You are currently viewing Terra Classic Gains Momentum Ahead of Major LUNC Token Burn

  • Terra Classic is on track for a rally amid a potential 270 billion burn event ahead.
  • More on-chain indicators like Bollinger Bands show LUNC rally is imminent.

The Terra Classic (LUNC) coin recently saw a bullish breakout from an ascending triangle pattern, raising excitement among community members. LUNC’s bullish momentum comes ahead of a 270 billion token burn event.

Terra Classic LUNC Faces Key Resistance

According to MarketCap data, LUNC climbed over 5% in the last 24 hours to $0.00009937. It now faces key resistance at the $0.00012519 level, which could determine its next move. 

The ascending triangle pattern formed by LUNC indicates increased bullish interest. Each attempt at the upper resistance demonstrates buyers’ willingness to drive prices upward. This structure suggests that LUNC may see large gains if it breaks over the resistance level of $0.00012519.

However, failure to maintain this pattern could result in sideways movement or a decline, stifling recent excitement. Technical indicators reveal additional hints on LUNC’s position and future movement. For instance, the Bollinger Bands (BB) are getting tighter, suggesting less volatility and a possible breakout.

Therefore, the widened bands could support a strong move upward if LUNC breaks above the resistance. Furthermore, the Stochastic RSI indicates an overbought state, with readings as high as 93.61 and 82.58. This points to possible short-term profit-taking by some traders. 

However, the upward trend may persist if the price stays above crucial support levels. This scenario gives LUNC a solid foundation for further gains. LUNC’s increased trading volume further reinforces its optimistic price outlook. LUNC’s daily trading volume jumped by 222.09% to $34.02 million, indicating increased investor interest.

Typically, higher trading volume confirms the strength of breakouts. LUNC’s rising volume, therefore, suggests that market participants are anticipating a rally post-burn. Thus, the latest volume rise reinforces bullish sentiment and suggests the current breakout may have strong support.

LUNC’s 275 Billion Token Burn

CNF reported that the 275 billion LUNC burn represents a major event for the Terra Luna Classic community after the ecosystem collapse in 2022. The token burn event is a directive from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as Terraform Labs winds down operations.

The agency ordered Terraform Labs to destroy private keys linked to specific blockchain wallets, including USTC, LUNA, Wrapped LUNA, and LUNA 2.0. Terraform Labs, the blockchain behind the Terra ecosystem, received a green flag to wind down operations following a recent bankruptcy hearing.

Recall that the U.S. SEC accused Terraform Labs and its founder, DO Kwon, of defrauding investors, which led to the Terra ecosystem collapse. At the time, investors lost approximately $40 billion in market value. In light of the collapse, the court’s approval would enable the company to initiate the liquidation of its remaining assets.

With the upcoming burn event, a bullish chart pattern, and strong volume, LUNC appears poised for a potential rally.
