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.
