The Terra Classic price crawled back on Tuesday, November 5, reaching an intraday high of $0.000086. This LUNC recovery happened after Terra announced that it had permanently closed the Shuttle Bridge and burned the remaining tokens.
Terra Classic Price Reacts to Shuttle Bridge Closure
In an X post, Terra announced that it had permanently closed the Shuttle Bridge interface. This closure led to the burning of the remaining LUNC and USTC tokens in the bridge. A token burn happens when tokens are moved to a discrete address that cannot be accessed.
The closure happened a few months after the developers opened the bridge to facilitate the redemption of the existing wrapped tokens. Precisely, the bridge helped users to send their LUNC and USTC bridged to Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Harmony back to Terra Classic.

The opening of the Shuttle Bridge was part of the Terraform’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, a few years after its collapse. As part of the settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Terraform Labs had to burn the remaining tokens.
Terra Luna Classic Price Is At Risk
The LUNC price formed a double-top pattern around $0.00025 earlier this year, which explains why it has dropped by 65% from its highest level in March. The neckline of this pattern was at $0.000087, where it was trading on November 5.
Terra Luna Classic price has remained below the 78.6% Fibonacci Retracement level. Most importantly, it has remained below the 50-day Weighted Moving Average indicator and the Ichimoku cloud.
The LUNC token has formed two bearish chart patterns. It has created a rising wedge, which is made up of converging higher lows and higher highs. In most periods, this pattern leads to a breakdown, especially when the two lines are nearing their confluence.
Terra Luna Classic has formed a bearish pennant chart pattern consisting of a long vertical line and a triangle-like pattern.
Therefore, the combination of a double-top pattern, rising wedge, and bearish pennant means that the token will have a bearish breakdown in the near term. If this happens, the next reference level to watch will be $0.000054, its August lows, and 38% below the current level.

On the flip side, a move above the crucial resistance level at $0.00011, its highest swing in September, will invalidate the bearish view. If this happens, it will rise to the next key resistance level at $0.00013, its highest level in May.
