Technical Analysis – Sui Continues the Uptrend
The SUI/USDT chart on the 1-day timeframe displays notable price action that suggests a significant shift in market momentum. For several months, SUI traded within a bearish channel, with lower highs and lows indicating sustained downward pressure. This channel ended in mid-August when the price found support near the 0.78 Fibonacci level, a key retracement point that often serves as a vital support area. Shortly after, the price broke out of the bearish channel in early September, signaling a potential reversal from bearish to bullish sentiment.
Following the breakout, SUI experienced a sharp bullish rally, pushing the price well above both the 50-day SMA (1.0895) and the 200-day SMA (0.9515). This crossover above two critical moving averages suggests a confirmed bullish trend, with the current price at 1.5405. These moving averages are now positioned as dynamic support levels in the event of a price pullback, adding to the strong positive momentum.
Sui Price Breaks Out On Bullish Technicals
The chart also highlights a support zone around $0.80, which had been a critical level before the breakout. This area is likely to act as a strong support if the market retraces. However, the current price action suggests further gains are possible, with the potential for “More Upside Reward” indicated by the arrow pointing to the upside. The price could continue rising if it manages to break through the $1.60 resistance level, which may present short-term selling pressure for the Sui price.
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) is currently at 79.19, placing it in the overbought zone. While this suggests strong bullish momentum, it also implies that the market could experience a short-term correction or consolidation. An RSI in overbought territory often signals a potential pullback, especially if the indicator remains elevated for an extended period.
The chart shows a solid bullish breakout from a prolonged bearish phase, supported by a rise above key moving averages. While there is potential for further upside, as indicated by the recent price surge, the RSI suggests the possibility of a short-term pullback. Investors should watch for resistance around $1.60 and support from the 50-day SMA, 200-day SMA, and the $0.80 support zone in case of a retracement.
