SUI was stuck in a choppy price action in the last week, eventually recording a 2.48% loss. Just like the rest of the crypto market, the altcoin has remained largely in consolidation for the past two weeks with little indication of its next price breakout. However, amid this sideways movement, crypto analyst Ali Martinez has identified potential for some significant short-term gains.
Staying Above $2.26 Is Key To SUI Bullish Structure
In an X post on March 22, Martinez shares a positive technical analysis of the SUI market based on recent price movements on the 4-hour chart. The crypto analyst notes that SUI has been moving within an ascending channel since March 11 and is likely poised for an imminent upswing.
An ascending channel is a popular bullish pattern formed by two parallel trend lines sloping upwards. Both trendlines act as resistance and support keeping an asset’s price within range. Despite this limited price movement, an ascending channel is considered bullish as it indicates a significant buyer’s influence.
Based on the chart provided by Martinez, SUI has recently retested the support line of its ascending channel at $2.26 showing intentions of an uptrend. Provided that SUI suffers no sudden dip below this support, the crypto analyst projects a rise to around $2.50 representing the resistance (upper trendline) of the ascending channel.
In the presence of a strong market demand, SUI could break out of this ascending channel with an immediate target of $3.0. However, any decisive price fall below $2.26 support could result in prices as low as $1.75.
SUI Market Overview
The SUI community showed much excitement in the last week as Canary Capital filed an application for a SUI spot ETF with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This move followed a trust registration for the proposed fund in Delaware earlier in March. Prospects of a spot ETF are considered highly bullish due to the promise of institutional investment as seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum over the last year.
At the time of writing, SUI was trading at $2.28, reflecting a 0.84% gain in the past day. Meanwhile, the asset’s trading volume has crashed by 31.69% indicating a decline in market participation. Notably, the altcoin is also down by 30.21% on its monthly chart due to a strong bearish influence over the past few weeks.
Nevertheless, SUI remains a major headliner of the current cycle following an impressive price performance between Q4 2024 to early January 2025 where it surged to establish a new all-time high of $5.35. And with the cycle potentially far from over, certain analysts are backing the bullish potential of SUI describing the current downtrend as a good buying opportunity.
