Since a lot of people have been asking me about $LUNA updates lately, I decided to dedicate the whole update to this special project!
In terms of the prices, we are still consolidating in what looks like a giant ascending triangle. We have now been consolidating for more than 2 months and will likely be breaking out in the coming days/weeks as pointed out by @KongBTC
The ascending triangles are a bullish formation that anticipates an upside breakout. The longer the consolidation, the bigger the pump😉 $LUNA
In terms of fundamentals, not much has changed. We are still burning $LUNA almost every day as the demand for $UST stablecoin is picking up📈
We can see this also by simply looking at the $UST market cap on CMC. As you can see, the market cap is slowly but surely going up!💪 $LUNA
In late October, the wormhole bridge and IBC integration went live meaning that $UST started to enter other blockchains. The effect was not as big as most people expected but it is becoming clear that this could drive the next wave of UST adoption.. Good things simply take time⌛️
Looking at the Wormhole token bridge contract, we can see that over 100 million $UST was already bridged. I would say that this is quite a good start considering the fact that it went live less than 2 weeks ago!
The @Saber_HQ protocol, which is the biggest protocol on Solana in terms of TVL (Total Value Locked), managed to attract 12 million $UST into their main liquidity pool. Also not bad I would say👌 $LUNA
@osmosiszone, which is a Cosmos-based DEX started with their pools a little bit later and so far managed to lock roughly 7 million $UST into their liquidity pools. Not much but I think we should give it more time!⏳
There is also voting taking place for the $LUNA incentive on @osmosiszone. If this passes, which it obviously will, we should see the numbers go up!😉
Apart from other chains, centralized exchanges started to adopt $UST. So far this didn't have big effect on $UST demand but could be big if they start to list more trading pairs and the regulatory pressure on centralized stablecoins continues to pick up🌖
The next important catalyst could also be the burning of a community pool with almost 100 million $LUNA tokens. This will bring insurance protocol Ozone to life and increase staking rewards... Bullish🔥
@orion_money, which was mainly responsible for the start of a previous rally and increased demand for $UST, will soon be integrated with @BLOCKBANKapp 💪 Over 50k Blockbank users will soon have access to high yield savings powered by $UST 🔥
New protocols are expected to go live by the end of the year. While it is hard to give a realistic timeline, I think protocols like Mars, Astroport, and Prism will have a big impact on the Terra ecosystem and $LUNA price. All of them will bring exciting things to DeFi💪
Last but not least, MIM-UST money printing machine is already being tested. Hard to say when we will see it live but once we do, the $LUNA pump will be epic. I expect this to have a huge impact on the price so fingers crossed it soon goes live🤑
If you missed my posts regarding this money printing beast, you can check out this video by @danku_r 💪 $LUNA
There are so many exciting things on the horizon that I could keep going but let’s stop it here as I do not want this thread to be too long. The conclusion is that I remain extremely bullish about $LUNA and still think it will be one of the best-performing assets of this year!🚀
P.S. This is simply my opinion and not financial advice, always do your own research before investing!

Yesterday’s #PPI was a wake-up call for the bulls as wholesale prices rose by 0,7% in January. The numbers came out hotter than expected and the odds of a 50bps hike at the next #FOMC meeting jumped much higher👀
Now some analysts are already predicting that the FED funds rate will move above 6% or even 7%. Isn’t this something Diversitas was saying months ago?😉 #Macro
What about crypto? In the morning, everyone was calling for 30k #BTC 🚀 The FOMO in the market was real and we decided to completely exit, got hate for it but guess what, $BTC dumped just a few hours later📉
What is @Injective_ and why soon everyone will talk about it?👀
A thread🧵👇 $INJ
Injective Protocol is a decentralized, layer-2 platform built on #Ethereum that enables the creation of fast, low-cost, and highly scalable decentralized exchanges (DEXs), as well as other financial #dApps 👀
@Injective_ is also the first blockchain to offer auto-executing smart contracts, which empower faster, more innovative, and groundbreaking applications🚀
@astroport_fi is a #DEX build on #Terra🌖 It got extremely popular in its early days and was the main DEX during the collapse of $LUNA and $UST 📉 This is also when it proved itself as a DEX that can easily handle billions of trading volume💪
After the collapse of $LUNA and $UST, the team developed a new vision and continued to build👌 Before we cover their plans, let's first take a look at their team👀
Yesterday, we got a lot of important economic data and ever since the release, many analysts are wondering what happened. The data we good was far from expectations and is signaling that the #economy is very strong🤔
According to the reported data, #unemployment dropped to 3,4%, the lowest since 1969. Meanwhile, big corporations continue to lay off thousands of employees😂
Recent layoffs:
Amazon: 18,000
Google: 12,000
Sales Force: 8,000
IBM: 3,900
Goldman Sachs: 3,200
SAP: 2,800
3M: 2,500
Pay Pal: 2,000
Wayfair 1,750
Kraken: 1,200
Coinbase: 950
Spotify: 600
Hubspot: 500
And those are just some that we can think of😉 #layoffs2023
Yesterday, we saw a rally in the #stockmarket and this was expected. What was surprising is the fact that the #crypto market did not follow the move until major tech companies reported disappointing earnings results and we saw a drop📉
Yesterday proved to us that the market is becoming totally irrational. Bed Bath & Beyond failed to make interest payments on its bonds just weeks after the company warned it was considering filing for bankruptcy, yet the stock is surging higher🤦♂️ #BBBY
Same story when it comes to #EUR, just not so extreme📉🤦♂️
Meanwhile, #Bitcoin is holding quite well. We will need to wait for the stock market open to see how things play out before celebrating tho👀 In our view, a short-term bounce is likely and then we will be most probably making new lows📉
