LUNA-USDT(Long Term Analysis)LUNA is the reserve currency of the Terra platform. The Terra protocol is a Proof of Stake (PoS) based blockchain wherein the miners are required to stake their Luna tokens to mine transactions. As the probability of a validator being able to mine the next Terra block is directly proportional to the staked Luna tokens, Luna holds key importance in the Terra ecosystem.
As of December 2020, the Terra network has transacted an estimated $299 billion for over 2 million users. This is a major milestone being achieved by the Terra blockchain achieved in a short span of time. On a year-to-date basis, it has yielded magnificent returns of ~32x which validates the stats about the wide-scale adoption by the payment network.
On the Daily Time Frame, LUNA after marking its All-Time-High of $22.4 as of March 21, 2021, has been retracing and is currently placed at 0.786 retracement level. Currently, LUNA is trading in an Ascending Triangle, the resistance is placed at $7.6 while the support has been trending higher and is currently placed at $5.5.
At the current levels, LUNA is placed near its 20 EMA. As LUNA has been consolidating in a narrow range since May 23, 2021, the breakout from the Ascending Triangle may fuel the prices higher.
The immediate resistance is placed at $7.6, a breakout from the level may witness the prices moving towards the levels of $9 followed by $12 (resistance level of the trendline). The support to the lower side is present at $5.5 followed by $4.25.
With the crypto ecosystem gaining back its lost momentum with El Salvador adopting Bitcoin as its Legal currency, it seems that the correction in the markets might halt and the markets may again start to move towards its new highs. Thus, Luna being fundamentally a good project might initiate its impulsive move fueled by the overall market sentiments.
