Price Fluctuations and Market Reactions
The price of LUNA experienced a dizzying surge, shooting up by nearly 90% overnight to reach an intraday high of approximately $11.33, only to later retreat to around $8.26. According to CoinGecko, this drop still reflects a remarkable 35% increase within a 24-hour window, despite an overall stomach-churning dive of 56% since its launch at a hefty $18.87 on the weekend.
Trader Testimonials
Members of the crypto community took to social media to celebrate their lucky timing, with some sharing screenshots of the peak prices observed on various exchanges, notably MEXC Global. One Twitter user, known as Bull_bnb, highlighted the rapid price surge, exclaiming, “In 30 minutes, you apes pumped it $2 more. I’m loving it!” It seems that for some, the thrill of trading outweighs the associated risks (at least, for now).
Binance’s Airdrop Anticipation
As excitement swells around LUNA’s price movements, Binance is gearing up for a significant multi-year airdrop campaign set to commence at 6:00 am UTC. However, analysts are already speculating that the price may plummet post-airdrop. Wouldn’t it just be the bitter cherry on top of a speculative sundae?
Community Concerns
While some traders are riding high on the latest surge, others are discontent with previous airdrop experiences. A fellow trader lamented losing $50k on LUNA only to receive a meager $112 as an airdrop. They quipped, “That small airdrop is like extra needle salt in the wound!” A sentiment many can relate to when the adrenaline rush meets the reality of market volatility.

Twitter account has also faced the music, admitting to ongoing issues with the airdrop distribution. They assured users, “We are actively working on a solution. More information will be provided when we have gathered all of the data, so stay tuned.” It’s clear that the development team has the community’s back, even if their timing is, let’s say, a bit inconsistent.
