Data Analysis of BAYC in May
May 10th Marks the Lowest Floor
An interesting observation is that on May 10th, the floor price of BAYC dropped to its lowest point in a year, reaching 40.95 ETH. Despite this dip, it was also the day with the second highest trading volume this month, and since then, the price has been on a steady rebound.
Market Sentiment is Influencing Volume
The most significant observation from the data is the consistent downward trend in the market capitalization of BAYC, falling by a significant 44% from 820k to 460k ETH. Looking at a larger scope, the trading volume in May is only half that of April, which is still indicative of the overall market sentiment since we are in meme season.
On May 10th, there was a slight change in the holding period, with some holders holding their NFTs for less than 24 hours. This suggests that there may be new holders entering the market and seeking to make quick profits.
It is also worth noting that almost 44.5% of holders have been holding their NFTs for more than one year, and this number is steadily increasing. 10.51% of holders have not sold their BAYC NFTs since minting.
Holders Began to Rebound
According to NFTGo, the peak trading volume for this month occurred on May 2nd, followed by May 10th, with approximately 50 transactions each. The lowest point was reached on May 20th. Additionally, it was noted that the liquidity reached 0.5% on May 2nd and 10th, respectively.
Notably, there has been a decreasing trend in the number of BAYC holders since last month. However, this trend appears to have reversed on May 10th, as the number of holders began to increase once again.

Apecoin Analysis
Currently, the price of $APE is 3.47 and the last highest mount is in Feb 2023. At that time, we saw the Otherside 2nd trip come out as well as the Dookey dash. With the legend of Mara coming in the next few weeks, the price of $APE might have some rebounded as previously. Though the market is cooling down, the holder of $APE is constantly growing in the past several months.
Currently, there are over 120,000 addresses holding $APE. However, the number of active $APE addresses has been declining since February 2021, and it is currently below 10,000 for the first time this year.

Game Economy and NFTs
Legends of the Mara (LoTM) offers an intricate gameplay mechanism that incorporates a plethora of strategic choices, each leading to distinctive outcomes. Let's take a deep dive into related collections and examine their performance
Otherside Vessels
The initial fervor surrounding the game's launch was marked by a seller-dominated market, with selling activity surpassing buying by a notable margin. This trend, however, evolved significantly after the first update. Both buying and selling activities saw a substantial drop, roughly around 70%, indicating a shift from the launch's hype-driven market to a more stable and mature trading environment.
However, despite the reduced transactional activity, the number of holders demonstrated a slight but positive growth of 1.7%. This trend implies a steady accumulation of Vessels NFTs by dedicated players, likely focusing on the strategic gameplay aspects.
From the initial launch to the second update, the floor price and average price demonstrated a steady but moderate decline. Specifically, the floor price dropped from 0.35 ETH at launch to 0.29 ETH at the second update. The volume, however, saw a more dramatic decrease from the launch's 1.37K ETH to the second update's 86.15 ETH. In essence, these trends depict a market maturing after an initial burst of enthusiasm. They underscore the important role of game updates in stimulating trading activity, with a shift towards a more holder-centric environment.
Otherside Koda
In the strategic ecosystem of "Legends of the Mara", Otherside Koda takes on a pivotal role. As the main guardians of Otherside, they excel at farming, casting spells, and hunting, thus setting them apart from Vessels in terms of both functionality and value.
The trading activity surrounding Otherside Koda NFTs presents an intriguing counterpoint to that of Vessels. Unlike Vessels, the seller and buyer activity for Koda appears more balanced, indicating an equally matched interest and supply. What is notable, however, is the increase in the number of Koda holders by 3.07%, a greater increase compared to Vessels. This could be attributable to Koda's enhanced functionality within the game, potentially appealing to a broader or more dedicated player base.
The floor price and average price decreased, but they started from a significantly higher level. From the initial 10.48 ETH floor price and 10.85 ETH average price at launch, we saw a reduction to 6.8 ETH and 7.34 ETH respectively at the second update.
Legends of the Mara has promising potential in the NFT gaming market. Both developers and players need to balance economic considerations with the fun and excitement of the game. Perhaps an in-game tutorial or a comprehensive guide could be introduced to help new players understand game mechanics better.
