Specifically, $LUX, a token tied to luxury collectibles, experienced a sharp rise in its price, reaching $1.25 from $1.08 within the first hour after the X post (Source: CoinGecko price data, February 22, 2025, 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM UTC). Similarly, $NFTY, another token focused on NFTs and collectibles, saw its price increase from $0.95 to $1.06 during the same period (Source: CoinGecko price data, February 22, 2025, 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM UTC).

This event underscores the strong correlation between high-profile endorsements and market movements in the crypto and NFT space.

Technical analysis of the market following Altcoin Gordon's X post revealed several key indicators. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for $LUX climbed from 55 to 68 within the first hour, indicating a shift towards overbought conditions (Source: TradingView RSI data for $LUX, February 22, 2025, 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM UTC). Similarly, the RSI for $NFTY increased from 52 to 65, also suggesting a potential overbought scenario (Source: TradingView RSI data for $NFTY, February 22, 2025, 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM UTC). The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) for both tokens showed bullish crossovers, with $LUX's MACD line crossing above the signal line at 11:00 AM UTC and $NFTY's at 11:15 AM UTC, indicating potential upward momentum (Source: TradingView MACD data for $LUX and $NFTY, February 22, 2025, 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM UTC).
