The price uptick was accompanied by a rise in its trading volume, acting as a foundation for the surge. LUNC’s 1-week price volatility also gained upward momentum.
Coinglass’ data further revealed that LUNC’s weighted funding rate turned green. A high funding rate means that derivatives investors were buying LUNC at its press time price.

Not only in terms of price, but the blockchain has also witnessed growth in its staking ecosystem. Lunc Metric’s data pointed out that after a dip on 9 September, the blockchain’s staking ratio started to rise.
