This week’s trading has been particularly uneventful for Terra’s LUNA price and other cryptos alike, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum which appear to have settled slightly above $27,000 and $1,800, respectively.
However, bulls seem to be increasing their presence in the market with LUNA up almost 2% on Thursday and trading at $0.9484. BTC and ETH are starting to thaw with 2.2% and 1.2% in gains coming in over the last 24 hours.
Despite the seemingly bullish outlook, cryptos are facing shrinking buying volumes that have left Terra’s LUNA price confined between critical support and resistance at $0.88 and $1, respectively.
Terra’s LUNA Price Consolidation Persists
LUNA, the token birthed following the TerraUSD (UST) crash in May last year, has sustained a subtle recovery from support at $0.88 this week, although the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) now limits price action under $0.9617.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reinforces the bullish grip on LUNA with a positive divergence and its position above the midline and the ascending trendline.
However, for Terra’s LUNA price recovery to continue above $1, bulls are required to flip the token above the 50-day EMA (in red).
A break and hold above $1 would not only affirm the bullish grip on the token, but the move will also pave the way for gains targeting $1.2, $1.5, and $2, in that order.
Some signals traders would be looking for include the token’s ability to weaken potential seller congestion at the 100-day EMA (line in blue) and the 200-day EMA (in purple).
Terra’s LUNA Price Holding on the Cliff’s Edge
Terra’s LUNA investors should be aware that they are hanging on the edge of a tall cliff with major support at $1.1 broken and out of the way. If the ongoing sell-off and instability in the crypto market continue, the recent anchor at $0.88 may not be enough to contain the bears.
Thus, it may be prudent to anticipate deeper losses possibly to $0.55. However, these declines could reach further downstream.
As observed on the four-hour timeframe chart LUNA now holds below all the major moving averages, the situation remains the same on the daily timeframe chart with the 50-day EMA, the 100-day EMA, and the 200-day EMA above the $255 million token.
On the other hand, the RSI argues that Terra’s LUNA price has exhausted the downtrend and is preparing for a rebound. The RSI sits on the lower end of the neutral region, slightly above the oversold region.
If the recently oversold conditions are to result in a positive outcome, bulls must drop their fear and return to the market. Buying volumes must be restored for LUNA to sustain the climb through the upper range limit at $1.1.
However, the danger of Terra’s LUNA price plunging to $0.55 would still be apparent.
Montenegro Prosecutors Appeal Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon
Several days after the court granted Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon and his associate Han Chang-joon bail, Montenegro prosecutors have filed an appellate case seeking to detain the two due to allegations lodged against them for traveling on fake documents, as reported by South Korea’s media platform, Yonhap.
On March 23, Kwon and Terra’s ex-CFO Han were apprehended at Montenegro’s Podgorica airport for allegedly attempting to leave the country using counterfeit passports.
South Korean national Kwon was subject to an Interpol Red Notice, requesting his detention by law enforcement.
The Montenegrin court indicted the duo on April 21. Both individuals denied falsifying travel documents, and their lawyers suggested a bail of 400,000 euros (US$437,000) each, which was approved by the local court last Friday.
The Terra ecosystem went a blaze in May 2022 after the algorithmic stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST) depegged from its $1, resulting in losses of up to $40 billion and a shaky crypto market plagued by several bankruptcy filings.
Kwon is a wanted criminal both in the United States and South Korea where is accused of perpetrating fraud, disregarding securities laws, and other charges related to the crash.
The founder has on many occasions denied the charges against him, and maintains that the mistakes that led to one of the crypto industry’s worst crashes took place under the company Terraform Labs and neither he nor the company intended to deceive investors.
Kwon argues that the charges lodged against him in South Korea are politically motivated. He (Kwon) and his associate (Han) are expected to appear for their next hearing on June 16.
