$LUNA continues the jump: how the market reacts to the trial of Do Kwon and what to expect next

The price of LUNA has sharply increased, exceeding the level of 0.16–0.17 USDT, demonstrating one of the strongest impulses in recent months. The primary catalyst was the expectation of the verdict for Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges. The market perceives the conclusion of the trial as an opportunity to remove years of legal uncertainty that has historically pressured related assets.

During the rise, trading volumes significantly increased, indicating a high level of speculative interest. Investors view the history of LUNA as a short-term trading opportunity, as there is almost no fundamental activity from the project.

In the coming days, two scenarios are possible. If the verdict is harsh and the market recognizes the legal drama as "closed," LUNA may test 0.20–0.22 USDT. If the decision is lenient or investors start to take profits, the price may return to 0.12–0.14 USDT.
