SUI's performance in early 2026 gave us an interesting trading case.

I observed the psychological barrier around $2.0 for quite some time. The price repeatedly tested near the resistance zone at $1.75, each time resembling a "ladder-like distribution" — for traders looking to capitalize on intraday volatility, the liquidity is sufficient, and the playing field is broad. Especially on the 15-minute chart, when the price approaches the EMA 200 resistance level and suddenly pulls back, that’s a signal to act.

My short-term strategy is as follows:

**Step 1, structure confirmation.** The price is stuck at the $1.75 resistance zone and cannot break through, while the MACD shows a bearish divergence. The combination of these two signals indicates that the upward momentum is waning.

**Step 2, disciplined operation.** I built a position at the support zone around $1.55, then patiently waited for a rebound. Once the price rebounded above $1.70 and the target was reached, I decisively closed the position. Don’t be greedy.

These two years of trading have made me increasingly certain — trading is fundamentally a repeated game of probabilities, not an exact prediction of a specific market move. In an era dominated by algorithms, rather than dreaming of a coin breaking new highs, learning to exit early at key resistance zones is actually more valuable.

1.75 that key level is indeed classic, I've seen this trick before on SUI as well. The rhythm of the distribution is well grasped. Last time, I also entered repeatedly at the EMA resistance level within 15 minutes, but I was greedy and held on for a few more candles, and then I regretted it. I really respect this probabilistic game approach; it's much more reliable than people who are all about "the next hundredfold coin." From 1.55 support to 1.70 settlement, it's steady and cautious, but sometimes I'm also worried about a sudden acceleration breakthrough playing me. The key still depends on discipline, which really tests human nature.

1.75 that threshold is indeed quite tricky, but the idea of settling at 1.70 after building positions at 1.55... is a bit too conservative, this wave of market space is not limited to that That's right, I agree not to be greedy for this small gain, but I think SUI's performance in the past few days still has a story. Let's wait and see if it can break 2.0 The stepwise distribution description is perfect, it completely gives the impression of large traders testing the waters I've been fooled and scared by signals like MACD top divergence... I really prefer those with volume changes That's why I like the 15-minute level, it can truly reflect the small moves of the main players, much more useful than the big bluff of the daily chart

1.55 enters the position and 1.70 exits, this wave of rhythm is indeed steady. Correct, don't play the dream of breaking new highs with the market maker, pulling out of the resistance zone is the way to go. --- Top divergence combined with MACD, I often use this combo too. But how long can the 1.75 level hold remains a question. --- The word "distribution" is used very accurately, it really feels like layers of unloading. There are still quite a few opportunities to catch intra-day volatility. --- Don't be too absolute about the word "greed," many people have fallen here. I've made quite a bit following your process. --- In the era of algorithms, still trying to accurately predict coin prices? Dream on. It's more reliable to exit early at key zones. --- I've looked at the 1.55-1.70 range several times, and every time someone takes over. Your discipline is indeed stronger than most. --- The ladder-style distribution is a very tricky perspective; most people simply don't notice this detail. --- The repetition of probability games, this phrase is worth engraving in your mind. Unfortunately, most people are still betting on the next market move.
