SUI Price Rises as Bitcoin Recovers, Whalio Data Shows Mixed Flow
Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Bitcoin is regaining strength, prompting investors to seek altcoins with growth potential. The outlet highlights Sui, Hyperliquid, and Toncoin as projects offering different growth stories. Sui Network is identified as a strong Layer 1 project trading near $1.02.
The token gained more than 10% during the past week, showing growing interest from traders and developers. The network focuses on speed, scalability, and a developer-friendly environment. These features make Sui attractive for builders creating decentralized finance platforms, gaming projects, and NFT ecosystems.
A design aiming to handle high transaction volumes places Sui among newer blockchain networks competing for market share. Risk remains higher than with established names such as Ethereum or BNB. Greater risk often comes with greater reward potential. If investors continue moving capital into emerging Layer 1 ecosystems, SUI could benefit from that trend.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SUI, measured when this story was written up on 1 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
SUI is currently trading at $1.16, showing a 58.1% buy ratio in the last hour compared to a 42.3% ratio over the past four hours. This shift indicates that buying pressure is building in the short term, even as the 24-hour buy ratio sits at 46.2%. Volume delta data shows +$1,507,870 in the last hour, contrasting with -$3,295,674 over four hours and -$10,142,567 over 24 hours. The buy ratio represents the proportion of buy orders relative to total orders, while volume delta measures the net value of buys minus sells. Positive delta in the last hour suggests immediate buying interest, whereas the negative 24-hour delta indicates net selling over the longer timeframe.
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, the 7-day average buy ratio was 50.8%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 46.2% 4.6 percentage points lower than the average. This suggests that today is an unusual day with weaker buying pressure relative to the recent weekly trend. Spot volume for the 24-hour period was $131,998,082, which is 1.01 times the average volume. The coin saw a price change of +21.3% over eight days, with a total volume delta of +$40,559 for that period. While the short-term flow shows renewed buying, the longer-term context indicates a deviation from the typical weekly buying behavior.
