SEI Set for 40% Surge? Here's What You Need to Know

TL;DR

• SEI price forms a triangle pattern, signaling breakout potential if $0.345 level is cleared soon.
• Active addresses up 83% in 3 months, crossing 1 million users amid rising ecosystem demand.
• Monaco launch adds institutional focus, offering sub-second trading speeds on a decentralized platform.

Price Consolidation Sets the Stage

SEI was trading around $0.32 at press time, after a 5% drop in the past 24 hours. Despite the decline, analysts are watching the price closely. On the 4-hour chart, SEI has been moving within a symmetrical triangle pattern. This formation, marked by lower highs and higher lows, often leads to strong directional moves.

The token is trading just below the $0.33 level, which aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement. Analyst Ali Martinez pointed to $0.31 as a possible short-term dip level

Notably, this area is near the 0.382 Fibonacci line at $0.317. He added that a move above $0.35 could be the trigger for a breakout toward $0.44, which would represent a 40% gain from current prices.

New Infrastructure in Focus

Sei Labs recently launched Monaco, a new protocol designed for institutional trading. Monaco runs on a Central Limit Order Book model and is built to support high-speed transactions. The Sei Network blog reports that it offers execution under one millisecond and settlement around 400 milliseconds.

Gordon said, “SEI is building the infrastructure for a decentralized Wall Street,” describing Monaco as the first DeFi app directly incubated by Sei Labs. Another analyst, Byzantine General, noted that SEI “held up super well while the rest of the market dipped,” following the announcement.

Market Data Remains Steady
