Sweeping the floor is a market behavior most commonly observed in NFT marketplaces, where a buyer rapidly purchases all available assets listed at the lowest price level, known as the floor price. This action immediately reduces supply at the bottom of the market and can trigger sudden upward price movements. Floor sweeping may be driven by genuine conviction that assets are undervalued, strategic accumulation by long-term holders, or coordinated activity designed to influence market perception. Because NFT markets often have fragmented liquidity and limited depth, sweeping the floor can dramatically reshape short-term pricing dynamics. While floor sweeps can signal strong demand, they can also be used manipulatively to create artificial scarcity and hype. In some cases, buyers sweep the floor to attract attention, drive social momentum, and later exit at higher prices. As a result, market participants must carefully assess whether floor sweeping reflects organic demand or short-lived speculative behavior. Understanding this phenomenon is essential for evaluating NFT market liquidity, price discovery, and sustainability.
