Terra Luna Classic Price Prediction As LUNC Pumps 5% in 7 Days - Here's Why The Altcoin Is Outperforming
Terra Luna Classic (LUNC), the cryptocurrency that powers the original Terra blockchain that faced disaster last May, has been outperforming the broader cryptocurrency market in the last seven days, rising more than 5.0% during this time.

An eventual retest of the all-time lows hit last June in the $0.00003s remains a distinct possibility, despite the best efforts of the Terra Classic community to boost the cryptocurrency’s value proposition.
A near-term spike to the $0.00007/8 area is possible, but many
