Did the Luna family have a collective resurrection today? The leader, LUNC, surged by 50% directly, taking its little brother USTC along for an 18% gain.

But look at LUNA2—just as it started to climb, it got smashed back down to its original state. What does this tell us?

The market only buys into the old Luna’s deflation and burn narrative. New Luna? Sorry, no one wants this “rebranded” thing at all.

The situation is clear: the leader is sucking up the liquidity, while the followers are getting beaten down.

If you want to jump in, keep your eyes on LUNC, the big boss. As for LUNA2, which is just there to make up the numbers? Touch it and you’re just someone else’s exit liquidity.

To be honest—

When you see a sector-wide frenzy like this, nine times out of ten it’s a one-day wonder. Once LUNC loses steam, the whole family will cool off together. The hype comes fast and goes even faster—don’t let short-term pumps cloud your judgment.

If you chase at the top, you’re basically just handing your money to the whales.

LUNA-0.13%

LUNC-2.7%

USTC-1.21%

A 50% increase really can't be sustained anymore. This move by LUNC is indeed fierce, but LUNA2... it's obvious they're just here to play a supporting role.

50% direct takeoff, is this really different this time? I'm skeptical. Luna2 being instantly knocked back to its original form is hilarious, still hoping to catch some gains. How long can this round of LUNC last? It feels like a one-day trip with a high probability of collapse. I've seen too many of these collective revolts; those who buy in at high levels usually end up losing. The headdog's bloodsucking tactics never change, and those following the trend are always cannon fodder.

I see this move in LUNC as just a pump-and-dump, a one-day trip—don't get your hopes up. Wait, was LUNA2 crushed through? Ha, serves you right, who asked you to try again. A 50% increase sounds great, but those who bought high are probably already trapped. I just watch and laugh. The leading coin being sacrificed by its little followers—I'm tired of this script. Damn, are there really people chasing LUNC at high levels? Bro, you're just helping the whales. USTC riding the wave for an 18% gain? Don’t be silly, next is the big slide. This sector resonance thing, it fades in three or five days. Don’t be fooled by short-term hype.

*checks charts from 2017-2018* ah yes, the classic "one token pumps, clones get liquidated" cycle. we've literally seen this exact playbook during altseason... LUNA2 getting dumped while LUNC runs? textbook dead cat bounce dynamics. those chasing LUNA2 rn are basically reliving 2017 bagholding patterns lmao

LUNC is indeed fierce this time, but I still think this is just the whales shaking out weak hands. Don’t be fooled by that 50%. LUNA2 getting dumped so hard says it all—the market has no confidence at all. This kind of rotation always ends up with a pile of losers.
