Analyst Predicts Major Price Movements Ahead For Altcoins

In a recent post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), OxNobler shared insights on the Altcoin Indicator, which has just gone parabolic for the first time in three years. 

The analyst emphasized the cyclical nature of market phases, driven by capital inflows that shift from Bitcoin into larger-cap tokens before eventually reaching lower-cap altcoins, suggesting a growing liquidity movement that could fuel significant price surges across the altcoin landscape.

Identifying key catalysts for the upcoming liquidity inflows, OxNobler pointed to several factors: the upcoming US election, where both candidates express support for Bitcoin, anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts, the potential lifting of the cryptocurrency ban in China, and the expected payout of $16 billion from FTX in Q4 2024 to Q1 2025. 

By analyzing historical price movements and market cycles, OxNobler believes traders can position themselves for substantial gains in the months ahead. OxNobler has highlighted several altcoins that he believes are primed for growth in this new market phase.

 Key Players In Upcoming Market Shift

• Realio Network (RIO): This blockchain-based platform focuses on the issuance, investment, and lifecycle management of digital securities and crypto assets. With a current trading price of $0.83 and a market cap of just $4 million, OxNobler believes that RIO is poised for significant upside, especially given the increasing interest in Real World Assets (RWA). Major asset managers like BlackRock are already investing in this sector, potentially driving demand for altcoins such as RIO.
• Zero Labs (DEAI): This token supports a decentralized artificial intelligence ecosystem focused on data governance. Currently priced at $0.55, DEAI has a market cap of $50 million, making it an attractive option as AI continues to gain traction, specially over the past year behind the buzz surrounding companies like Nvidia.

• SUI: Notable for its recent performance, SUI has surged 28% over the past month and an impressive 372% year-to-date, currently trading at $1.98 with a market cap exceeding $5 billion, positioning it well for the expected altseason.

• Render Network (RENDER): This decentralized GPU rendering network connects users needing GPU computing power with those willing to rent out their resources. Priced at $5 with a market cap of $2.6 billion, the analyst suggests that RENDER is well-positioned to benefit from the increasing demand for GPU computing in various technological applications.
• TokenFi (TOKEN): Aiming to simplify the crypto and asset tokenization process, TokenFi aspires to become the leading platform in this space, according to the analyst. Currently, TOKEN trades at $0.047 with a market cap of $47 million.

However, since this peak, the token has retreated by nearly 5%, largely due to growing concerns over allegations of insider selling among the project’s stakeholders.

Can SUI Match Solana’s Success?

Market expert LightCrypto took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday to express his skepticism about the sustainability of SUI’s recent gains. In a lengthy post, he noted SUI’s substantial rise, which has quintupled from its previous lows of $0.5 on August 5, amid the broader market crash that occurred that day. 

While the market appears to be eager for new winners, with macroeconomic conditions pointing to further price gains, LightCrypto raised two critical points that could undermine SUI’s upward trajectory. 

Firstly, the expert questioned the rationale behind SUI’s current $23 billion fully diluted valuation (FDV), particularly when compared to Solana’s $73 billion according to Coingecko data. 

LightCrypto argued that it no longer makes sense to assume SUI can replicate Solana’s success, especially given that it currently trades at just a quarter of Solana’s market valuation. 

The expert further challenged the community to articulate a compelling risk-reward scenario that justifies such a disparity, asking whether SUI has demonstrated even a fraction of Solana’s potential.

Potential Market Correction Looms

Secondly, LightCrypto alleged the worrying trend of insider selling, indicating that insiders, including what is believed to be a large endowment fund, have dumped around $400 million in tokens during the recent rally. 

The expert noted that this selling trend has not only occurred at higher price levels, but has also been ongoing since much lower valuations. 

Ultimately, LightCrypto believes that the acceleration of these sales may create a disconcerting atmosphere for retail investors, who may be buying tokens from those best informed about their true value.

