Bitcoin [BTC] made a significant entry into the NFT scene, causing a shakeup in the rankings and displacing Ethereum [ETH] as the dominant NFT network. However, new data indicates that Ethereum has reclaimed the top spot, particularly in the last 30 days.
Ethereum tops NFT sales volume ranking
Coin98 Analytics data showed that Ethereum has reasserted its dominance in the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) sales volume rankings. The analysis indicates that the sales volume on the network reached $356 million in January.
Bitcoin, with a sales volume of $335 million, was the only other network in the same volume bracket. This suggests an ongoing competition between the two networks, with Bitcoin recently joining the NFT sales volume race.

At the time of this writing, the total seven-day volume was over $182.8 million. Further examination showed a wash trade volume of over $39.5 million, resulting in an actual volume of over $143.3 million.

Ethereum moves up in price
An analysis of the Ethereum price trend on a daily timeframe showed its proximity to entering the $2,500 price range. The chart showed a consistent uptrend over the past few days, with a 2.75% increase on 9th February, reaching a trading value of $2,486.
At the time of this writing, ETH continued its uptrend, trading at about $2,491. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed the 60 threshold at the time of this writing, signifying a bull trend. If the upward momentum persists, Ethereum could enter the overbought zone.
