The Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) price has dropped slightly in the past 24 hours, dipping by 0.5% to $0.00031545. Yet it remains up by 3% in a week and by 22% in a month, driven largely by Binance having completed a burn of all the trading fees it has collected from LUNC trading between September 21 and October 1.

Now, these indicators have reversed a little, portending a loss of momentum. Its RSI is down below 50, while its 30-day average looks as though it's in the process of
