SUI price Aims for a Breakout Above a Rectangle Pattern

The SUI price has gained a spot among the top 20 cryptocurrencies after flipping LTC and making its way into the top 20. Despite the market bleeding, its 24-hour volume has increased massively on the network, meaning there’s a flow of liquidity. 

The SUI price is aiming for a breakout above the rectangle pattern in the 4-hour chart. Currently, there is a fierce tug-of-war between the bulls and the bears; however, the odds seem to lean to the upside. The SUI price has been stuck in a tight range, with the upper limit/resistance at $1.91 and the lower limit/support at $1.62. However, this may act as an accumulation period before the bulls initiate a strong move upward. 

Based on the 4-hour timeframe chart, the SUI price sits on top of key support areas, reinforced by the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) (green) at $1.73 and the 200-day SMA at $1.22. This outlook upholds a bullish picture in the market.

SUI Price Prediction

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) upholds the growing presence of bulls in the market as it climbs from near oversold conditions, currently at 55.01. It is possible that some traders, especially those who bought SUI at $0.85, may prefer to book profits as bulls struggle with the channel’s upper boundary resistance. However, the likelihood of a breakout to $2, backed by the bullish technical indicators, could keep most traders interested in this token.

On the other hand, a sell signal from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) introduces a bearish outlook. However, the blue MACD line seems hurtling towards crossing above the orange signal line. In the meantime, traders will likely keep their buy orders open if the blue MACD line crosses above the orange signal line. The momentum indicator must move upward to the mean line (0.00) and into the positive region to validate the uptrend.

The SUI price will likely increase in the short term, as it will break above the rectangle pattern. Based on the technical information, market sentiment suggests that many investors may hold off on taking profits, aiming for a potential new all-time high (ATH). This could increase the price to around $2.82 or above $3 in the short term. 

Conversely, the rally may lose steam if selling pressure increases before the bulls break above the $1.92 resistance. However, key support at $1.73 (coinciding with the 50-day SMA) remains vital. Moreover, a breach below this level could shift sentiment and push SUI to $1.45, postponing anticipated gains.
