Will Milady flip BAYC in 2024?
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Milady has a higher floor price than Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) for at least 1 continuous hour between May 20 and December 31, 2024, 11:59 PM ET (inclusive). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The primary resolution source for this market will be Blur's chart for each NFT, specifically the red line for 1d sales, for the dates within this market's range (Milady: https://blur.io/eth/collection/milady, BAYC: https://blur.io/collection/boredapeyachtclub). If Blur becomes unavailable or ceases to report figures, another credible source may be used. Note: If the 1 hour long period starts at e.g. December 31, 2024 11:20 PM ET it will still count for this market.

Event Analysis
Summary
The prediction market concerns whether the Milady NFT collection will achieve a higher floor price than Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) for at least one continuous hour between May 20 and December 31, 2024. This "flipping" scenario represents a significant potential shift in the NFT market hierarchy, as BAYC has historically maintained its position as one of the most valuable NFT collections.
Based on current market data and research, BAYC's floor price significantly exceeds Milady's, with BAYC at approximately 4,884 ETH compared to Milady's 350.79 ETH. While the NFT market shows signs of potential growth in 2024, with projected CAGR of 35.02% through 2027, the gap between these collections remains substantial and would require extraordinary circumstances for Milady to briefly surpass BAYC's floor price.

Prediction
Based on comprehensive analysis of market data and trends, I predict with high confidence (8/10) that Milady will not flip BAYC in 2024. The current price differential and established market position of BAYC make a flip extremely unlikely, though not impossible given the volatile nature of NFT markets. I assign a 96% probability to BAYC maintaining its position above Milady, slightly higher than the current market estimate of 94.5%.
