three source-level divergences turned up this run and were resolved against this series' own prior readings. CoinGecko's rolling seven-day floor field reads -10.12% for Pudgy Penguins, which would put the October 2 reading at 3.14 ETH; the level that series published seven days ago, 2.97 ETH, and its own fourteen-day change both point to a smaller decline, so the change reported above is computed from the one-week-apart readings, as it is for all five rows. NFT Price Floor's own seven-day floor field conflicts with the level it publishes for four of the five collections and is not used. Last week's seven-day sale counts for BAYC, Azuki and Doodles implied average sale prices below those collections' floors, 2.57 ETH against a 6.10 ETH BAYC floor, while this week's readings imply averages above their floors, so a week-over-week change in sale count is given for CryptoPunks and Pudgy Penguins, where the prior figure was internally consistent.
