Is it a breather after a sharp rise, or a signal of a downward trend reversal—SUI's price has entered a short-term correction phase.
According to CoinMarketCap, a cryptocurrency market data aggregator, on April 9 (local time), SUI (SUI) traded at $0.909, down 4.52% over 24 hours, registering a larger drop than the market average. This is analyzed as the result of a slowdown in short-term momentum, as technical correction intensified after a recent rally.
The primary factor behind this decline is a typical retracement after a sharp surge. SUI surged over 11% on April 8, but its upward momentum was halted by selling pressure at the $0.96 resistance level. Subsequently, the price fell below the 7-day and 30-day moving averages, indicating a cooling of the short-term uptrend. This is interpreted as a process of unwinding overheating rather than a collapse of the bullish structure.
The overall market sentiment has also cooled. While risk asset preference temporarily paused, with the total cryptocurrency market capitalization decreasing by 1.22% and Bitcoin also falling by 1.05%, SUI showed an even larger decline, expanding its volatility. Furthermore, approximately $285,000 worth of new short positions entered the derivatives market, increasing downward pressure.
In the short term, the most crucial price level is $0.90. If this level is maintained, there is a possibility that it will consolidate within the $0.90-$0.96 range and continue a re-evaluation trend. Conversely, if $0.90 collapses, the possibility of testing the next support level at $0.88 opens up, and the extent of the correction could widen.
Market variables still depend on macro factors. With the upcoming US CPI announcement scheduled for April 10-11 being identified as a key event that will determine the overall flow of risk assets, SUI's direction is also expected to be determined by those results. The short-term trend is positioned between neutral and bearish, and the recovery of the $0.96 resistance is pointed to as the turning point for a rebound.
