The $1 Threshold Broken: Analysis of a Technical Correction

The crypto market holds its breath as SUI, one of the most closely watched altcoins of the moment, has failed to maintain itself above the symbolic $1 barrier. This level, which had been acting as a major psychological support, has transformed into a technical resistance that’s proving difficult to break through. Currently, the price is oscillating dangerously below this zone, signaling structural weakness that could encourage bears to take control.

From a technical perspective, the failure to transform the $1.02 zone into solid support is an alarm signal. Analysts are observing a local top formation which, if not quickly invalidated by a bullish breakout, could validate a broader bearish reversal structure. Momentum indicators like the RSI show that the asset is struggling to regain sufficient buying momentum to counter the current selling pressure. The weekly RSI could therefore return to oversold territory before its price can find a bottom.

If the bulls fail to push the price back above $1.02 – $1.04 within the next 24 hours, the door would be wide open for a deeper retracement. The next significant liquidity level sits around $0.81, a zone that could serve as the last line of defense before a more pronounced capitulation.

Bitcoin (BTC): The Missing Catalyst for a Rally?

In this gloomy context for SUI, all eyes turn to the king of cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC). The correlation between SUI and BTC remains strong, and the altcoin often acts as a high-beta asset, amplifying Bitcoin’s movements. A resumption of volatility on Bitcoin could be the necessary spark to pull SUI out of its lethargy.

If Bitcoin manages to initiate a new impulsive movement and secure its own supports, this could drain liquidity toward major altcoins. A rally scenario on BTC would allow SUI to test its local resistance again. Conversely, if Bitcoin shows signs of weakness or enters a prolonged sideways consolidation phase, SUI risks bearing the full brunt of investor disinterest, accentuating its bearish trend.

It’s crucial to monitor trading volumes. A price increase without volume (fakeout) wouldn’t be enough to validate a reversal. For SUI to hope to revisit its highs, it would need confirmation through massive buying volumes, probably triggered by a global crypto market movement led by Bitcoin.

Can SUI Avoid the Drop to $0.80 This Week?

The situation is critical but not hopeless. On-chain indicators show that some institutional investors continue to accumulate, betting on SUI’s underlying technology for the long term despite the short-term turmoil. However, the market is always right in the short term, and the current structure calls for caution.

Traders will monitor two key levels in the coming hours: the recovery of $1.02 to invalidate the bearish scenario, or the break of $0.93 which would accelerate the fall toward $0.80. In such a volatile market, risk management is paramount.

Subsequently, if SUI loses the low of its weekly Order block at $0.76, breaking the bullish trendline will be inevitable and SUI could drop to $0.5. But for now, as long as SUI maintains $0.76, this zone is an optimal accumulation area for long-term investment.
