All about SUI’s next challenge after altcoin’s latest 7% hike

At the time of writing, Sui [SUI] had rallied by 7.3% in just 24 hours. The rally came alongside the wider market relief as Bitcoin’s [BTC] price pushed its way back above $70k once more.

According to CryptoQuant, the spot trading volume behind SUI has been falling since October 2025. Despite the 64% hike in daily trading volume, the longer-term spot volume trends seemed to be in a cooling phase.

Moreover, the 3-month spot taker CVD shifted from taker buyer-dominated to neutral. The falling cumulative market orders to buy SUI were not new, but have been ongoing for months.

The decline in spot trading volume since September was also reflected in the spot volume bubble map.

What does this mean for SUI prices?

The weekly chart highlighted the bearish trend in place since October 2025. Like many other altcoins and even Bitcoin, the selling pressure on SUI has not relented much in recent months.

There were sporadic periods of buying that saw a price bounce, but as the OBV revealed, selling volume was the dominant force.

Also, the RSI was below neutral 50 to underline that a downtrend was in progress. 

Exploring short-term SUI trends

There have been no notable trends recently. Over the past month, SUI has traded within a rough range whose extremes were at $0.85 and $1.01. The local supply zone at $0.97-$1.0 was tested last week. It was also being challenged at press time.

A breakout beyond $1.05 is needed to shift the longer-term trend bullishly. Such a breakout could see SUI fall back below the $1-level if the rally is not borne by sustained spot demand.

Final Summary

• SUI witnessed a sharp bounce in the last 24 hours to gain by 7%, with a 64% increase in daily trading volume.
• This surge did little to change the big picture though, with the $1-$1.05 supply zone still being difficult to overcome.
