4. Technical Analysis on Terra
VWAP is a technical indicator used by a trader to gauge the overall trend of an asset price movement. VWAP line (orange line) represents the volume-weighted average price (average price here is defined as the average of high, low and close prices) while close price line (blue line) represents the price when LUNA is closed at the end of every single day.
Whenever blue line (close price) is above orange line (VWAP), it indicates that the asset is gaining momentum and being traded higher than its average price level. This would represent a 'buy' opportunity for short-term momentum trader whom task is to trade following the trend while a longer term mean-revision trader might take it as a 'sell' opportunity, anticipating that the price of LUNA (blue line) to fall to its average level (orange line).
Whenever blue line (close price) is below orange line (VWAP), it indicates that the asset is losing momentum and being traded lower than its average price level. This would represent a 'sell' opportunity for short-term momentum trader whom task is to trade following the trend while a longer term mean-revision trader might take it as a 'buy' opportunity, anticipating that the price of LUNA (blue line) to rise to its average level (orange line).
As of 28 Jan 2022, VWAP is suggesting that LUNA is losing momentum at a rapid pace and is now trading way below its week-long and month-long volume weighted averages.
MACD (12, 26) is computed by subtracting the 26-day exponential moving average (EMA) of LUNA closing price from its 12-day EMA.
As MACD (12, 26) goes higher away from Signal (9), it signifies that LUNA is gaining momentum and whenever it goes trends at a lower level than Signal (9),it signifies that LUNA is losing momentum.
As of 28 Jan 2022, MACD is suggesting that LUNA is in a very bearish position and has been losing value fast.
- SMA (20) (blue line), which is the 20-day simple moving average price of LUNA
- Upper Band (orange line), which is computed by adding 2 standard deviations of LUNA on SMA (20)
- Lower Band (red line) , which is computed by subtracting 2 standard deviations of LUNA from SMA (20)
- Close (green line), which is the daily closing price of LUNA
Whenever close line (green) touches the lower band (red), it indicates that LUNA is corrected too much and is being traded at an undervalued level, representing a 'buy' opportunity. On the other hand, whenever close line (green) touches the upper band (orange), it indicates that LUNA is gaining too much momentum and is being traded at an overvalued level, thus indicating a 'sell' opportunity.
As of 28 Jan 2022, Bollinger Band is suggesting that LUNA has been heavily oversold and is now threading around its support zone.
Just like Bollinger Band, Relative Strength Index is often being used by mean-reversion trader as a gauge to assess how undervalued or overvalued an asset is. There are 2 psychological levels, i.e. 30 and 70 in RSI. Whenever the RSI reaches 30, it indicates that LUNA is corrected too much and is being traded at an undervalued level, representing a 'buy' opportunity. On the other hand, whenever RSI reaches 70, it indicates that LUNA is gaining too much momentum and is being traded at an overvalued level, thus indicating a 'sell' opportunity.
As of 28 Jan 2022, RSI is suggesting that LUNA was oversold in the 14-day moving average window.
4.5. Volume and Price Analysis
A large volume of LUNA has been sold over the last 9 days, depressing LUNA's price significantly. LUNA's daily active trading volume during normal days would usually be lower than we have seen in the past week. This could mean that a lot of LUNA HODLers are selling LUNA as the market turned against them in the midst of Wonderland saga.
Based on the technical analysis presented above, quantdoge is neutral on LUNA, but I could be wrong, hence please make your careful due diligence before making any financial decision.
5. Terra Risk Profile
Based on the 100-day 95% historical Value-at-Risk (VaR) profile of Terra defined above, LUNA seems to trade at a greater risk level on 28 Jan 2022 as compared to 10 days before on 18 Jan 2022, with its biggest pullback being seen at -17.18% on a single day during the last 100 days. However, I could be wrong, hence please make your careful due diligence before making any financial decision.
The probability distribution chart of LUNA's daily return is shifting left (i.e. having greater probability of losing more than 20%), indicating that the downside risk of LUNA remains and becoming more influential at this volatile period.

There are more traders taking long position on LUNAUSDT futures as compared to the shorters, and the ratio of long accounts against short accounts is increasing as LUNA continues to dip. However, please take note that this is simply just a comparison of accounts that hold a long position on LUNAUSDT futures against those who take a short position on the same underlying. This analytics does not say anything about buy/ sell volume.
LUNAUSDT long-short ratios remain consistently higher than BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT futures despite the market dip. As crypto market continues to dip, the long-short ratios across these 3 instruments are dropping sharply, especially LUNAUSDT with more traders coming in to take short positions while those who were previously taking long positions are slowly exiting even though LUNAUSDT still in net buying mode with long-short ratio greater than 1.
At the time of writing, bears are in control now as there are more sell volumes than the buy volumes across BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT and LUNAUSDT futures.
