SUI, the native token of the Sui Layer 1 blockchain, is approaching key resistance after a sharp recovery from its September lows, with analysts Michael van de Poppe and Ali Charts watching for further gains. Van de Poppe has identified $1.20 as a critical breakout level, with $0.95 viewed as a potential entry point if prices fall. Ali Charts is monitoring $1.27, where an hourly close could confirm another bullish breakout.

In the near term, SUI faces resistance around $1.21–$1.26, while $1.15 and $1.00 remain important support levels.

Van de Poppe Outlines Two Scenarios

Van de Poppe said on X that SUI could continue rising, but he highlighted two possible entry scenarios. A break above $1.20 would clear what he considers the final resistance standing in the way of a further rally.

At the same time, he cautioned that a decline in Bitcoin could push SUI lower. In that scenario, he identified $0.95 as a potential entry point, describing it as a potentially strong trade opportunity. His analysis places SUI between important price levels, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum. The analyst did not specify a higher price target in the event of a breakout above $1.20.

Ali Charts Tracks Another Channel Breakout

Ali Charts, meanwhile, has identified a repeating pattern of consolidation followed by upward breakouts that began on September 12. According to the analyst, SUI has completed this sequence three times over recent weeks.

The token is now forming another parallel channel, with $1.27 serving as the key level to watch. An hourly close above that price could confirm another bullish breakout and potentially kick off a further advance. A completed breakout here would mark the fourth such cycle in the sequence.

Chart Levels and Trading Volume

SUI's chart shows the recovery accelerating from approximately $0.70–$0.75 in mid-September. The price subsequently crossed $1.00 and climbed to around $1.25–$1.26 before retreating.

The token recently traded near $1.177, consolidating around $1.15–$1.20, according to Santiment chart data. The 50-day moving average sits near $1.18, while the 200-day average is around $0.905 — a wide gap reflecting how far the token has climbed from its September lows. Moving averages are among the most closely followed trend indicators in technical analysis, and traders commonly reference them when weighing support and resistance zones.

Immediate resistance lies between $1.21 and $1.26. A decisive move above $1.26 could open a path toward $1.30–$1.40. On the downside, losing the $1.15 support area could expose $1.00, followed by the 200-day average near $0.905.

Trading activity expanded during September's rally, with volume reaching approximately 2.5 billion to 3 billion SUI during peak activity, a figure chartists often use to gauge the strength of a price move.

For now, both analysts' scenarios come down to clearly defined triggers: an hourly close above $1.27 for Ali Charts' channel setup, and either a break above $1.20 or a Bitcoin-led pullback toward $0.95 for van de Poppe's scenarios.
