been trading at over 99% less than its value had been but despite
this, the cryptocurrency continues to enjoy the support of both
small and large investors alike. Crypto Exchange KuCoin Stakes 47.9

Discount Almost 1 trillion LUNC tokens have now been taken out of
circulation through staking. This represents just under 15% of the
6.9 trillion circulating supply of the digital asset. At the time
of this writing, there are now over 200,000 delegators on the Terra
Classic network. KuCoin’s massive stake comes just two months after

Following the news of KuCoin’s 47.9 billion tokens stake, the price
of LUNC responded positively. The digital asset saw a small
increase but this would quickly change. On Wednesday, the price of
LUNC crashed to $0.00017. A small recovery would see it rise above
$0.00018 but this would only be short-lived as a crash in the early
hours of Thursday sent the token’s price spiraling once more.

In Its Tracks Presently, the price of the digital asset is seeing
significant resistance at $0.00019 which makes it the level to beat
if bulls are to maintain upward momentum. On the flip side, a dip
below $0.00016 will trigger a rapid decline for LUNC, putting it in
freewill to $0.00015. But as long as bulls are able to hold above
$0.0017, there is good momentum for the cryptocurrency. At the time
of writing, LUNC is changing hands at a price of $0.000175. It is
down 3.97% in the last 24 hours but is seeing slight gains of 1.99%
on the 7-day chart. LUNC price sitting above $0.00017 | Source:
