Analysts set a target price of $2.50 for SUI, which has previously risen 30% per week.
Sui (SUI) is one of the most popular encryption assets in 2024, with significant market growth and large price fluctuations over the past year. After the price increase last week, the altcoin is currently in a consolidation phase. As usual, these consolidation trends have sparked a lot of speculation about the next price movement of the token.
In his Saturday post, market analyst Michaël van de Poppe set a new target price for SUI based on its current bullish momentum. According to data, SUI has recorded a profit of 30.01% in the past seven days, making it the second-highest gainer in the cryptocurrency market on a weekly basis. Along with the price increase, the digital asset has reached a new all-time high of $2.28. However, Van de Poppe's prediction indicates that the altcoin will maintain its current upward trend and reach new highs between $2.30 and $2.50.
However, looking at the daily chart of SUI, some indicators present a different view. For example, the price of the asset is significantly above its 100-day simple moving average, indicating that it may be overbought and may require a price adjustment. This position is further supported by the token's RSI, which is in the overbought zone.
Overall, SUI is one of the best-performing tokens in 2024, with its overall price rising by 182.5% since the beginning of this year. However, for the first-layer assets, it has been a polarized market experience, with its value losing about 71.5% from April to August.
Currently, the market sentiment around altcoins is generally bullish, and investors are confident in long-term profitability. Interestingly, analysts believe that SUI will be the diamond in the upcoming Bull Market and may replicate Solana's performance in 2021. If this prediction comes true, it could rise to $70 in the next 12-18 months.
With the recent price increase, the open interest of SUI contracts has grown by 27.10% in the past 24 hours, reaching approximately 664.29 million US dollars. As a background, open interest measures the value of all active trading positions in the market, both long and short. Interestingly, the daily long/short ratio is currently 1.0665, indicating a slight increase in traders' confidence in the future price increase of SUI.
The current SUI trading price is $2.22, up 9.62% in the past day. At the same time, the daily trading volume of the token has increased by 12.55%, and the Market Cap has reached 11.2 billion.
