Have you noticed how quickly the mood in crypto can shift after a heavy selloff? One week everything looks broken, the next a handful of charts start flashing quiet signals that something might be turning. Right now three altcoins are doing exactly that. After October dragged prices lower across the board, Sui, Aave and Chainlink have each printed TD Sequential buy signals on their three-day timeframes. I’ve been watching these setups closely because they tend to appear when selling pressure is starting to exhaust itself.
Why These Buy Signals Matter Right Now
The TD Sequential indicator is not a crystal ball, yet it has a solid track record of highlighting moments when a trend is losing steam. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez pointed out the latest readings on November 4. All three tokens were attempting to bounce after the October decline, and the three-day charts suddenly looked more constructive than the daily ones.
SUI was changing hands near $0.92, AAVE around $131 and LINK close to $11. The broader market was still cautious, but these signals gave traders a reason to pay closer attention. In my view the real story is less about the indicator itself and more about how price reacts once the signal appears. Resistance levels still sit overhead, and that is where the next chapter will be written.
SUI Eyes Higher Levels After TD Sequential Trigger
Sui has been one of the more watched names since the October low. Price recovered from roughly $0.86 and pushed back above $0.90, trading near $0.92 at the time of the signal. That move put the token above a short-term support zone that many traders had marked as important.
Martinez highlighted the three-day TD Sequential buy setup and flagged $0.90 as the level to watch first. From there he sees potential room toward $1.11 and then $1.20 if momentum continues. The token was already trading above that $0.90 mark in the latest snapshot, so the immediate test becomes the middle Bollinger Band near $0.95 on the daily chart.
A clean break and hold above $0.95 would open the path toward the psychological $1.00 area and the upper Bollinger Band around $1.04. Beyond that the $1.11 and $1.20 zones become realistic. I’ve found that SUI often moves in sharp bursts once it clears a nearby resistance, so the next few daily closes will tell us a lot.
Momentum readings remain mixed. The Relative Strength Index sat near 44, above its own moving average of 40 but still below the neutral 50 line. That suggests buyers are stepping in without yet taking full control. Another analyst, Giannis Andreou, pointed to the $0.85–$0.90 zone as a key support area and argued that a reclaim of $0.98–$1.05 could bring the $1.20–$1.30 region back into play.
The level to watch now is $0.90. If buyers defend this area, the path toward $1.11 and $1.20 stays open.
Earlier in October, when SUI traded closer to $0.99, the same resistance cluster around $1.05 had already proven sticky. The fact that price has now tested lower levels and is attempting to recover gives the current signal more weight. Still, a drop back below the recent $0.8578 low would quickly invalidate the bullish case.
AAVE Faces $146 as First Major Test
Aave has also shown signs of life. After touching $123 the token climbed back above $131, posting a daily gain of more than 3 percent at one point. Martinez noted a second three-day TD Sequential buy signal and placed the first upside target at $146.
If buying pressure increases, he is watching for a move toward that $146 zone. Beyond it the next resistance sits near $176, where a trendline connected to the TD Sequential setup could act as a ceiling. Interestingly this latest reading followed an earlier signal from late October. By November 1 the token had already bounced roughly 16 percent from that previous setup, with $155 once viewed as a possible target.
The daily chart still looks more cautious. AAVE remains below both its 20-day moving average near $139 and the 50-day average around $150. The 100-day average near $130 is currently providing nearby support. The Aroon Oscillator reading of –64.29 confirms that bearish momentum has not fully disappeared.
In practical terms AAVE needs to reclaim the $139 area before the $146 target becomes realistic. A failure to hold $130 could open the door back toward $120. I’ve noticed that Aave often consolidates for a while after a TD Sequential signal before choosing a clearer direction, so patience may be required here.
On a more fundamental note, Aave recently began using Chainlink’s pricing service for tokenized stock collateral on its Horizon platform. That integration allows valuations to continue during weekends and market holidays, which is a practical improvement for users dealing with real-world assets.
Chainlink Approaches Critical Resistance Near $11.30
Chainlink has been grinding higher from a session low near $10.60 and was trading around $11 when the TD Sequential buy signal appeared. Martinez identified $11.30 as the first resistance that needs to be cleared. A successful break could open the way toward $12.71, with a further trendline resistance near $14 remaining a longer-term reference point.
The shorter-term moving averages currently sit above price. The nine-day average is near $11.31 and the 21-day average around $11.70. Both averages are still sloping slightly downward, which keeps the immediate outlook measured. The MACD remains negative at –0.4125 against a signal line of –0.3913, yet the histogram has begun to shorten, a sign that selling pressure may be easing.
