📉UST -92%! How $11.5B became a $1.4B?Algorithmic stablecoin UST dropped by 92% and there are still different rumors: the network collapsed on its own or was deliberately destroyed to buy back all the Bitcoins from the Terra Foundation. As we know, about 80,000 BTC were used to secure this stabelcoin. Many holders of UST, just stablecoin(!), have lost about $10B. 📊In order to understand how it all happened, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of algorithmic stablecoins. 🎯Types of Stablecoins. In the picture you can see different types of stablecoins: 🔶 USDT, USDC - secured in fiat currency, government bonds. 🔶 DAl - secured by pledge of Ethereum in smart contracts. If you know that Ethereum will grow in value and you do not want to spend it, you pledge your Ethereum, and in return you get more DAI (dollars) for the trading or investing. 🔶 UST is an algo stablecoin, which has a price peg to the main cryptocurrency and USD. In the case of UST it was Luna. Luna was the security of the UST stablecoin and you could exchange 1 UST and the equivalent of Luna. If Luna was worth $100, you could get 100 UST in exchange, and for 1 UST you could get 0.01 Luna. There was also a huge supply of Bitcoin on the security of UST. ✅What is the advantage of algorithmic Stablecoin? The advantage of this approach is that there is no need to hold additional funds for security. If a bank issued securities in order to borrow money, it has the funds to security that debt, and also earns additional profit on the money it borrowed. For algorithmic stablecoins, the security was an altcoin. If Luna goes down in value, the guarantee that you can exchange USTs for dollars goes down also. If the bank goes bankrupt, you get your money back, if the altcoin drops....you know what happened next. 💼Algorithmic stablecoins are also called unsecured stablcoins. Luna had a security in BTC, but as it turned out later, not enough. Why is the peg broken? Let's not go into all the details, I'll tell you a simple algorithm: 1️⃣ The big amount🐳 of UST was exchanged for Luna. 2️⃣ They have sold big amount of Luna by market. 3️⃣ Luna dropped by 50% and its capitalization became insufficient to secure UST. 4️⃣ Panic selling by retail investors continued. 5️⃣ Terra Fundation, in an attempt to stabilize the stablecoin`s peg to the dollar, sold all their Bitcoin holdings. 6️⃣ Luna is down by 99.9998% and UST is down by 92% with no BTC on their wallets. What are the reasons of this dump? A week ago I did an article about Terra being a top 3 holder of Bitcoin and have about 80,000 Bitcoins. If you've been in trading for a long time, you should understand that the whales have liquidity issues and may have done a manipulation of the price of Luna to make Terra sell all their Bitcoins to save the stabelcoin peg. 🚩If you are a newbie, liquidity is a measure of the speed or availability at which a trader can buy or sell a cryptocurrency. You don't need much liquidity to buy 1 Bitcoin, but to make a $2-3 billion purchase, you need someone to sell $2-3 billion worth of Bitcoins. Such manipulations happen very often at the crypto market, as it happened with Luna and UST. When Bitcoin falls by 30%, more than $2B of long traderss are liquidated, all this liquidity is bought by big players, because they don't have such amount of liquidity for buying at other time. 🏁Are you still have a questions?

🚀GALA: trandline breakout! Is it possible now?The Gala rebounded nicely after the fall, but after that it made long traders fuel for a 30-40% drop. Now traders in the crypto market are scared and do not understand what reade to open (long or short?). In this idea I will tell my thoughts about Gala, closest targets and preconditions for a possible long. What can be marked out on the chart? 1. the price rebound of 100% after the fall, caused many traders to buy in. After the last drop to $0.65-0.68 support, most had to sell their GALA. 2. Rising volumes every time the "bottom" was tested. On the volume indicator, you can see the volumes rising every time and the price bounce. A sign that someone may be accumulating a position. 3. 2 unsuccessful tests of the trend line and a return to it. A positive signal, a sign of bullish strength. What to expect in order to open a long position? 🔶A squeeze under the trend line. 🔶Watch for Bitcoin, which should also look strong. Another liquidity pickup below the $0.65-0.68 support level is possible. Keep an eye on volumes, which should rise in this case. Targets for a long: 1. $0.094-0.1 2. $0.11-0.12 💻Press the "like"👍 button, write comments and share with your friends - it will be the best THANK YOU. P.S.

Luna Classic FTWTrading view doesn't have Luna's classic chart working, so disregard the image above, I just needed to publish my prediction. Since the charts aren't working for luna classic, we are all flying blind. I've managed to scrape together my indicators on the Kucoin chart since it's the only one I can find currently. Applying RSI, HV, S A R, Ichimoku, EMA 10, 30, 50, & 100, I've come to the conclusion that Luna classic will moon if it reaches 0.000155 by 1:55 AM EST. Not financial advice.

✅GMT: will the Axie pattern repeat or GMT is a SCAM?Hi friends! As we all know the 👟GMT fall close to the $1 key level because of 2 main reasons: 1️⃣ a lot of game tockens were minted. Green Satoshi Token (GST) is a gaming token of Stepn APP: 🔶GST supply on May 21 was 3.58M. 🔶GST supply is 52.9M now . The supply increased by 1477%, which is a lot and led to a fall in the price of Stepn itself. 2️⃣ China start blocking the Stepn app on July 15. This happen due to the regulation of cryptocurrencies in the country. Naturally, this caused panic among the Chinese, massive sales and collapsed the price of the cryptocurrency by 26%. Recall that the Chinese are the main part of players in the app. Axie and Stepn have fallen similarly after Bitcoin's fall, but will GMT repeat the AXS pattern of 2021? It would be ideal to wait for a similar trend line and open a long on a breakout. After the 80% drop, when reatail is scared and squeezed under the trend line, it would be possible to open a similar to AXS long. 📊Let's compare this two games: 1. There are actually a lot of people playing in Axie Infinity. There's a developed ecosystem, it's more than a few years old, the game is constantly evolving. 2. GMT looks like a pyramid scheme and it might scam at any time. Friends, if you want to trade, please use the stop losses, because this is the main thing in trading that allow you to be succesfull for a long long time. If GMT repeats the AXIE pattern, I will be posting trading setups in new updates and ideas, so stay tuned! 💻Press the "like"👍 button, write comments and share with your friends - it will be the best THANK YOU.

To the LUNAMEXC Global has pledged to carry out a month-long buyback-and-burn to reduce the circulating supply of the old Terra markets. The fall of Terra shook the entire crypto market. However, the project has no plans to stay down, having secured backing from crypto exchanges to help it rebuild. In an announcement on Thursday, Terra provided details on an upcoming airdrop of the new native token for its new blockchain dubbed Terra 2.0. The distribution of tokens will proceed on Friday, and holders of Terra Luna Classic (LUNC), TerraUSD Classic (USTC) and Anchor Protocol UST (aUST) who are eligible will receive new tokens Crypto exchanges Binance and FTX noted that they are working closely with the Terra team regarding the upcoming airdrop. Binance stated that it aims to help affected users on the platform by helping Terra with the recovery plan. FTX announced that it will support the airdrop and temporarily halt LUNA and UST markets during the migration. The Terra team said that in addition to Binance and FTX, it’s also working closely with more partner exchanges that will support the airdrop.
