cryptonewsland.com reports that SUI is trading near $0.73, a level identical to where its previous major surge began. The outlet notes that altcoin prices are surging as Bitcoin and Ethereum reclaim crucial resistance levels. Experts cited in the report believe Bitcoin will soon break past the $82,000 to $84,000 range, signaling the start of the bull market.
They also expect Ethereum to retake the $3,000 to $3,500 price range, which would allow altcoins to follow suit. SUI has risen by 1.2% over the last 24 hours but remains down nearly 11% over the past week. Despite this weekly decline, the asset is up over 6% for the month.
The report highlights that SUI has completed a full reset and is flashing another buy signal at this price level. It references a previous setup that resulted in a 958% price surge. If history repeats, the article suggests $5 is the first checkpoint, with expansion points toward $8 to $9. This potential move would represent a pump of over 1,200% from current levels.

Whalio data shows SUI trading at $0.7270 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 54.7%, indicating immediate buying pressure. This short-term sentiment contrasts with the 4-hour buy ratio of 50.1% and the 24-hour ratio of 47.3%, suggesting the buying momentum is fading over longer timeframes. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$109,682, showing net buying in the immediate term. However, the 24-hour volume delta is negative at -$2,414,894, indicating that sellers have dominated the flow over the last day. The Cumulative Volume Delta closed at -$1,533,837, confirming that net selling pressure has outweighed buying pressure in the daily cycle. Spot volume for the period reached $45,651,828 across 264,809 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.
