  • SUI is currently hovering near the $1.80 mark.
  • Its 24-hour trading volume has dropped by 32%.

With a 2.02% plunge, the global crypto market opened a new trading day, and the majority of the digital assets have charted in red. The broader market sentiment is neutral, as the Fear and Greed Index value holds at 43. As the bears are in control, the popular assets like BTC and ETH are currently hovering on the downside. 

Meanwhile, SUI has registered a loss of 3.91% in value over the last 24 hours. In the early hours, the asset traded at a high range of $1.96, and with the bearish encounter in the market, the price has fallen to a low level of $1.79. If the bears gained more traction, the price would see intensified losses. 

According to the CoinMarketCap data, the active bears have pulled the SUI price back, trading at the $1.80 zone, with its market cap settled at $6.79 billion. In addition, the daily trading volume of the asset has dropped by 32.87%, likely reaching the $1.07 billion mark. 

Technical Chart Points to Growing Downside Pressure on SUI

On the 4-hour chart, the SUI/USDT pair shows a bearish trading pattern, which might signal a continuous downtrend. Several red candles have formed, and the price could slip to the $1.70 support range. Further loss will trigger the emergence of the death cross. On the other hand, unless SUI convincingly climbs and breaks the $1.90 resistance and eventually goes above the $2 mark, the broader downtrend could continue.

SUI’s MACD line is below the signal line, suggesting a bearish outlook. The current price strength is weaker than the longer-term trend, and this is a sign to stay cautious, as the gap between the lines is widening. Besides, the CMF value is slightly negative, at -0.07, indicating a mild capital outflow from the asset. The move is not strong enough for an aggressive distribution, reflecting weak momentum, rather than a clear downtrend. 

Moreover, the daily RSI of 51.49 shows that the asset is in a neutral zone, neither bulls nor bears in clear control. Notably, this level brings in consolidation or a pause in price action. SUI’s BBP reading of -0.0747 is close to zero, which implies slight bearish dominance in the market. The momentum is weak rather than strongly bearish. It aligns with sideways or consolidation phases, where price direction is not established yet.

Non-Opioid Painkillers Have Struggled–Cannabis Drugs Might Be The Solution

Non-Opioid Painkillers Have Struggled–Cannabis Drugs Might Be The Solution

The post Non-Opioid Painkillers Have Struggled–Cannabis Drugs Might Be The Solution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In this week’s edition of InnovationRx, we look at possible pain treatments from cannabis, risks of new vaccine restrictions, virtual clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic, GSK’s $30 billion U.S. manufacturing commitment, and more. To get it in your inbox, subscribe here. Despite their addictive nature, opioids continue to be a major treatment for pain due to a lack of effective alternatives. In an effort to boost new drugs, the FDA released new guidelines for non-opioid painkillers last week. But making these drugs hasn’t been easy. Vertex Pharmaceuticals received FDA approval for its non-opioid Journavx in January, then abandoned a next generation drug after a failed clinical trial earlier this summer. Acadia similarly abandoned a promising candidate after a failed trial in 2022. One possible basis for non-opioids might be cannabis. Earlier this year, researchers at Washington University at St. Louis and Stanford published a study showing that a cannabis-derived compound successfully eased pain in mice with minimal side effects. Munich-based pharmaceutical company Vertanical is perhaps the furthest along in this quest. It is developing a cannabinoid-based extract to treat chronic pain it hopes will soon become an approved medicine, first in the European Union and eventually in the United States. The drug, currently called Ver-01, packs enough low levels of cannabinoids (including THC) to relieve pain, but not so much that patients get high. Founder Clemens Fischer, a 50-year-old medical doctor and serial pharmaceutical and supplement entrepreneur, hopes it will become the first cannabis-based painkiller prescribed by physicians and covered by insurance. Fischer founded Vertanical, with his business partner Madlena Hohlefelder, in 2017, and has invested more than $250 million of his own money in it. With a cannabis cultivation site and drug manufacturing plant in Denmark, Vertanical has successfully passed phase III clinical trials in Germany and expects…
