SUI Price Downtrend Risks $20M Liquidation For Crypto Whale

Sui token’s crash to $4.56 will liquidate $20M for this individual crypto whale, which has 4.1 million SUI, equivalent to $19.2M, and 100,000sSUI, equivalent to $470,000. The Lookonchain data reveal that the whale has deposited nearly $20M worth of assets on the decentralized lending protocol Suilend. In exchange, the whale borrowed  $14.4 million in stablecoins. With this, the crypto whale shows support for the token by betting on its further growth.

 

However, the current market crash dropped the SUI price by 10% today, threatening the liquidation of a position worth millions for this crypto whale. This becomes an unstoppable event, as the whale needs to return the borrowed stablecoins. Not only liquidation, the Sui’s decline to $4.56 could result in the buildup of a further price crash for the altcoin. Now, it all depends on Sui’s performance in the next few hours.

SUI Price Prediction: Will It Recover or Crash Further?

Sui reached a peak of $5.35 just two days ago amid high open interest and investor’s bullish sentiments. However, the rally was short-lived, and it crashed 15% from the prime, currently trading at $4.59. This drop threatens an individual whale’s million in liquidation. Meanwhile, on the broader picture, the altcoin still shows slight bullish dominance, as the crypto analyst Satoshi’s prediction shows a rising channel. However, the current SUI is closer to the trendline’s upper boundary. The price could decline even further if it faced resistance at this upper boundary.

Regardless, the analyst believes in the ascending trajectory of the Sui token’s price performance. According to him, this ascending channel flawlessly w/ price now pressing against diagonal resistance. A breakout past the $5.50 could lead to further gains.

Bottom Line

After hitting an ATH two days ago, the Sui tokens could face a massive downtrend with the $20M liquidation. As the SUI price struggles to breakout in the 24-hour timeframe, the liquidation will happen with the token attaining the $4.56 mark. However, the impact would not be limited to this altcoin only. The broader crypto market might face selling pressure. However, considering the ascending trajectory, some analysts still expect a bullish outlook.
