SUI could rally 23%, break out of a downward trend
The SUI/USDT daily ptice chart shows that the key momentum indicator, Relative Strength Index (RSI) is sloping upwards and reads 38. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator signals a waning underlying negative momentum in the SUI price trend.
SUI could find support in the imbalance zone between $2.85 and $3.02, a Fair Value Gap (FVG) on the daily timeframe.
SUI faces resistance in the FVG between $3.0758 and $4.0105. The target is the upper boundary of the imbalance zone at $4.0105.
