However, some altcoins show resistance to FUD, lose little and stay strong compared to the others. AVAX and LUNA rank 11th and 12th, respectively, in terms of market capitalization.

In addition, the indicators generally offer a healthy outlook. The AVAX futures market looks positive as the open interest (OI) on futures and perpetuals continues to rise. The open interest change in 24-hour futures for AVAX is up 6.79% while perpetuals are open 3.85%.

On the flip side, it appears that LUNA’s recent surge in the percentage increase in total whale-held stablecoin supply of over $ 5 million may have acted as a buffer during the recent sell-off. The numbers were up nearly 35% from September 19.
