According to the data from NFT Price Floor, the cheapest NFT in the secondary market for projects like Moonbirds, Doodles, Bored Ape Yacht Club, Clone X and Mutant Ape Yacht Club have bounced by double-digit percentages when measured in terms of US dollars, per data.

In terms of USD value, its current price is 25 ETH, marking a rise of 41% in value during the last 24 hours.

In terms of USD, the Bored Ape Yacht Club floor is up 15% today to $230,000 (99.8 ETH), Mutant Apes are up 23% to above $52,000 (22.5 ETH), and Otherdeed virtual land deeds for the upcoming Otherside metaverse game—from the Bored Ape creators—are up 12% to nearly $6,900 (nearly 3 ETH). Talking about CryptoPunks, they have faced a bump at 5% to just over $123,000; whereas, Meebits have popped up 28% to $13,400.
Moving on to project that can be called as the odd one out for today, it is Azuki since its floor price has lost 43% of its USD value in the past 24 hours, dropping to about $24,000 (10.4 ETH).
