Bitcoin remains near the $43,000 level, with no clear direction from buyers or sellers. Here’s an overview of the market situation for Arbitrum (ARB) and Sui (SUI) as of Tuesday, January 16.
Arbitrum (ARB)
After reaching an all-time high of $2.4, Arbitrum underwent a minor correction. Currently, the asset is trading near the support zone of $2.0–$2.1, which has been tested twice in the past few days.
The most likely scenario is for the asset to resume its upward movement from this support zone. In this case, the nearest resistance level would be at $2.227, where a significant number of sell orders are concentrated. If buyers manage to surpass this level, the asset could continue its upward trajectory toward the next resistance zone at $2.33–$2.40, maintaining the potential for setting new all-time highs.
A deeper correction for Arbitrum is only conceivable if a similar scenario unfolds on the BTC chart. Under such circumstances, ARB could retreat to support levels at $1.97 and $1.85–$1.90.

Sui (SUI)
Over the past week, SUI has surged by 100%, reaching a yearly high of $1.45, where new resistance has formed. Currently, the asset is trading close to this resistance zone, and given the absence of significant corrections in the asset's chart recently, there is a possibility of a minor retracement.
However, considering the growing TVL in the Sui network, significant activity within the DeFi ecosystem of this blockchain, and the absence of negative developments surrounding the primary cryptocurrency, the most likely scenario is the continuation of SUI's upward trend. The next target for buyers would be the $1.5 price level.
In case of a temporary correction, SUI could retrace to support zones ranging from $1.22–$1.27, $1.14–$1.19, and $1.09. If the overall crypto market conditions remain stable, the decline in SUI should be viewed as a potential buying opportunity in the spot market.
