Sui Price Forecast: SUI bulls target double-digit gains with $4.44 in sight 

Sui (SUI) price trades in green, above $3.80 on Thursday after rebounding from its key support level earlier in the week. The bullish view is further supported by rising Decentralized Exchange (DEX) activity and favorable funding rates. The technical indicators project SUI for further upside, with bulls eyeing the $4.44 resistance level as the next major target.

Sui Price Forecast: Bulls aiming for 16% gains 

Sui price broke above the falling wedge pattern on September 10 and rallied nearly 10% by Saturday. However, on Sunday, SUI failed to maintain the upward momentum and corrected 7.83% until the next day. On Tuesday, SUI retested and found support around the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA)  at $3.55 and rose 4.76% the next day. At the time of writing on Thursday, SUI continues to trade at a higher level around $3.82.

If SUI continues its upward momentum, it could extend the rally by 16% from its current level to reach its July 28 high at $4.44.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 59, above its neutral level of 50, and points upward, indicating that bullish momentum is gaining traction. The Moving Average Convergence (MACD) indicator on the same chart displayed a bullish crossover on September 7, which remains in effect, indicating sustained bullish momentum and an upward trend ahead.
