Newcomers to NFT investing often face risks—and even potential financial losses—due to a lack of domain knowledge and data analysis skills. However, following experienced NFT degens can lead to vastly different outcomes. GoAlerts offers a copy-trading-like experience in the NFT space, allowing users to track real-time activity and seize opportunities ahead of the curve.
According to NFTGo.io, 288 whales collectively hold NFTs worth 686.33K ETH, accounting for 7.44% of the total NFT market value of 9.22 million ETH. These whales typically hold large NFT positions, act as early market movers, and influence overall market sentiment.
After studying these profitable whales, we’ve distilled six key strategies they use to generate profits during bear markets. These include strategic bulk buying and dip accumulation, bottom-feeding undervalued NFTs, strategic selection and diversification, multi-platform exploration, batch minting, and prioritizing project characteristics. Based on this, we analyzed 19 trader addresses to identify actionable trading cases that may benefit users.
Pranksy.eth frequently mints NFTs in batches, ensuring portfolio diversification.
Over the past three months, pranksy.eth has minted approximately 1.1K NFTs, including 121 Ether Avatars, with the rest coming from lesser-known projects. His collection is highly diversified, comprising 331 unique collections, 90% of which are mid- and small-cap NFTs.
This approach helps reduce volatility risk from any single project while increasing the likelihood of holding high-value assets. Through these strategies, pranksy.eth has generated a total profit of 7.23K ETH while maintaining a balanced portfolio.
Chungster.eth demonstrates a sharp eye for identifying promising NFT projects, reflecting deep insight into the NFT market landscape. His trading behavior aligns with evolving trends, including popular collections such as Opepen, Ether Avatar, and Azuki Elementals.
Chungster.eth trades across multiple platforms, including Blur and OpenSea, and also employs niche tactics—such as using OpenSea Pro via Blur or LooksRare Aggregator via OpenSea. This multi-platform exploration expands his access to potential profit-generating opportunities.
Jklaub.eth adopts a calculated risk allocation strategy, focusing on batch trading and minting obscure NFT series.
When balancing profit and loss, he strategically sells some holdings while waiting for returns from other portfolio assets. For example, on July 2, he bought three Wooonen at 0.0185 ETH each, then sold two at 0.0155 ETH and one at 0.0222 ETH on July 3.
This method reflects both diversification and market sensitivity, helping him achieve a total profit of 474.53 ETH amid volatile NFT market conditions.
Drewaustin.eth has achieved up to 20x returns from various projects such as FLUF World.
Notably, he shows strong judgment on both well-known and emerging collections—for instance, starting in May, he invested timely in the Opepen series and has continued to profit from it.
As a savvy investor, drewaustin.eth understands the benefits of multi-platform trading and strategically selects promising yet under-the-radar projects.
Nyax.eth employs a fast-paced, volume-driven trading strategy, precisely targeting NFTs during price dips and quickly flipping them for small profits.
His trading patterns in series like OCB, Milady Maker, and Sproto Gremlin show deep familiarity with NFT traits and market values. For trending collections like BEANZ, he opts for bulk purchases to rapidly drive up prices and ensure quick turnover, demonstrating exceptional market navigation skills.

Additionally, Nakiri.eth flipped Milady Maker for a 3x profit, with an average cost of 3.13 ETH and an average sale price of 3.53 ETH.
Beyond holding blue-chip collections like Azuki, DeGods, and MAYC, Nakiri.eth capitalizes on short-term meme trends by batch-trading series such as Fatzuki.
Coodi.eth uses a high-frequency trading strategy focused on micro-series and batch transactions.
Although he typically targets lower-margin projects, he successfully flipped Killer GF, Wolf Game, and Karafuru, generating over 15 ETH in profit.
While Coodi.eth earned only 17.64 ETH, he exemplifies how small-budget traders can uncover significant opportunities.
Samuelcardillo.eth is the CTO of RTFKT, and his Twitter handle is @CardilloSamuel.
Notably, nearly half of samuelcardillo.eth’s portfolio consists of RTFKT holdings. If you’re also an RTFKT holder, tracking this address allows you to stay updated on the latest developments and data changes within RTFKT, giving you deeper insights and more opportunities.

Currently, he owns 2,730 NFTs from 51 different collections. Recently, he purchased 15 Ether Avatars and 75 Ether Capsules.
Moreover, this address appears deeply involved in the LOTM game, evident from his extensive minting of Otherdeed Expanded and Otherside Vessels—he holds 757 Otherdeed Expanded and 729 Otherside Vessels.
Bored.eth's strategy involves closely following trends and uncovering the potential of various NFT projects.
The Opepen Edition serves as an example—this investor has been consistently buying for two months, accumulating a large position of 751 Opepens, resulting in a 3x return.
His trades span numerous NFT projects, including Metropolis World Passport Official, Sappy Seal, and Nifty Portal, indicating a diversified investment approach aimed at discovering hidden gems in the NFT space.
