This consolidation is occurring alongside a noticeable decline in open interest, a combination that often signals weakening downside momentum rather than renewed selling pressure. <\/p>\n<p>While confirmation of a trend reversal is still pending, the current structure suggests that sellers may be losing control as the market searches for a base.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sui price key technical points<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sui consolidates at $1.31<\/strong>, a key high-time-frame support aligned with the Point of Control (POC).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open interest is declining<\/strong>, signaling reduced bearish participation and weakening downside momentum.<\/li>\n<li>The next major resistance is at $2.99, the level that must be reclaimed for trend-reversal confirmation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SUIUSDT (1D) Chart, Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\" target=\"_blank\">TradingView<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Sui\u2019s recent price action marks a notable shift in behavior compared to earlier phases of the downtrend. After an aggressive sell-off, the price has now stalled and begun to consolidate around the\u00a0$1.31 support level, an area reinforced by the\u00a0Point of Control (POC). <\/p>\n<p>This confluence is important because the POC represents the price level at which the highest trading volume has occurred, often serving as a magnet for price during periods of equilibrium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">The halt in downside momentum at this level suggests that selling pressure has been absorbed, at least temporarily. Rather than continuing lower, Sui is forming a tight consolidation range, indicating that market participants are reassessing value. <\/p>\n<p>From a market-structure perspective, this behavior is consistent with the early stages of a potential bottoming process, even as\u00a0SAGINT partners with Sui on a new tokenization initiative, adding a fundamental backdrop to the evolving technical setup.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most telling signals supporting this view is the\u00a0decline in open interest. A decline in open interest during consolidation typically reflects the unwinding of leveraged positions, particularly on the short side. <\/p>\n<p>This reduction in speculative exposure weakens downside momentum and often precedes either a range-bound phase or a trend reversal. In Sui\u2019s case, the decline in open interest aligns closely with the observed price stabilization, reinforcing the idea that bearish conviction is fading.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3218\" height=\"1244\" src=\"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1765903375_135_Sui-price-consolidates-as-open-interest-falls-signaling-weakening-downside.webp.webp\" alt=\"Sui price consolidates as open interest falls, signaling weakening downside momentum - 2\" class=\"wp-image-14440529\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SUI Open Interest, Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coinglass.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">CoinGlass<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Importantly, falling open interest does not automatically imply bullish continuation. Instead, it suggests that the dominant downtrend is losing strength. For a confirmed reversal to develop, Sui would need to see renewed participation from buyers, reflected by a\u00a0re-expansion in open interest\u00a0alongside impulsive upside price action.<\/p>\n<p>The next major level to watch is\u00a0$2.99, which represents the nearest high-time-frame resistance. This zone previously served as a key structural area and would likely constitute the first major test for any bullish continuation. A reclaim of the POC followed by acceleration toward this resistance would signal that new demand is entering the market.<\/p>\n<p>Until then, Sui is likely to remain in a\u00a0short-term consolidation phase. Such phases are common after strong trends, as markets digest prior moves and redistribute positions. The current structure resembles a bottoming formation, but confirmation will depend on how price behaves during future tests of support and whether volume and open interest begin to expand on upside moves.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What to Expect in the Coming Price Action<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sui is likely to continue consolidating around the $1.31 support in the near term. A reclaim of the Point of Control and a renewed rise in open interest would strengthen the case for a bullish rotation toward $2.99. Until then, price remains in a developing bottoming structure with downside momentum significantly weakened.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sui price consolidates at key support near $1.31 as falling open interest signals fading bearish momentum and raises the possibility of a developing trend reversal.
