Sui price outlook

Sui price is coiling up for a correction, with a 15% pullback likely to the 78.6% Fibonacci level at $1.31. In the dire case, the drop could see the altcoin retrace the most critical Fibonacci level of 61.8% at $1.05. This would denote a 30% drop below current levels.

Multiple technical indicators support this thesis. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at levels where it has corrected multiple times with the price mirroring the rejection. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) is also showing a pronounced red histogram bar, which is a bearish sign, accentuated by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), which was losing slope after a vivid northbound trajectory.

On the flip side, if the bulls show resolve, Sui price could extend the intermediate trend, potentially clearing the local top at $1.65. A higher high above this level would invalidate the bearish thesis, bringing the $2.00 range high into focus.