The implication is stark: as these supposed insiders cash out while retail investors chase momentum, the potential for a market correction looms large, potentially threatening the token’s current rally. 

Despite these allegations, SUI, currently trading at $2.24, continues to see significant investor interest in the token, with trading volume up 36% in Sunday’s session, valued at approximately $1.7 billion. 

Furthermore, regardless of LightCrypto’s troubling findings, corrections are normal after a token hits a new record high, with the clear example of Bitcoin (BTC), which has been unable to come close to that level since hitting a new record high of $73,7000. 

What is certain is that if the expert’s claims prove to be true, it could further exacerbate a potential correction in the SUI price, with the first major support level for bulls being the $2.046 area.

SUI Vs. Solana

Yesterday, the buzz intensified when several accounts on X shared charts suggesting that SUI had overtaken Solana in daily transactions for the first time. Enthusiasts quickly touted SUI as the next “Layer-1 killer,” poised to surpass Solana, which has been a leading contender among Layer-1 blockchains behind Ethereum.

However, this claim faced scrutiny from industry experts. Developer João Mendonça took to X to rebut the assertions, stating: “SUI did not surpass Solana in daily transactions â€?there’s no free lunch. On the left = a deceptive chart where each instruction of each transaction is counted as a transaction on SUI. On the right = Artemis’s genuine read of daily transactions.”

Mendonça referenced a detailed explanation by analytics firm Artemis from May. The firm highlighted that in traditional Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) architectures, users submit transactions that execute a set of instructions. In contrast, on the SUI blockchain, users submit a transaction block containing multiple transactions that update objects in the global state. Therefore, comparing transaction counts directly between SUI and other chains like Solana can be deceptive.

They explained: “Artemis decided to count Sui transaction blocks instead of transactions when comparing activity with Ethereum and other chains. This decision was based on the fact that Sui has a different architecture than the EVM, and counting transaction blocks gives a more accurate picture of user interactions.”

Prominent crypto analyst VirtualBacon also weighed in on the discourse, analyzing the SUI/SOL price chart. He remarked: “SUI vs SOL ratio almost at resistance. One must question the upside potential of this ‘new killer L1â€? For this to keep running another month, it either completely takes over the market share of Solana, or we rotate back to the proven chain.”

Expressing skepticism about SUI’s ability to maintain its momentum against Solana’s price, he added: “Somehow people in comments believe they’re still early to $SUI at ATH and 20B FDV. It’s nowhere close to Solana level adoption imo.”

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe also casted doubts that the SUI price can run above the all-time high immediately. Via X, he wrote today: “SUI did run away and printed a new all-time high. The first one! Didn’t allow me to enter, but it might be topped for now. Looking at the same region or $1.85 for entry zones. Massive runner.â€?/p>

Despite the debates, SUI has undeniably been gaining traction. In September, Raoul Pal, founder and CEO of Global Macro Investor and RealVision, lauded SUI as a “groundbreaking ultra-fast L1, super efficient, full blockchain ecosystem”. He emphasized that SUI, developed from the remnants of Meta’s Diem project, is designed to scale for billions of users transitioning from Web2 to Web3 technologies. Pal’s endorsement amplified interest in SUI within the crypto community.

Adding to its growing ecosystem, Circle—the company behind USDC, the world’s second-largest stablecoin by market capitalization—announced in September that the Sui network would support USDC. This integration is expected to enhance liquidity and utility on the Sui blockchain, potentially attracting more developers and users.

Most recently, on Monday, crypto exchange Bybit announced support for SUI on its Launchpool platform. This move makes SUI only the second chain available on the service after Mantle (MNT), providing users with new opportunities to earn rewards and participate in the Sui ecosystem.

At press time, SUI traded at $2.01.

According to data from DefiLlama, SUI’s total value locked (TVL) has reached new all-time highs, indicating a robust demand for its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The rising TVL highlights a growing interest from users and developers, further boosting confidence in SUI’s long-term potential.

