An early session slipover in the SushiSwap’s SUSHI market turned into a buying opportunity for traders that were seeking safety against a dwindling cryptocurrency market this Monday.
The SUSHI/USD exchange rate climbed by more than 24 percent from its intraday low of $12.80. Traders spotted upside opportunities in the pair as its relative strength indicator flashed near-oversold signals. They raised their bids to offset their losses elsewhere in the cryptocurrency market.
So it appears, gains in the SUSHI market largely coincided with a plunge in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other high-cap digital assets. On the whole, the cryptocurrency had lost more than $25 billion as of 1105 UTC Monday, with Stellar’s XLM, Ripple’s XRP, and UniSwap’s UNI—a SushiSwap rival—notching the highest losses.

The rebound opened the DeFi token’s prospects to extending its upside move towards $17.61, its previous record high, followed by a run-up to the ascending channel’s upper trendline, which now sits near the $18.80-19.00 range.
Michaël van de Poppe, an independent market analyst, noted that SUSHI could also decline towards deeper levels if it fails to hold $14.50-14.75 as its interim support range.
“If that fails to hold for support, further downwards momentum is expected and confirmation of the bearish divergence. Looking at $12 and $10 next,” he said.
