Terraform Labs CEO on Advantages of TerraUSD ($UST) Over CentralIn a recent interview, Do Kwon, Co-founder and CEO of Terraform Labs — as well as a director at Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) — talked about the limitations of centralized fiat-backed stablecoins.
Kwon’s comments were made during an interview with Kate Rooney, a technology reporter for CNBC.
According to a report by The Daily Hodl, Kwon said:
“I don’t think that there’s anything wrong, per se, with backing stablecoins in terms of dollars. It’s just that there are some limits to the things that you can do with the use cases of the so-called centralized stablecoins.
“The issue is that if you’re keeping a dollar in the bank account for every unit of stablecoin that’s issued, that stablecoin now has an issuer and an operator. What that means is that you have all the attendant compliance and custodian risks of having an operator and an issuer because, for instance, what happens if the company for some reason goes bankrupt? In that case, everybody that built interesting things on top of that stablecoin is now held hostage to the bankruptcy court…
“Or given that bank deposits are so easy to regulate, I think one of the things that we’ll start to see with centralized stablecoins is that there’s going to be massive compliance creep, which means that over time, you’re going to start to layer on things like KYC requirements and sort of vetting what types of applications can use a stablecoin, which isn’t necessarily appropriate for all use cases.“
Kwon believes that a decentralized stablecoin, such as TerraUSD ($USD), which is not backed by fiat reserves, does not suffer from the aforementioned limitations:
“A decentralized stablecoin, as something that is backed in native cryptocurrency like LUNA or Bitcoin, has the property that there is no issuer, there is no operator because anybody in the world can trade in a dollar’s worth of Bitcoin, can trade in a dollar’s worth of LUNA to issue one TerraUSD. This has the nice property that it makes decentralized finance truly decentralized.“

Waiting for Better Long EntryLUNA is currently flirting with the 100 EMA vs BTC. Shorter-term Bullish traders may have an opportunity for a quick flip as LUNA could certainly hold here and continue it's bullish run. However, buying here doesn't feel like the higher-probability play. I'm more interested in waiting for price to come down closer to the 200 EMA. I'm also waiting for my indicator to show that we are in a solid buy zone.
Good Luck

Price is still defending $80 as the selling pressure mounts; the next support (minor) is at $78.

ADX is trending up slightly at 28 as Price continues to fall, this is bearish. If Price is able to defend $80, then the next likely target is a retest of $84.05 resistance.

LUNA Trading zonesIf you are a LUNA Trader and looking for long zones..
Note this is a HVA requires small size. For this reason, if you are going to invest based on core fundamentals, then the TECH zone noted much lower is for you... but nonetheless, Price action methods and TECH analysis remains the same regardless of what we are Trading.
BTC/ETH and those alike are much safer to trade, so if you have a preference it is better to pick those.. There are those however who want to trade LUNA and it is OK to do so if you are trading safely and accurately..
It is on these assets you must concur about the fundamental side in your own process. Trade HVA's small in doing so.
LUNA/USD Daily TA Cautiously BearishLUNA/USD Daily cautiously bearish. Recommended ratio: 25% LUNA, 75% cash. Price is currently defending $80 as it trends lower toward a formal retest of $78 minor support. Volume remains very low and has been shrinking since 04/11/22, indicating that a breakout/breakdown is likely pending; it has favored sellers for two consecutive sessions now. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $102.60 minor resistance. RSI is beginning to trend down at 38 and is currently showing signs of breaking down below the descending trendline from August 2021 (this would increase the likelihood of RSI retesting the uptrend line from November 2019 at 30 significantly). Stochastic is currently crossing over bearish at 5.54 and if it were to continue, then a retest of max bottom for the first time since 01/29/22 would likely follow. MACD remains bearish and is currently barely breaking down below -2.43 with no real signs of trough formation. ADX is beginning to trend up at 28 as Price continues to fall, this is bearish. If Price is able to bounce here, then it will likely retest $84.05 resistance before deciding it's next move. However, if Price continues to fall, then a retest of $78.04 minor support and potentially lower at $70.15 is likely. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes) above $84.05.
LUNAUSD Update for the next 3 months. Target $160.00.My last Terra (LUNAUSD) analysis was in late February where I set a medium-term target of $130.00:
Even though the price "only" managed to scratch the $120 mark, that was good enough for those who bought into the rally and naturally the price dropped on heavy profit taking.
As you see the fractal comparison with the early 2021 Cycle played out fairly well. From September to November 2021, the fractal extended its rise through a steadier and more structured Channel Up formation. That pattern in a little more than 3 months reached the 1.5 Fibonacci extension.
That extension is currently a little above $160.00 and that is our target by mid Summer.

