In the cryptocurrency market today, the ongoing correction that began last month has intensified further, with Bitcoin (BTC) dropping by 1% to trade under $93,000. This decline has been accompanied by a sharp rise in BTC dominance, which now stands at 58.38%, adding significant bearish pressure on altcoins.
Layer-1 tokens like Sui (SUI) and Sei (SEI) have not been immune to this downturn, with steep corrections over the past 24 hours. SUI and SEI have recorded daily declines of 7% and 6%, respectively.

Amid this bearish wave, both tokens are now trading at critical support levels. Their next moves could be pivotal in determining their short-term direction.
Sui (SUI)
$SUI is currently consolidating within an ascending parallel channel on the 4-hour timeframe. The recent pullback saw its price drop from $5.38 to $4.46, positioning it near the lower boundary of the channel. This level has historically served as a strong support zone and may again act as a potential rebound area.

If SUI successfully bounces from this support, it could resume its upward trajectory, with a potential target to retest the recent high at $5.26. However, a sustained breakdown below the channel support may expose SUI to further downside risk, with the next critical level at $4.00.
The MACD indicator reveals a weakening momentum, with bearish crossover signals suggesting further caution. Meanwhile, the RSI is currently at 28, signaling oversold conditions that may attract buyers and spark a short-term recovery.
Sei (SEI)
$SEI remains locked within a descending parallel channel, reflecting a broader downtrend that began after its March 2024 peak near $1.14. The recent drop from $0.48 to $0.35 places the token in a critical demand zone between $0.33 and $0.41. Historically, this zone has provided strong support and led to rebounds.

If SEI manages to hold within this demand zone, it could indicate that buyers are stepping in, potentially leading to a short-term rally toward the next resistance at $0.48. On the other hand, if SEI breaks below $0.33, the downtrend may continue, with lower levels in the channel, such as $0.25, coming into focus.
The MACD indicator suggests bearish momentum is persisting, while the RSI, at 31.66, shows the token is nearing oversold conditions. This could signal an opportunity for a relief bounce if buying pressure increases.
What’s Ahead?
Both SUI and SEI are positioned at pivotal support levels, and their ability to hold these zones will determine their short-term direction. Broader market conditions, especially Bitcoin’s stability, will play a crucial role. Bitcoin’s ability to stay above the $91K–$94K support range will significantly impact altcoins, including SUI and SEI.
BTC dominance, currently at 58.38%, is nearing a key resistance level within a falling wedge structure. Historically, rejections at this level have provided relief for altcoins.
If dominance is rejected here again, altcoins could see a recovery, potentially benefiting SUI and SEI.

However, if BTC dominance breaks out from this wedge, altcoins like SUI and SEI are likely to face further declines.
Conclusion
While both tokens are showing signs of being oversold, the technical setups suggest the possibility of a rebound. However, traders should remain cautious and closely monitor Bitcoin's price action and overall market sentiment.
