Terra Classic (LUNC) Is The Memecoin Of Current Cycle?

The current LUNC rally reminds of the bull run witnessed last year, when memecoins rose to prominence. To a large extent, the memecoin space was dominated by $DOGE and $SHIB. An interesting observation from Santiment Insights points to the similarity between last year’s memecoin rally and the current LUNC rally. After all, it is not very often that popular cryptocurrencies witness such a massive pump in short time. The ‘spectacular rise’ in recent times is followed by an even more spectacular downfall earlier this year.

“In the past the meme king crown belonged to $DOGE, $SHIB, $SAFEMOON and others. But today there is no doubt that the name of the game is $LUNC.”

The Insights find similarities in LUNC current rally with the DOGE rally seen in the last bull market cycle. This is based on observation in the price and volume patterns of both the cryptocurrencies. “Both had an initial run-up, followed by a flat consolidation, after which the real craze began.” Meanwhile, Dogecoin (DOGE) price had a downward trend over the last one month, in contrast to LUNC price movement. As of writing, DOGE price stands at $0.06245, up 2.30% in the last 24 hours.
