Top cryptocurrencies to watch this week: LUNC, Starknet, Pi Network

2025/12/07 13:58

The crypto market was highly volatile last week as Bitcoin and most altcoins plunged on Monday, and then rebounded sharply in the next few days. They then plunged in the final days of the week, with Bitcoin dropping below the important support level at $90,000. 

This article explores some of the top cryptocurrencies to watch this week, including popular names like Terra Luna Classic (LUNC), Starknet (STRK), and Pi Network (PI).

Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) in focus ahead of Do Kwon sentencing

The LUNC token was one of the best-performing coins in the crypto market as it jumped to a high of $0.000081, its highest level since January this year. It was up by over 400% from its lowest level this year, bringing its market capitalization to over $300 million.

Terra Luna Classic token jumped after the community members showed up at a major Binance event. Binance is a major part of the network and is responsible for most of the burning.

The next key catalyst for the LUNC price will be the upcoming Do Kwon sentencing in the United States for his role in the $40 billion Terra collapse in 2022. Kwon pleaded guilty for this collapse, and he now faces decades in prison.

Do Kwon’s sentencing will not directly have an impact on the LUNC token. However, it may lead to more activity from traders, which may trigger more volatility.

The daily timeframe chart shows that the LUNC price has pulled back from last week’s high of $0.00008060 to the current $0.000057. This retreat happened as some investors started to book profits.

Therefore, the most likely scenario is where the token’s volatility continues, with it dropping to the key support level at $0.000050.

Pi Network price in focus as triangle nears confluence 

The Pi Network price will be in the spotlight after the developers announced a major integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into its KYC operations. 

This new integration allows users to use the same underlying technology of Pi Fast Track KYC, which reduces wait time and makes it easier for users to move their tokens to the mainnet. 

It also resolves an issue of validator shortage in some countries and regions. Also, the upgrade enables more validators to move in a faster manner, and reduces the need for more human validator to verify accounts.

According to the developers, 17.5 million pioneers have already passed the KYC process, while 15.7 million of them have migrated fully to the mainnet.

Pi Network believes that the KYC process is an essential one in ensuring that the MiCA proposal is successful, as it is the only crypto project to implement it.

Technically, the Pi Network price is forming a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart, and may likely move out of it this week, especially if the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates and maintains a dovish view.

Starknet price in focus ahead of token unlocks 

Starknet token has come under intense pressure in the past few months, in part because of the ongoing crypto market crash. Another reason is that the network has become highly dilutive because of its token unlocks.

One of these unlocks will happen later this week when the developers will release 163 million tokens worth over $18.2 million. These tokens are worth about 1.63% of its market capitalization.

Other cryptocurrencies will unlock more tokens this week. Some of the most notable ones are Chainbase, Unibase, Rain, and Movement.

USD mixed ahead of key FOMC decision – Scotiabank

The post USD mixed ahead of key FOMC decision – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar (USD) is narrowly mixed in quiet trade as investors await this week’s key event—Wednesday’s FOMC decision, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report. Markets weigh Fed cuts against sticky inflation “Stocks are churning in tight ranges while global bonds are softer as investors consider fading rate cut prospects outside of the US. European bond yields are up 4-5bps following hawkish comments from the ECB Governor Schnabel with Friday’s jump in Canadian bond yields adding to that momentum.” “The Fed is widely expected to cut rates this week, however, and give markets a little more insight into how a deeply divided policy-making body expects the key rate changes to unfold in the year ahead via updated dots and economic forecasts. More rate cuts are expected in 2026 but markets are having to balance expectations between sticky US inflation and the expected dovish shift in the Fed leadership next year.” “”The USD retains a sluggish undertone, meanwhile, and may need to find some hawkish nuggets in the Fed’s communications this week to avoid slipping further in what remains a weak period of the year for the USD overall from a seasonal point of view. The DXY is consolidating on the charts, with a tight trading range (potential bear flag pattern) developing between 98.8 (bear trigger) and 99.2 (short-term resistance).” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/usd-mixed-ahead-of-key-fomc-decision-scotiabank-202512081336

Risk back on the table as crypto ETFs bounce back

Risk back on the table as crypto ETFs bounce back

The post Risk back on the table as crypto ETFs bounce back appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Today, we break down the BTC move over the past week, how ETFs have seen net inflows for the first time in nearly four weeks, and application and chain revenue. We also look into who President Trump’s next Federal Reserve Chair nominee might be. Indices BTC bounced off $85,000 lows, and is back up to $92,000. Over the past three weeks, BTC has increased 5%, with significant volatility throughout. In particular, BTC has been underperforming through the EU session, while outperforming in the US and APAC sessions. Over the past week, oracles, lending and Ethereum ecosystem tokens performed well, with each up just over 4%. Crypto equities performed the best, up 6.7%, primarily due to outperformance by HOOD.   The Nasdaq 100 (+1.70%) and S&P 500 (+0.78%) continue to grind up, while Gold underperforms slightly (-0.85%). In terms of worst-performing, gaming has outperformed significantly toward the downside, with -23% returns over the past week. LGCT was the worst performer, and declined in price by -75% over the past week.  Charts for The Week Odds have surged (up to 78% on Kalshi) that Kevin Hassett will be President Trump’s next Federal Reserve chair nominee, an announcement Trump recently confirmed is imminent. Hassett, a close White House ally, is favored because he aligns with the president’s demand for much lower interest rates to provide cheaper consumer loans and mortgages. Bitcoin ETF flows reversed sharply in November, posting significant net outflows after a steady run of inflows from May through October. The month saw roughly $3.46 billion in redemptions, completely erasing the $3.42 billion in new inflows seen last month and the worst outflows since February 2025 ($3.56 billion). The reversal highlights how quickly sentiment deteriorated despite months of strong accumulation.…
