The Terra Luna Classic price has jumped by over 5% in the past 24 hours, reaching $0.00016077 as the cryptocurrency market as a whole remains static over the same timeframe. Its current level marks a 0.5% drop in a week but a 23% gain in a fortnight, with the altcoin down by 7% in a month.

LUNC’s surge today has mostly been caused by the acceptance of a proposal to build a task force aimed at boosting its growth, although whales buying the altcoin after a dip is likely another factor. And with its community increasing its efforts to support the Terra Luna Classic ecosystem and reduce its supply, it could see further gains as 2023 unfolds.

Terra Luna Classic Price Prediction as LUNC Blasts Up 5.6% – Are Whales Buying?

LUNC’s chart shows that it’s enjoying a little breakout at the moment, with its relative strength index (purple) rising above 70 in recent hours. This indicates growing momentum, as does the fact that LUNC’s 30-day moving average (red) has overtaken its 200-day average (blue), forming a ‘golden cross’ that could signal further gains.

Based on its recent history, LUNC had been due a spurt, given that its RSI had fallen just below 30 as the market entered 2023. However, this same history has shown that, for every little rally, LUNC has fallen again quickly afterward, doing so quite regularly since September.

September was notable for the introduction of an on-chain tax burn, which at the time burnt 1.2% of all LUNC transacted. This created a bullish expectation that the coin’s supply would steadily decline over time, boosting its price.

Such optimism was reinforced by Binance’s announcement in early October that it was introducing its own burn of all LUNC trading fees. The thing is, initial expectations have since been dampened, partly by the fact that burns to date have scarcely dented LUNC’s 6.87 trillion supply, and partly by community wrangling over how to take things further.

For example, mid-October saw the approval of a proposal to lower the on-chain tax/burn to 0.2%, while also sending 10% of the taxed amount to a community pool for developers. The idea behind this was to boost development on the Terra Luna Classic network, yet by reducing the burn rate it dampened investor sentiment.

Despite the friction over how best to support Terra Luna Classic, progress continues to be made, with the past 24 hours seeing the acceptance of a proposal to set up a ‘task force’ charged with devising ways to push the network forwards.

The confirmation of this proposal is likely the main reason behind LUNC’s rally today. Of course, its community continues to expect bigger things from the altcoin, with many continuing to pin their hopes on a gradual climb toward $1.

Some members of the LUNC have proposed more realistic targets for 2023, with some looking at 100x (nearly 10,000%) by the of the year. This would bring the token to roughly $0.016077.

Some serious burning will need to take place this year even with this lower target. As of writing, the total amount of LUNC burned to date is 37 billion, or 0.5% of its total circulating supply.

New Altcoins with Gains in the Short Term

This means that investing in LUNC is very much a long-term game. So for those who’d prefer more immediate returns, it would be worth looking elsewhere, with presale ranking among the most lucrative areas of crypto in 2022.

To take two of the most notable examples, Lucky Block (LBLOCK) and Battle Infinity (IBAT) witnessed increases as high as 6,000% and 3000% earlier last year, compared to initial presale prices of $0.00015. Another impressive presale was Tamadoge’s (TAMA), with TAMA rising by as much as 1,800% after listing on OKX in October.

Of course, conditions need to be favorable for other presale coins to enjoy similar gains once they list. Yet the fact is that the three coins selected below all boast strong fundamentals, giving them every chance of having a good 2023.