Longer-term voices have sounded more constructive. Michaël van de Poppe suggested that LINK could eventually reach $20 in the first quarter of 2027 if the $10.60 support zone continues to hold. His view rests on the idea that the recent 35 percent correction from the September high has created a potential bottoming structure.
Breaking past $11.30 could trigger a move toward $12.71. The setup remains dependent on stronger buying volume.
Chainlink has also expanded its real-world asset pricing services, including a 24/7 offering that Aave has already adopted. That kind of infrastructure development often supports longer-term valuation arguments, even if short-term price action stays technical.
For now the nearest support sits at $10.60, followed by the round $10.00 level if selling returns. The next few sessions around the $11.30 area will likely decide whether the TD Sequential signal translates into a sustained recovery or simply a short-lived bounce.
Common Themes Across the Three Charts
What stands out is how similar the setups look. All three tokens printed the same three-day TD Sequential buy signal after a meaningful October decline. All three remain below important moving averages or resistance clusters on the daily timeframe. And all three need a clear increase in buying volume to convert the signal into a more lasting move.
I’ve learned over the years that TD Sequential signals work best when they appear near established support and are accompanied by a shift in market structure. Right now the supports are in place, but the structure is still transitioning. That leaves room for both a genuine recovery and another false start.
- SUI needs to clear $0.95 and then $1.00 to gain real traction
- AAVE must reclaim the 20-day average near $139 before targeting $146
- LINK faces an immediate test at $11.30 with $11.70 as the next hurdle
Perhaps the most interesting aspect is how these three names sit at different stages of their own narratives. Sui is still relatively early in its market journey, Aave continues to expand its DeFi footprint, and Chainlink keeps adding real-world asset use cases. Technical signals alone never tell the full story, yet they often provide useful timing clues.
What Could Derail the Recovery
Crypto markets rarely move in straight lines. A sudden risk-off move in broader markets, a fresh wave of liquidations, or simply a lack of follow-through buying could push all three tokens back toward their recent lows. SUI would look vulnerable below $0.86, AAVE below $130, and LINK below $10.60.
Daily charts still show residual selling pressure. Moving averages remain overhead in most cases, and momentum indicators have not yet flipped decisively bullish. That combination means traders should treat the current signals as opportunities to watch rather than automatic buy triggers.
In my experience the best outcomes after TD Sequential buy signals occur when price first consolidates near the signal level and then breaks higher with increasing volume. We have not seen that confirmation yet across all three charts. Until it appears, caution remains the smarter stance.
How Traders Are Approaching the Setups
Some market participants are already accumulating on dips, using the recent lows as tight invalidation points. Others prefer to wait for a daily close above the nearest resistance before committing capital. Both approaches have merit depending on risk tolerance and time horizon.
A practical way to frame the situation is to treat the TD Sequential signal as an early warning rather than a final green light. The real confirmation will come from price action at the resistance levels already identified. If those levels give way cleanly, the path higher becomes clearer. If they reject price, the signals will simply join the long list of failed setups that every market produces.
Volume will be the deciding factor. Thin volume bounces have been common during this phase of the market. A genuine shift in sentiment usually shows up first in rising participation. Until that arrives, these three altcoins remain in a watch-and-wait category for many experienced traders.
Looking Ahead: Key Levels to Monitor
Over the coming sessions the focus stays on a handful of clear technical markers. For SUI the $0.95–$1.00 zone is critical. For AAVE the $139–$146 range will decide the short-term direction. For LINK everything currently revolves around the $11.30–$11.70 band.
If those areas are reclaimed with conviction, the next set of targets becomes relevant: $1.11 and $1.20 for SUI, $146 and $176 for AAVE, and $12.71 for LINK. None of those levels are guaranteed, of course. Markets have a way of testing patience before rewarding it.
I’ve found that the most useful approach in these situations is to stay flexible. The signals exist. The support zones are defined. The resistance levels are known. Everything else depends on how buyers and sellers behave when price reaches those decision points.
October left plenty of scars across the altcoin market. The appearance of three simultaneous TD Sequential buy signals does not erase those scars overnight. It does, however, give traders a structured way to monitor whether the next leg higher is beginning to form. The charts will reveal the answer soon enough.
Until then the prudent path is clear. Watch the levels, respect the risk, and let price action confirm what the indicators are only suggesting. That mindset has served traders well through many previous cycles, and it remains just as relevant today.
