The market’s healthy gains, led by Bitcoin [BTC] advancement to $27k, did not result in any upside for LUNC at press time. Instead, sellers look to be primed for another downward move.
Bears extend dominance as bullish rebound subdued
Source: LUNC/USDT on Trading View
Luna Classic’s bull run at the start of 2023 was taken as a sign of better things to come for the LUNA spin-off. However, the opposite has been the case. The price rejection at the $0.0002063 resistance level in February ushered in a bearish swing that LUNC is yet to recover from.
Bears swept away multiple support levels with Luna Classic sinking to an all-time low of $0.00007583. A combination of low trading volume and profit-taking at every rally opportunity has kept LUNC firmly in the red.
The announcement of a proposed network upgrade prompted a 35% pump on 4 June. However, the rebound was brief as price was rejected at the $0.0001152 resistance level.
The on-chart indicators highlighted sellers’ dominance. The Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) has remained under neutral 50 for weeks on end. The sharp climb into the overbought zone on 4 June was quickly reversed, returning LUNC to familiar territory. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) maintained its decline and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) posted two bearish crossovers on 9 June and 15 June.
With price slowly moving toward the $0.00008115 support level, bears will be looking to extend their shorting gains with a session close under the support level. This could lead to further losses in the long term, as LUNC struggles to find a price bottom.
