Terra (LUNA) – price action and analysis

It seems like a very long term ago when Terra (LUNA) was trading slightly above its $54 support. This was even after the coin had rallied nearly 25%. But that was merely a week ago, and it shows you just how fast things can change in crypto. 

Over the past few days, LUNA has been gaining upward momentum. But not even the most optimistic analysts saw the coin surging towards its all-time highs before the end of the year. It is indeed a Christmas surprise, and we expect this bullish upturn to hold for longer.

Should you buy Terra (LUNA)

Terra (LUNA) has always been a good investment based on its underlying fundamentals. The chain has seen explosive growth this year too. However, it is the growing interest in Layer-1 blockchains that makes LUNA such a promising project. 

In fact, the recent surge to all-time highs was inspired by the positive buzz around Layer-1 solutions. Although the chain faces competition from major players in this space like Solana (SOL), it still offers the promise of excellent returns in the long run. You should therefore consider buying it.
