If no bullish continuation scenario can be excluded in view of the strong trend displayed by SUI, the probabilities tend more favorably towards a consolidation which would allow digestion of the last movement.
The Fibonacci retracement from the August 5 low to the October 13 high reveals several areas of interest:
- The zone to be protected to maintain the current dynamic is emerging at the confluence of the 0.5 retracement, the daily low Bollinger band and the 50-day moving average: between 1.40 and 1.50 dollars;
- The 0.382 retracement in confluence with the historical zone in green around 1.60 dollars is also interesting to monitor in the idea of a relaunch of the impulsive movement;
- Finally, the area drawn in blue above the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement at $1.91 is support above which we could see a reaccumulation phase taking shape that could offer a particularly explosive resolution.
In any case, on a weekly basis, the Bollinger bands are well open, which suggests that medium-term volatility could continue to be part of the price action.
As the charts currently stand, the SUI token seems to be moving favorably towards a bullish continuation scenario towards $4. This scenario could develop particularly quickly if consolidation above $1.91 is confirmed, thus structuring a retest of the exit zone of an accumulation phase of several months.
