Crypto analyst Ali Martinez reveals the SUI token has just broken out of a triangle pattern, with $8 target imminent.
In a post on X, Ali Martinez confirmed SUI has broken out of a long-standing symmetrical triangle on the daily chart, signaling a potential bullish trend. The breakout now signals a possible move toward $8, following many months of market consolidation.
Sui Breakout Follows Extended Consolidation
The symmetrical triangle pattern began forming in late 2024 and remained intact until late July 2025. Notably, this extended consolidation reflects a period of low volatility and uncertain direction, which typically precedes a sharp move either upward or downward.
The recent price action shows that SUI has decisively broken through the upper boundary of the triangle.
Measured Move Suggests $8 Target for Sui
The breakout occurred when the price moved decisively above the upper trendline, around the $4.22 level. This move was accompanied by bullish momentum and a breakout candle that closed above resistance, signaling a shift in market sentiment.
As of this press, SUI is trading at $4.24, a 0.5% rise in the past day, increasing its surge to 55.7% in the past month.
Technical projections estimate the price target by measuring the height of the triangle and applying it to the breakout point. Notably, this gives an approximate upside target near $8.
The chart also includes multiple Fibonacci retracement and extension levels between $2.00 and $7.00. These levels may serve as interim resistance zones as SUI moves higher. Key resistance points are expected at $5.00 and $6.00, based on prior price action.
Similarly, a chart shared by analyst MartyParty shows SUI breaking out of an inverse head and shoulders pattern on the daily timeframe, with the neckline crossed near the $4.22 level.
The setup, considered a bullish reversal pattern, suggests a potential move toward $9.73. The breakout also occurs within a well-defined rising parallel channel that has guided SUI’s price action since early 2024.
Market Reactions and Caution Among Traders
However, not all market participants believe SUI will sustain its rally. In a reply to the post, one user raised concerns about the possibility of a short-term pump followed by a price dump, especially around token unlock events. Such events can increase sell pressure if early investors or project insiders offload their tokens into the market.
Notably, SUI faces a token unlock event on August 1. Specifically, about 44 million SUI tokens, representing 1.2% of the market supply, are scheduled for release. This release is allocated to the Mysten Labs treasury, community reserve, and early contributors. This follows previous unlocks of similar size in June and July, and a larger release in May.
Meanwhile, besides Ali Martinez, several prominent crypto analysts remain optimistic about SUI’s future. Michael van de Poppe recently described SUI as a foundational asset for the next market rally. Similarly, CryptoKaleo drew parallels between SUI and Solana, recalling how many had written off Solana during the last bear market.
