Key Insights:
-
LUNC trades near the 0.382 Fibonacci pivot as volatility compresses and traders watch $0.0386 for confirmation of momentum recovery.
-
Open interest declined to $9.26 million from December highs above $30 million, signaling reduced leveraged exposure and calmer derivatives positioning.
-
Spot flows show modest inflows since January, reflecting selective accumulation while price remains locked inside a corrective four-hour structure.
Terra Classic trades near $0.0000365 as price action tightens around a decisive Fibonacci pivot. The token rotates close to the 0.382 retracement level near $0.0000366, which now defines short term direction. Consequently, traders focus on this narrow range for signals of either continuation or recovery.
Price continues to print lower highs after peaking near $0.0000473 in January. That peak aligned with the 1.0 Fibonacci level and marked the recent structural top. Moreover, price slipped below the 0.5 retracement at $0.0000386, reinforcing near term bearish pressure.
Volatility Narrows Below Ichimoku Cloud
LUNC now trades just beneath the Ichimoku cloud on the four hour chart. Volatility has tightened, and candles show reduced expansion compared with earlier swings. However, this compression reflects balance between buyers and sellers rather than aggressive liquidation.
The Average Directional Index hovers near 26.5. That reading shows trend strength building gradually. Additionally, it does not yet signal extreme momentum in either direction.
Open interest has declined sharply from late year peaks. In November and December, positioning exceeded $30 million as leveraged participation surged. Significantly, current open interest stands near $9.26 million, which signals reduced speculative exposure.

Traders appear cautious as leverage unwinds. Consequently, derivatives markets no longer amplify short term volatility the way they did during prior rallies.
Spot Flows Reflect Controlled Accumulation
Spot flow data adds further context to price stability. From April through September, inflows and outflows remained balanced, matching range bound trading. However, heavier outflows emerged in October and November and aligned with price weakness.
Early December recorded sharp inflows followed by quick exits. Since January, modest net inflows have returned, which suggests selective accumulation rather than aggressive breakout demand.
Immediate resistance stands at $0.0000386. A sustained move above that level would open space toward $0.0000407 and potentially $0.0000436. On the downside, support rests between $0.0000343 and $0.0000339. Below that band, $0.0000300 and the structural floor at $0.0000299 define broader support.

When will Bitcoin rebound? Historical data reveals key prices and potential buying opportunities
February 24 News, Bitcoin has recently been on a continuous decline, sparking market attention on the recovery timing. According to Glassnode data, the 90-day realized profit and loss ratio has fallen below 1 for the first time since 2022, indicating that the market has entered an oversold phase. Historical experience shows that this state typically lasts about six months, suggesting that Bitcoin may remain at low levels until the end of the third quarter of this year.
The realized profit and loss ratio reflects the proportion of profits and losses in on-chain transactions. When the ratio is below 1, losses dominate, and investors are mostly capitulating. Past bear market cycles—2015, 2018, and 2022—have all shown this pattern. During these lows, market panic is common, but it also presents potential buying opportunities.

Will Bitcoin drop to $50,000? Strategy adds $40 million, Citrini AI report triggers market turbulence
February 24 News, Strategy announced an additional $40 million investment in Bitcoin, despite the current market being somewhat pessimistic about Bitcoin price forecasts. The company currently holds Bitcoin worth $55 billion, with an average cost of approximately $76,020. At Bitcoin's current price of $63,000, unrealized losses amount to nearly $10 billion. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that the company employs a dollar-cost averaging strategy and is not concerned about short-term price fluctuations.
Recently, Bitcoin has been affected by geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties triggered by developments in artificial intelligence, and policy changes by the Trump administration, leading to consecutive price declines. Matt Howells-Barby, Vice President of Growth at CEX, pointed out that Bitcoin could potentially drop to $50,000 in the short term. Data from DefiLlama shows that investors sold over $1 billion worth of Bitcoin ETFs in February, bringing the total ETF decline since November last year to $7 billion. Data from CF Benchmark indicates that major hedge funds reduced their Bitcoin ETF holdings by 28% between the third and fourth quarters.

After WLFI's price drops below $1, selling pressure increases. Can a $35 million whale buy order trigger a rebound?
On February 24, it was reported that World Liberty Financial (WLFI) dropped about 8% in the past 24 hours, weakening after falling below the $1 key level. Previously, WLFI was forming a bullish cup-and-handle pattern, but recent price fluctuations have been mainly influenced by leverage liquidations rather than long-term investors selling off.
On-chain data shows that WLFI's largest holder wallet has increased its holdings from 8.23 billion tokens to 8.56 billion tokens since February 19, adding approximately 330 million tokens, equivalent to about $35 million. This indicates that whales have actively entered during the price decline, reflecting confidence in a future recovery. Meanwhile, exchange inflows have decreased from 128 million tokens to just 8.9 million tokens, a nearly 93% drop, showing reduced retail selling pressure.
