Crypto Quandary: SUI Tokens to Flood Market! 🚀💧

by

In the grand old tradition of things that go bump in the night, the Sui cryptocurrency is about to experience a jolly good shaking. A whopping 64.19 million SUI tokens, worth a tidy sum of $148.29 million, are due to be unleashed upon the world on April 1. One can’t help but wonder if this will cause the SUI price to do a spot of wobbling.

Tokenimist, that trusty chronicler of all things crypto, informs us that this release amounts to a mere 2.03% of the Sui’s (SUI) current supply, which is a rather impressive 3.17 billion SUI. However, with only 31.7% of the entire 10 billion SUI maximum supply currently in circulation, it seems there’s plenty more where that came from.

In other news, the Sui decentralized finance ecosystem has been positively bustling. Monthly decentralized exchange trading volume has hit $5 billion, and the stablecoin market capitalization has had a growth spurt, doubling from $370 million in December to a whopping $628 million as of Mar. 31.

But alas, amidst the crypto market’s current blues, Sui’s total value locked has taken a bit of a tumble, falling from a peak of $2.08 billion in January to a mere $1.2 billion, according to DefiLlama’s ever-so-helpful data.

SUI is currently trading at $2.32, which is rather in line with the 20-day simple moving average, with resistance at $2.37. If the price were to rise above this level, the next important resistance levels are $2.64 and $2.78. On the downside, the closest support level is $2.23. If selling pressure increases, we might see a decline to $2.00. Such fun!

Technical indicators are giving off a vibe that’s neutral to slightly bearish. The Relative Strength Index, at 44.5, shows weak buying interest, while the MACD remains in the doldrums, suggesting ongoing sell pressure. However, the Stochastic RSI is edging ever closer to the oversold area, indicating a possible short-term rebound. 

Once the token unlock occurs, SUI may experience a spot of volatility as traders react to the increased supply. Consolidation and a retest of $2.37 may be on the cards if buyers manage to hold the line at $2.23. Should the support crumble, though, we might see additional declines toward $2.00.

But fear not! Positive ecosystem developments, such as Canary Capital’s SUI-linked exchange traded fund filing and the blockchain recently surpassing 100 million total accounts, may yet save the day. If buying interest can outmuscle selling pressure, SUI may surge past $2.37 and test $2.64 in the upcoming weeks. Fingers crossed, old chaps!
