The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a sharp sell-off today, with Bitcoin (BTC) dropping below $98,000 and Ethereum (ETH) falling by 9 percent. This downturn appears to be driven by ongoing U.S. tariff wars and a rise in Bitcoin dominance, which has now increased to 60.23 percent.
Amid this market-wide correction, SushiSwap (SUSHI) has also suffered a significant decline of over 17 percent, currently trading around $1.0.

SushiSwap (SUSHI) Weekly Chart/ Source: @bitamberly (X) The chart indicates that SUSHI has broken out of a three-year-long descending triangle pattern and is now testing previous resistance as support. The price is currently hovering around the $1 support level, a critical area to hold for further upside momentum.
If SUSHI successfully bounces from this retest, potential upside targets include $2.20, $2.80, $5.00, and $11.00.
What’s Ahead?
As SUSHI is retesting this long-awaited breakout, the ongoing market decline remains a major concern. However, broader market indicators hint at a possible altcoin resurgence.
According to Jonathan , a prominent chart analyst, the altcoin market capitalization (OTHERS) is bouncing off a strong ascending support level and is poised for potential upside movement against Bitcoin.

Previous Bitcoin halving cycles have triggered major altcoin rallies, typically starting in January following a peak in Bitcoin dominance. If Ethereum recovers, it could lead to renewed investor interest in decentralized finance (DeFi) tokens like SushiSwap.
