Sui (SUI)

Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that SUI has pushed beyond a resistance zone that contained price for several months, marking a break from a nine-month downtrend. The token cleared resistance around $0.85 and previously traded near $0.82 before establishing a sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Buyers now face a crucial test above $0.9725, which previously marked the upper edge of SUI’s trading range. Holding above that barrier could strengthen the recent recovery, while new stablecoin features add another layer to the Sui story.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SUI, measured when this story was written up on 25 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
SUI is currently trading at $1.01, showing strong immediate momentum with a 1-hour buy ratio of 66.5% compared to a 56.0% ratio over the last 4 hours. This indicates that buying pressure is building in the short term, as the 1-hour ratio is significantly higher than the 24-hour average of 54.6%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at $1,016,880, while the 4-hour delta sits at $1,130,453, showing consistent net inflows. Over the last 24 hours, the cumulative volume delta reached $6,972,434, with the CVD closing at $8,378,144. Net buying occurred for 18 of the last 24 hours, supporting a spot volume of $74,510,417 across 644,963 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.7% sits at the 54th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.4% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SUI, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, SUI saw a 7-day average buy ratio of 50.1%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 54.6% an unusual day with 4.5 points more buying activity than the weekly average. Price increased by 36.8% over the last 8 days, driven by net buying on 4 of those 7 days. The total volume delta for the 8-day period was $13,765,775, while current 24-hour spot volume is 0.62 times the weekly average. This suggests that while the price surge is significant, the current day's volume is lower than the recent weekly norm.
