Decentralized exchanges or DEXs have been registering significant activity over the past few months and SushiSwap is right up there with Uniswap. However, the Sushi token has held its own in the market since being criticized for being another scam project.

Over the past few weeks, its performance has spoken for itself but since the collective bearish pull, few questions have again been thrown in its direction.

SUSHI registers contradictory signs

As illustrated by glassnode statistics, the transaction volume of Sushi on a 7-day average has reached an all-time high of ~$17.5 million. The transaction volume refers to the volume moved on-chain for Sushi. Higher movement on-chain is indicative of higher activity for the token but at the same time, SUSHI’s median transaction volume has reached a 4-month low, suggesting that the median value of the transaction has dropped substantially in the recent past.

Statistics drawn from Sushiswap’s website indicated that the 24-hour volume at present is around $306 million, which is still far away from its ATH of $1.6 billion registered on 23rd February. The drop in volume has been consistent with the recent pullback but over the past 24-hours, the volume is up 10.34%.

In contrast, total liquidity has taken a hit over the past 24-hours, dropping 13.52%, declining from $3.64 billion to $3.08 billion.

SushiSwap: Expansion is the way forward?

The on-chain metrics have not meddled with Sushi’s plan as according to Joseph Delong, CTO of Sushi.com. Sushi contracts are now deployed on different platforms which include Binance Smart Chain, Fantom, Polygon, Moonbeam, and xDai chain.

The industry is currently speculating that the move has been inspired by the current surging gas fees on Ethereum. While Ethereum is on pace to settle over $1.6 trillion in terms of transactions in Q1 2021, many projects continue to look at other scaling solutions for growth.

While Sushi will possibly continue to gain more on-chain volume from Ethereum than other platforms, its expansion to other blockchains can be taken as a sign of flexibility in terms of keeping the activity consistent for deployment.

Chart analysis suggested that the asset has dealt well during the bearish onslaught and a renewed bullish momentum may allow Sushi to scale towards a new ATH before the end of March 2021. Currently, moving above the 50-moving average, a bullish breakout could be on the cards for the token over the next few days.

A new all-time high is formed near $34.50 and it seems like the price could rise further. An immediate resistance is near the $36.50 level. It is close to the 1.236 Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $33.17 high to $18.68 low.

The next key resistance is near the $40.00 level. The next major stop for the bulls could be $42.00. It is near the 1.618 Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $33.17 high to $18.68 low.

Dips Supported?

If UNI price fails to settle above the $35.00 zone, it could correct lower. The first major support is near the $32.50 and $32.00 levels.

The main support is now forming near the $30.00 zone. A downside break below the $30.00 support might open the doors for a push towards the $27.50 support. Any more losses may possibly lead the price towards the $25.00 zone.

Data from on-chain crypto information aggregator Glassnode indicates the number of Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges has fallen by roughly 20% in 12 months.

The data suggests investors are accumulating BTC and withdrawing them from exchanges into cold storage, creating a supply crunch.

On March 6, Glassnode also shared data revealing that coins purchased during 2021 were not moved at a loss during the late February dip, according to on-chain analysis.

The firm’s “Hodlwaves” metric, which measures the time since coins were last moved on-chain, also points to increasing accumulation activity.  Hodlwaves data published on Feb. 22 indicated 57% of Bitcoin’s supply has not moved in more than one year. However, more than one-third of said BTC have not moved in more than five years, suggesting that a significant portion of the coins may have been lost.

The increasing popularity of decentralized exchanges and DeFi yield protocols may also be driving the diminishing supply of BTC on centralized exchanges.

Evidencing strong demand for Bitcoin in the DeFi ecosystem, the total value locked, or TVL, of BTC tokenization protocol Wrapped Bitcoin has increased by more than $1 billion since the start of March, according to DeFi Llama.
