Over the past few months, the cryptocurrency market has remained relatively quiet due to the absence of bullish solid signals. However, this trend is anticipated to shift as October approaches. Historically, October has been associated with a revival of investor interest in digital assets, earning it the moniker “Uptober.”
The recent analysis outlines three central forecasts for October that could significantly influence investor sentiment.
The AI Sector Poised for Growth
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector has gained momentum for quite some time. Despite experiencing a relatively steady period last month, AI-related tokens have demonstrated strong performance. Over the past 30 days, the total market capitalization of AI assets has surged by 23%, rising from $27 billion to $33 billion as of the current period.
Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget, shared an optimistic perspective regarding the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the cryptocurrency market.
The top five AI tokens are among the 30 most significant digital assets. Bittensor (TAO), one of these top AI tokens, has recorded a 50% increase over the past four weeks. As a result, the AI sector in the crypto space warrants attention, as another potential 23% growth in market capitalization in October could elevate the total value of AI tokens to $41 billion.
Bitcoin’s Path to $70,000
Bitcoin’s price appreciated by 7.8% in September despite the broader crypto market experiencing minimal bullish activity. This surge brought Bitcoin’s value to approximately $63,658 at the time of writing.
Bitcoin faces two key resistance levels: $65,000 and $70,000. The first resistance level will likely be breached in the coming days, which may subsequently propel Bitcoin to the second resistance level. With $70,000 just over a 10% increase from its present trading value, this target appears to be well within reach.
As the "Sell in May and go away" strategy comes to a close, a substantial influx of investments from retail and institutional investors is anticipated in October. Matt Mena, Crypto Research Strategist at 21. co, expressed a similar sentiment in an interview with BeInCrypto.
“With the summer lull and broader macroeconomic challenges now behind us, institutional and retail investors are likely to re-engage with these assets, creating a strong impetus for Bitcoin to retest the $70,000 mark potentially. As uncertainties surrounding the upcoming elections gradually dissipate and the results become clearer, the market should respond positively regardless of the victor. Markets tend to perform well under conditions of certainty, and with reduced ambiguity, we can expect prices to regain upward momentum,” Mena explained to BeInCrypto.
Moreover, Bitcoin’s previous all-time high of $73,787 is not far from the $70,000 mark. Therefore, investors could see substantial profit opportunities if the expected inflows push Bitcoin above the $70,000 resistance level and establish it as new support.
SUI Poised for a New All-Time High
SUI experienced remarkable growth in September, increasing by over 113% since the start of the month. Currently trading at $1.70, the altcoin aims to solidify this value as a support level, as its previous all-time high of $2.18 is just 28% above its current price.
Historically, SUI has encountered significant resistance around its current price level, making it more challenging to establish this range as a solid support base.
However, considering the consistent bullish trend observed throughout this month, there is potential for the $1.70 price point to transition into a support level. Commenting on this potential, Matt Mena, Crypto Research Strategist at 21.co, shared an optimistic view regarding SUI's future growth.
“In the alternative Layer 1 space, I anticipate that SUI will continue to attract users and developers. This momentum is already evident, with SUI’s Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeding $1 billion yesterday despite a general decline in token prices. This growth signifies these platforms' resilience and increasing attractiveness as they gain a foothold in the competitive blockchain ecosystem.
Nonetheless, the possibility of profit-taking risks this upward trend, as investor sell-offs could disrupt SUI’s growth trajectory. If many investors decide to secure their gains, SUI may struggle to maintain the $1.70 support level, potentially leading its price to drop to $1.45. Should this lower support fail to hold, it would invalidate the current bullish outlook, thereby hindering the altcoin’s chances of reaching a new all-time high.
Final Thoughts
While SUI is currently demonstrating a strong upward trajectory and has the potential to convert $1.70 into a solid support level, its future performance will largely depend on sustained market confidence and investor sentiment. Although its increasing Total Value Locked (TVL) reflects a growing interest in the platform, the threat of profit-taking remains a significant risk. If selling pressure escalates, it could undermine the bullish momentum and push the price lower, delaying or possibly preventing the formation of a new all-time high. Thus, maintaining this positive trend will require continued support from both users and developers in the coming weeks.
