Sui price could rally 45%

Sui (SUI) price remains above an ascending trendline, providing downward support as the altcoin attempts a recovery rally. The upside potential for SUI remains alive as indicated by the technicals, starting with the Relative Strength Index (RSI). With this momentum indicator moving north, momentum is rising as more bulls flock the scene. This explains why the Awesome Oscillator (AO) remains in positive territory.

Also, the position of the RSI at 66 suggests Sui price still has room to travel north before we can talk about the pullback possibility as a consequence of SUI being overbought.

Moreover, the Average Directional Index (ADX) indicator is climbing with the trend strength quantifier showing the uptrend is only getting stronger.

If the accumulation pattern continues, Sui price could soon breach the immediate roadblock at $0.9429. Further north, the altcoin could ascend toward the $1.2622 resistance level in a move that would constitute a 45% climb above current levels.

In a highly bullish case, Sui price could clear the aforementioned barrier before extending north to tag the $1.5000 psychological level.
