SUN Weekly Analysis Jan 21

SUN is trapped in a narrow consolidation range within the main downtrend; while BTC’s weak performance creates additional pressure on altcoins, the 0.0202 support level stands out as the critical threshold that will determine the fate of the trend. Although the market structure gives accumulation signals, the distribution risk is high.

SUN in the Weekly Market Summary

The SUN token ended the week with a slight decline of -2.69% and consolidated in a narrow range at the $0.02 level ($0.02 – $0.02). While the volume profile remains low at 3.65 million$, RSI at 47.88 shows neutral momentum. The MACD histogram is balanced on the zero line, with a bearish structure dominant below the short-term EMA20. In the general market context, Bitcoin’s -3.84% daily decline and supertrend bearish signal necessitate a cautious approach in altcoins. SUN’s primary trend remains intact in the downward direction; however, 14 strong levels were detected across multiple timeframes (1D: 3S/3R, 3D: 2S/2R, 1W: 4S/3R). This week, testing of critical supports is expected for SUN spot analysis.

Trend Structure and Market Phases

Long-Term Trend Analysis

On long-term charts (weekly and monthly), SUN is maintaining its downtrend structure. The price is trading below EMA20 (0.02$) and EMA50; this confirms the bearish short-term filter. The trend structure remains intact without higher high/lower low breakdowns – the failure to surpass the 0.0218 resistance on the last higher timeframe strengthens the downward bias. In the macro cycle context, BTC dominance increase during the overall crypto market consolidation phase reinforces altcoin weakness. SUN’s long-term trend remains dominant downward unless the 0.0168 main support is broken; however, neutral MACD leaves the door open for a potential trend change. For portfolio managers, this structure emphasizes reducing position sizing and prioritizing risk management.

Accumulation/Distribution Analysis

The narrow trading range (around $0.02) exhibits classic accumulation phase characteristics: low volume, horizontal channel, and neutral RSI. According to Wyckoff methodology, this could be preparation before a ‘spring’; however, volume remaining low at 3.65M$ is insufficient for true accumulation. Distribution patterns align with EMA20 rejection and upper channel resistance (0.0205) – a scenario where large players could increase selling pressure. Market phase analysis shows 60% probability of accumulation (if support holds), 40% distribution (if breakdown occurs). Strategically, if the POC (Point of Control) in the volume profile shifts below 0.02$, distribution accelerates; otherwise, accumulation strengthens. This dynamic requires patient waiting for position traders on a weekly horizon.

Multi-Timeframe Confluence

Daily Chart View

On the daily timeframe, price is squeezed between 0.0202 support (score: 80/100) and 0.0205 resistance (68/100). RSI 47.88 is not near oversold but momentum is neutral; MACD on the zero line carries crossover potential. 1D confluence of 6 strong levels (3S/3R) is reinforced by secondary support at 0.0199 (63/100). Daily EMA20 rejection confirms the bearish short-term trend; volume increase is required for breakout. This view is ideal for leverage strategies when integrated with SUN futures market data.

Weekly Chart View

On the weekly, the downtrend continues within the channel; price is approaching the lower band (0.0202). 1W confluence of 7 levels (4S/3R) emphasizes the 0.0168 main support (60/100). Remaining below EMA50 and EMA200 preserves the long-term bearish structure. Weekly MACD is neutral, but the histogram has a negative tilt – a close above 0.0210 is needed for trend change. Multi-TF confluence suggests a daily resistance breakout could trigger weekly momentum; otherwise, downside accelerates.

Critical Decision Points

Main supports: 0.0202 (80/100, high confluence), 0.0199 (63/100), 0.0168 (60/100, major swing low). Resistances: 0.0205 (68/100, first test), 0.0210 (68/100), 0.0218 (64/100). Upside target: 0.0236 (score 25, favorable R/R). Downside risk: 0.0168 (score 22). To keep the trend intact, it must hold above 0.0202; on breakdown, stop-hunt to 0.0168 is possible. These levels should be cross-verified with SUN and other analyses. Market structure points to 0.0202 as the ‘key inflection point’ – this is where the direction will be defined.

Weekly Strategy Recommendation

In the Bullish Case

A close above 0.0205 with volume increase activates the bullish scenario: First target 0.0210-0.0218 range, extension to 0.0236. Long positions should enter after 0.0202 support confirmation; stop-loss below 0.0199. R/R ratio 1:2.5+ (risk 0.0003$, reward 0.0036+). Confluence increases if BTC recovers above 88,531. For position traders, scale-in recommendation on pivot above EMA20.

In the Bearish Case

Breakdown of 0.0202 is the bearish trigger: Targets 0.0199, then 0.0168. Shorts after 0.0205 rejection; stop above 0.0210. R/R 1:3+ (risk 0.0003$, reward 0.0032+). Accelerates if BTC supports (88,259-86,637) break. Downtrend intact; short bias with low leverage for distribution phase.

Bitcoin Correlation

SUN shows high correlation with BTC (%0.85+); BTC downtrend (89,083$, -3.84%) is pressuring altcoins. BTC key supports: 88,259 / 86,637 / 85,129 – if broken, SUN pulls to 0.0168. Resistances: 88,531 / 90,873 / 92,803; BTC recovery facilitates SUN resistance tests. BTC Supertrend bearish and dominance increase signal caution for altcoins – SUN longs should wait for BTC above 90k. Correlation analysis is critical for portfolio diversification.

Conclusion: Key Points for Next Week

To watch next week: 0.0202 support test, BTC 88k band, volume spikes. Trend structure downtrend intact; bullish on 0.0205 breakout, bearish on 0.0202 breakdown. In macro context, BTC weakness dominant – position traders stay in risk-off mode and wait for confluence. Strategic R/R calculation: Upside 0.0236, downside 0.0168. Patience is key for market phase transition; follow detailed SUN spot analysis and futures links for detailed data.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
