- The surge in LUNC price is attributed to ongoing token-burning activities on the Terra Classic network, with over 628 million tokens destroyed in the past week.
- Binance has emerged as the primary contributor, burning over 70.8 billion tokens. Other supporters include the DFLUNC Protocol, which burned 4.52 billion tokens, and LunaticsToken, with 1.97 billion burned.
The Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) market rose continuously during five trading days and surpassed its essential resistance barrier. On February 12, LUNC reached its peak value at $0.0000784 while showing a 59% rise relative to its yearly market lows.
LUNC Burn Activity Triggers Price Surge
The upward price trend of LUNC joins altcoins in general, which have recovered from their local winter lows reached on Monday. LUNC’s latest price increase stems directly from the continuous token-burning efforts on the Terra Classic network.
LUNC Metrics demonstrates that the network has destroyed more than 628 million tokens throughout the previous week. The latest round of burning operations has expanded the total destroyed LUNC supply up to 402.78 billion since the initiative commenced.
The current pace indicates that the total burned supply will cross the 403 billion threshold during the latter part of this month. Between on-chain network transactions and Terraform Labs donation amount, 67.86 billion of the total burned tokens have been eliminated thus far, but 334.92 billion tokens were directed toward the burn wallet.
Binance stands out as the primary supporter of LUNC burning through its destruction of more than 70.8 billion tokens, as noted in our earlier post. The burn process received substantial support from the DFLUNC Protocol, which managed to destroy 4.52 billion tokens, along with LunaticsToken, which burned 1.97 billion tokens.
The act of burning tokens serves to lower supply, which can elevate the worth of(tokens) that remain after depletion. The Terra Classic community believes that ongoing burn operations alongside staking might possibly resolve the issues that affect TerraClassicUSD (USTC).
USTC, the stablecoin that lost its peg during the Terra ecosystem collapse, also recorded a notable surge. USTC price rose above 13.22% today to reach the value of $0.01875. However, the current value of USTC remains 5,233% below its target dollar value of $1, therefore necessitating further increase in price.
LUNC Price Analysis Today
On Wednesday, LUNC price continued surging, trading at $0.00007805, up by 5.12% at press time. A formation of hammer candlestick pattern emerged at this price level with its long lower wick and tiny body structure, which often indicates a bullish reversal move, as mentioned in our previous story.
The LUNC price exceeded the upper boundary forming the pattern of declining wedge. The falling wedge is created by descending trend lines that move toward one another and generally signal bullish price movements. Terra Classic overcame its previous support area at $0.00007140 in early September.
Terra Classic stands to potentially reach its next major resistance point at $0.0001025 after breaking through this barrier because this level corresponds with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement measure. The future price potential stands at 40% above its current value according to this target measurement. Hence, the current bullish outlook would become invalid if market bearishness drives prices beneath the $0.00005525 support.
