This news looked quite positive for LUNC investors as it was aimed at slowly reducing the total supply. Well, with an attempt to increase the token’s price in the long run.
However, as of this writing, these developments were not reflected on LUNC’s chart. According to CoinMarketCap’s data, LUNC was down by more than 10% in the last week.
At press time, it was trading at $0.0002511 with a market capitalization of $1,656,965,101. Nonetheless, a look at LUNC’s on-chain metrics gave some hope as they supported the possibility of a price surge.
Some relief
After registering a decline, LUNC’s volume went up slightly in the last few days which is a positive signal for a blockchain.

Moreover, LUNC’s development activities went up considerably last week. Thus, giving investors hope for better days to come ahead. In fact, its social dominance and positive sentiment metrics also marked a spike, which is yet another green signal for the network.

However, troubles might lie ahead
Despite the on-chain metrics being in favor of the coin, a look at LUNC’s daily chart revealed a different story. The Exponential Moving Average (EMA) Ribbon suggested that the bulls’ advantage in the market might soon end as the 55-day EMA was approaching the 20-day EMA rapidly.
Not only this, but LUNC’s Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) was also way below the neutral position, further increasing the chances of a price drop in the coming days.
On the other hand, the MACD revealed an ongoing battle between the bulls and the bears. Considering the indicators mentioned above, it seems that the bears were likely to win.
