Terra Luna Classic trading volume slumps as new CEO steps in

Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) price is down 6% over the last month with a declining investor hype, as indicated by the 20% drop in LUNC trading volume over the last 24 hours. The pessimism comes from former CEO Do Kwon receiving his sentence in Montenegro to serve a four-month jail term in southeastern Europe. The minuscule sentencing has disappointed LUNC community members as it points to crypto-bad actors having it easy in the legal system.

Meanwhile, Terraform Labs has promoted former COO and CFO Chris Amani as Director and interim CEO, marking another concern for LUNC community members who anticipated a clean slate.

Even so, Amani boasts a strong professional tenure, having served as CEO of business software startup Humanity. He joined Terraform Labs in December 2021 and has since committed to developing applications with real utility. The firm now has a lean team of 40 staff in its employee registry, 15 of whom are diehards, having stuck with the firm since before the May 2022 crisis.

Do Kwon had relinquished his CEO role in March before his arrest in Montenegro's Podgorica Airport, citing the need to focus on legal matters. In case you missed it, he was headed to Dubai, but falsified travel documents brought him to the authority's radar, causing his arrest after months of pursuit.

While both the US and South Korea have called for Kwon's repatriation so that he is arraigned in these countries, Montenegro has not complied, given that the country lacks a direct extradition treaty with either.

Do Kwon, who faces many charges ranging from tax fraud and investor deception to racketeering and forgery, still owns up to 92% of shares at Terraform Labs. Despite the tense legal battle facing the crypto billionaire, the firm has committed to reinventing itself.

Terra Luna Classic price forecast as interim CEO takes the wheel

Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) price is testing the crucial support confluence offered by the ascending trendline and the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.629. This exposes LUNC to the risk of an extended slump if the support breaks.

Two momentum indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Awesome Oscillator (AO), support the downside. For one, the RSI is tipping south to show falling momentum, while the AO is in the negative zone to establish a bearish foothold of Terra Luna Classic price.

A decisive break below the lower boundary could see Terra Luna Classic price break below the 100- and 200-day EMA at $0.612 and $0.621, respectively, to pivot at the $0.604 buyer congestion zone, levels last tested around mid-July.

Conversely, if buying pressure increases, Terra Luna Classic price could sustain above the ascending trendline to tag the $0.655 resistance level. A decisive flip of this supplier congestion zone into support would increase the odds of a continued uptrend.

However, the bullish thesis would be confirmed upon a strong 4-hour close above the psychological $0.682 level.
