The overall crypto market value plunged by 4%, plummeting under the $2.5 trillion level than the previous day. On the other hand, the crypto market volume increased by 65% to $187.64 billion.
The world’s largest crypto has lost more than 10% in the past seven days, sliding under the psychological level at $60,000. That catalyzed plummets across the altcoin market. Meanwhile, CoinDCX Team stated that US regulators show increased interest in adding crypto into traditional capital markets. It also added that positive developments and institutional support would heighten demand and traction for the cryptocurrency space.
On the other side, the total non-fungible token has dropped over the past three weeks. As most NFT collections secure support, market players might see the market consolidating in the coming few weeks. Itsblockchain.com founder Hitesh Malviya said that recovery would also follow soon.

Technical View
Terra is a stablecoin-supported Layer1 network that addresses challenges facing conventional blockchains – speed and scalability. Dubbing itself as programmable internet money, it allows yield generation, low fees, and instant settlements.
Terra’s native asset LUNA has enjoyed an impressive bullish run, surging to $22 from $0.12 in less than one year before May 2021 cryptocurrency market crash. The crypto gained an ATH of more than $50 from July to October.
For now, LUNA has its value at $40. The alt seems ready to rise to another ATH near $52. However, the crypto has to overpower multiple MAs in the $41 to $42 range for upward progress.
