NFT aggregator Blur eyes 30% price pump by March amid airdrop euphoria

cointelegraph.com:

Blur (BLUR) could rise by up to 30% by March 2023 owing to a mix of technical and fundamental factors.

Blur is a nonfungible token (NFT) aggregator that indexes digital art listings across various base marketplaces like LooksRare and OpenSea. In doing so, the aggregator allows users to trade across all NFTs marketplaces via a single interface.

Since its launch in October 2022, Blur has become the leading NFT aggregator, accounting for 40%-60% of the daily NFT trading volume, according to data tracked by Messari.

The period has also witnessed the Blur team "airdropping" free BLUR tokens to users who have traded Ethereum-based NFTs in the past six months. On Feb. 15, Blur officially launched its native token of the same name, allowing airdrop recipients to trade it for fiat money and other crypto assets.

According to Dune Analytics, Blue has airdropped 360 million tokens across its users. Interestingly, users have claimed nearly 339 million BLUR tokens in the first six days of the launch against the 60-day deadline.

Typically, traders dump airdropped tokens early to secure an instant profit. Nonetheless, BLUR's price remains approximately 25% higher than its market debut price of $0.88, suggesting that most traders have decided to hold it longer.

One reason could be the Blue team's intention to conduct another airdrop in the coming months. The news coincides with Blur's total-value-locked (TVL) metric reaching a record high of 76,490 ETH, according to Defi Llama.

"Blur airdrop reminds me of the Uniswap airdrop," noted independent market analyst Nekoz, adding:

BLUR price technicals are also hinting at a bullish scenario being more likely.

On the four-hour chart, BLUR has painted a Doji pattern at the end of its short-term correction