LUNA/USD Daily TA Cautiously BearishLUNA/USD Daily cautiously bearish. Recommended ratio: 30% LUNA, 70% cash. Price formed a bearish engulfing candle that took it back down below $84.05 support earlier today (in yesterday's session) and is currently trending down at $81; the next support is at $78. Volume remains very low and broke the two-day streak of buying earlier today (yesterday's session) and is on track for two consecutive selling days if it closes today in the red. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $102.60 minor resistance. RSI is currently trending sideways at 39 and is technically still testing the descending trendline from August 2021 as support. Stochastic is currently on the verge of regressing to a bearish crossover at 7.50 (a fall below 7 would accomplish this). MACD remains bearish and is currently testing -2.43 minor support with no signs of trough formation; this is bearish. ADX is currently beginning to trend up slightly at 30 as Price faces more downward pressure, this is bearish. If Price is able to recapture $84.05 support, then the next likely target is a retest of $92.78 minor resistance. However, if Price continues to fall from here (or is rejected at $84.05 resistance) then it will likely retest $78.04 minor support before potentially testing $70.15 support. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $89.52.
LUNA/USD Daily TA Neutral BearishLUNA/USD Daily neutral with a bearish bias. Recommended ratio: 45% LUNA, 55% cash. Price continues the bounce upward from $84.05 support in a bid to establish it as a major support; it is simultaneously forming a bear flag in doing so (something to monitor). Volume remains very low and is on track to favor buyers in two consecutive sessions if it closes today in the green. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $108. RSI continues to test the descending trendline from August 2021 as support and is currently trending up at 43 (just above the trendline). Stochastic is attempting to establish a bottom at 3.56 and is currently forming a bullish crossover at 7.50; the next resistance is at 21.78. MACD remains bearish and testing -0.12 support; it is currently trending down at -0.60 with a slight angle toward a trough formation starting to be made. ADX is trending sideways at 28 as Price is attempting to establish a key support at $84.05, this is neutral at the moment. If Price is able to continue trending up, the next likely target is a retest of the 50 MA at $92.78 minor resistance. However, if the bear flag plays out, Price will likely breakdown below $84.05 and retest $78.04 minor support before potentially falling lower. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $92.56.
Terra: Into the Pool 🏊Terra has let go of the orange zone between $140.82 and $118.55 to drop down. Now, it is about to dive into the blue pool between $83.07 and $62.20, where we expect it to do some laps and to complete wave (ii) in blue. Afterwards, Terra should feel chipper and refreshed enough to start climbing upwards. To realize this, though, Terra should not sink below the support at $46.56.
LUNA/USD Daily TA Neutral BearishLUNA/USD Daily neutral with a bearish bias. Recommended ratio: 40% LUNA, 60% cash. Price is currently testing $84.05 support for the third consecutive day and is beginning to form a bearish flag as it attempts to establish support. Volume remains very low and broke the two day streak of selling yesterday with Price attempting to bounce here; a green close would strengthen the case for temporary support at $84.05. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $108. RSI is currently testing the descending trendline from August 2021 at 42 as support. Stochastic is currently crossing over bullish at 4. MACD remains bearish and is showing no signs of trough formation as tests 0 support. ADX is beginning to trend up at 28 as Price is attempting to find support, this is mildly bullish. If Price is able to establish support at $84.05, the next likely target is a retest of the 50 MA at $92.78 minor resistance. However, if Price breaks down here, it will likely formally retest $78 minor support before potentially heading lower. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $92.56.
LUNA/USD Weekly TA Neutral BearishLUNA/USD Weekly neutral with a bearish bias. Recommended ratio: 35% LUNA, 65%% cash. Price is currently testing $87.51 minor support (breaking down below at $85). Volume remains very low and will make it two consecutive weeks of selling if it closes in the red this week. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $51, this leaves a lot of room for Price to fall and still not flip the SAR bearish . RSI is currently testing the uptrend line from November 2019 at 56. Stochastic is currently in the process of crossing over bearish at 58, just below 66.26 resistance. MACD remains bullish and is trending down at 13 after forming a peak at 14.09 minor resistance; if it crosses below 12 it would be a bearish crossover. ADX is trending sideways at 41 as Price is falling, this is neutral. If Price is able to establish support at $87.51, the next likely target is a test of $98-$105 before reassessment. However, if Price continues to break down here, it will likely retest $74.60. One condition to pay attention to is Price and its relationship with both the Daily and Weekly MACD , if Price were to break below $78 on the Daily, MACD would likely lose -0.12 support and test -2.43 minor support; if this were to happen it would likely plunge the weekly MACD from 13 to 12, causing a bearish crossover; this would potentially take Price down to between $57.15 and $74.60 in the short to medium term. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $100.

LUNA has corrected down a lot from the $120 zone to the $80 zone, which is also the 0.5 Fib level of the uptrend from February to now. So we can buy LUNA at this $80 zone and expect a rally to $110 or even $140. However, it can still fall one more time to the $70 zone to test the MA200 line.

*Occasional fundamental analysis on my Twatter*
Terra Price Analysis — April 11LUNA has slumped to the $86 support zone, following a parabolic bear rally since the cryptocurrency tapped an all-time high at $119.5 last Tuesday. The ninth-largest cryptocurrency has shed over 28% within this short period as the broader market tone dives.
Market conditions for LUNA flipped bearish last Friday after the price breached the 4-hour 100 EMA around $103 with $80 coming into view. That said, we could record a pullback in the coming hours to the $92 zone, where bears can pile in and force the price lower to $80.
Meanwhile, my resistance levels are $90.00, $96.00, and $100.00, and my support levels are $86.00, $80.00, and $76.00.
Total Market Capitalization: $1.89 trillion
Terra Market Capitalization: $30.4 billion
Terra Dominance: 1.6%
Market Rank: #9
LUNAUSDT Broke Supports - UpdateAs we said before, it lost the dynamic support range of the channel and is losing static support, which is strengthened by the pullback. We expect support up to $ 80 and then $ 72. I emphasize the fall becomes stronger when the pullback is completed.