The price surge is not just driven by market sentiment but is backed by tangible growth in the platform’s fundamentals. With both TVL and user engagement increasing, the positive outlook for SUI continues to build. Investors are now eyeing higher price targets as they anticipate further growth for the layer-1 blockchain in the coming weeks.

As SUI pushes to higher levels, its performance reflects both strong market support and underlying network growth, making it one of the most talked-about projects in the crypto space.

SUI TVL Signals Ongoing Rally

SUI is currently testing a crucial supply level around the $2 mark, a psychological barrier that, once surpassed, could pave the way for a surge to new highs.

Analysts are watching this level closely, as breaking through it would likely trigger a strong bullish move. On-chain data from DefiLlama supports this optimism, revealing that SUI’s total value locked (TVL) has reached an all-time high of $1.07 billion. This marks a remarkable 65% increase in TVL over the past 30 days, signaling growing confidence in the platform’s utility and long-term potential.

The rise in TVL is a net positive for the SUI coin, as it reflects the increasing adoption of the Sui ecosystem. As more value flows into the network, the demand for SUI tokens will likely grow, creating upward pressure on its price. Investors often view rising TVL as a bullish signal, suggesting that the platform is gaining traction and trust among users.

If these positive trends in TVL and overall network activity continue, a rise above SUI’s previous all-time high of $2.16 seems likely in the coming weeks. With momentum building, many expect SUI to achieve further gains, reinforcing its position as a leading layer-1 blockchain.

Price Action: Liquidity Levels To Watch

SUI is currently trading at $1.89, just 15% away from its all-time high of $2.18. The recent price action has been promising, with an 8% surge in the past hours. Many analysts believe that if SUI can break above the critical $2 level, the chances of reaching new all-time highs are very high. This psychological barrier could trigger a wave of buying pressure, pushing the price to new levels.

However, some investors are cautious, expecting a healthy correction before further upward movement. If SUI fails to break past the $2 mark, a retracement to support levels around $1.60, or even down to $1.45, would not be unexpected. Such a correction could provide a solid foundation for the next bullish leg, allowing SUI to gather momentum before attempting to breach the $2 resistance again.

Despite this, the overall sentiment remains optimistic, with many investors holding out for a new all-time high shortly. SUI’s recent performance and market dynamics suggest that the coming days will be crucial for determining its next move.

Traders and investors are showing increased interest in SUI, with many speculating that this rally could be the beginning of even bigger gains in the coming months. The buzz around SUI has been amplified by its strong price action, and bullish sentiment is growing.

Analysts are closely watching the price action, with some predicting that SUI could target significantly higher levels, potentially challenging its all-time highs around $2.20 in the near future. Such a move would solidify SUI’s position as a top-performing asset in the crypto market and could attract even more capital as the market looks for the next big opportunity. 

As SUI continues to gain traction, all eyes are on its ability to sustain this momentum and break through key resistance levels, setting the stage for a potential rally to new highs. With optimism building, SUI is one to watch as the market anticipates its next move.

SUI Bullish Pattern ‘Still Playing Out�/h2>

SUI has emerged as one of the top-performing assets over the past two weeks, fueled by optimism following the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts announcement. Analysts and investors are eagerly watching the altcoin, hoping that the recent surge isn’t just a bull trap but the beginning of a massive rally poised to explode.

Renowned crypto trader and analyst, Kong Trading, recently shared his technical analysis on X, highlighting the potential for a significant SUI surge in the coming months. He noted that the inverted head and shoulders pattern formed in the past months is still playing out nicely and could be a powerful signal for further gains. 

According to his analysis, the key level to watch is $2. If SUI manages to break past this resistance, it could trigger a wave of FOMO (fear of missing out) among traders, propelling the price to unprecedented heights.

However, Kong Trading also cautioned that SUI’s bullish momentum depends heavily on broader market conditions and macroeconomic trends. While the current setup is promising, the asset remains vulnerable to sudden shifts in sentiment or adverse market developments. 

