According to CoinMarketCap, LUNC’s price registered a decline of over 4% in the last seven days. At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.0001241 with a market capitalization of over $731 million. 

The hype around artificial intelligence

A few weeks back, AI became a big deal in the crypto space as all the AI-related tokens flourished, such as FETCH [FET]. The token also registered a price increase of 114% in February 2023.

LUNC’s recent change in sentiment can also be attributed to the AI hype. Edward Kim, a LUNC developer, hinted that Terra Classic could become an AI blockchain in the coming months, causing LUNC enthusiasts to become bullish. 

Kim mentioned in a blog:

“I have developed a custom machine learning Cosmos module that interacts directly with the Layer-1 infrastructure to tap into the compute power beyond the consensus layer.” 

He further added that LUNC users will have access to a suite of the most recent machine learning developments thanks to interchain block communication (IBC) and interchain accounts.

How much are 1,10,100 LUNCs worth today?

The bulls are not yet convinced 

At press time, investors could still expect LUNC’s price to plummet further, as suggested by its daily chart. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon pointed out a bearish upper hand in the market as the 20-day EMA was well-below the 55-day EMA.

Terra Classic’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) were both below the neutral mark, further increasing the chances of a continued downtrend. However, the MACD supported the buyers as it displayed a bullish crossover on 18 March.
