Price Structure and Momentum
SUI has been trading within a descending channel for several weeks. Recent daily candles show smaller ranges and shorter lower wicks, indicating weakening downside pressure.
Buyers are taking supply near resistance, which has supported price stability. Momentum indicators suggest that the market may be preparing for a breakout.
The recent rebound from the $1.34 support area coincided with MACD crossing above the signal line.
This confirms that price momentum has shifted without creating excessive market speculation.
If the trend continues, SUI could test the 50 EMA around $1.67. A breakout above $1.70 may turn resistance into support, potentially allowing a move toward the $2.10 supply zone.