As SUI approaches its all-time highs, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether it can sustain its upward trajectory or if it will face a potential pullback. For now, all eyes are on SUI as it navigates these critical price levels, with traders hoping to see a breakout that could redefine its market position.

Key Levels To Watch

SUI is currently trading at $1.67 after an impressive 140% rally from its early September lows of $0.75. This significant price movement has brought SUI to a crucial supply zone, where the price could face resistance and potentially enter a consolidation phase. Analysts and traders are closely watching this level, as breaking above it could set the stage for further gains.

If SUI manages to break past the $1.82 resistance, it would open the door for a rally toward its all-time high of $2.18. This level will be a major target for bulls, as reclaiming it could signal the continuation of a broader uptrend and attract more buyers into the market. However, a failure to break above $1.80 could see the price retracing to lower demand levels around $1.45, which served as a key resistance back in April.

This $1.45 zone is now expected to act as strong support, offering a potential buy opportunity for traders looking to enter the market at a lower price. For now, SUI remains in a critical zone, and its next move will likely determine whether the current rally can extend toward new highs or if a consolidation phase is ahead.

This rapid price increase has captured the attention of both investors and analysts, as data from DefiLlama reveals that SUI’s Total Value Locked (TVL) is approaching the $1 billion mark.

The rising TVL has fueled speculation that SUI could be on the brink of reaching a new all-time high, with many pointing to its growing ecosystem and increasing adoption as key factors driving its momentum.

Currently, SUI is testing a critical resistance level, which, if broken, could trigger a surge in price that may challenge its all-time high of $2.18. As market conditions continue to evolve and interest in decentralized finance grows, many are watching SUI closely for its potential to lead the next altcoin rally. 

Should the resistance hold, the price may consolidate before making a stronger push higher. However, if bulls breakthrough, it could set the stage for a significant upward movement, positioning SUI as a standout performer in the crypto space.

SUI Rising TVL Suggests Growing Demand 

SUI has ignited a wave of optimism among investors and traders who view the Layer-1 blockchain as poised to become one of the biggest winners in the ongoing bull run.

Key metrics and insights from analysts reveal a growing interest in SUI, driven not only by retail investors but also by institutions pushing its price higher. 

On August 5, during a broader market crash, SUI’s Total Value Locked (TVL) plummeted to $342 million. However, since then, the blockchain has staged an impressive recovery, with its TVL surging nearly threefold to $885 million, according to data from DeFiLlama.

TVL is a critical metric that reflects the total dollar value of assets staked or locked within a protocol. A decrease in TVL indicates liquidity is being withdrawn, while an increase, such as SUI’s 40% rise over the past 30 days, signals growing trust in the project and a healthier ecosystem.

This sharp increase in TVL is a positive sign, suggesting that SUI’s network is attracting more liquidity and usage.

Currently, the price of SUI is just 40% below its all-time high, creating an ideal setup for bulls who believe this project is poised for explosive growth. Many anticipate that SUI could be one of the breakout stars of this cycle, as its ecosystem continues to expand and investor confidence strengthens.

Technical Levels To Watch

SUI is now trading at $1.55 after a massive 60% rally since last Tuesday, showing strong momentum in the market. The price has increased with increasing volume, consolidating just below a key supply level—a sign of strength and confirmation of a bullish trend. Bulls must keep SUI above $1.40 to sustain momentum. Once a supply zone, this level may now act as a new demand zone.

Consolidating above $1.40 could drive the price to higher levels, specifically toward $1.71. Reclaiming $1.71, a crucial supply zone, would position SUI to challenge its all-time high. Breaking through this level would set the stage for further price appreciation and possibly a new ATH.

A deeper correction is possible if SUI loses its current price levels. Lower demand zones around $1.25 or even $1.17 might provide support. This would slow the rally, but the overall bullish outlook remains intact if the price stays within these key levels.
