Luna Classic (LUNC) bears remain in control.
The cryptocurrency, which powers the now largely defunct original Terra blockchain that experienced catastrophe back in May 2021 was last changing hands close to $0.00012, only slightly above the $0.0001170 lows it hit earlier this month.
Price predictions thus remain downbeat.

After all, Bitcoin, deemed as the largest, most secure and most decentralized cryptocurrency network that, at the moment, stands the best chance of fulfilling its goal of becoming a widely used currency/store-of-value, led the rally in March.
Even despite its 7.5% pullback from earlier monthly highs to the low-$27,000s, Bitcoin is still up around 17.5% on the month.

The original Terra blockchain saw an exodus of nearly all of its development community following the hyperinflation event of 2022 and most analysts deem the outlook for the blockchain’s ecosystem as poor.
Unfortunately for the LUNC bulls, recent price action is suggestive
