cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that SUI remains an easy asset to trade despite the extreme volatility making altcoin investing tricky. The outlet notes that the price of SUI is trading at $0.72, up over 5% in the last 24 hours and over 11% in the last 30 days. A reputed crypto trader and analyst mentioned that investing into altcoins can be quite tricky due to its extremely volatile nature. This volatility is highlighted by the fact that altcoin prices dropped nearly 95% when the bull market ended late last year.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SUI, measured when this story was written up on 17 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows SUI trading at $0.7135 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 42.8% against a 4-hour buy ratio of 55.4%. The 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$264,355, while the 4-hour volume delta is positive at +$943,149, suggesting that buying pressure is building over the medium term despite short-term selling. The buy ratio indicates the percentage of volume coming from buyers, and the volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume. While the 24-hour buy ratio sits at 49.4% with a negative 24-hour volume delta of -$480,191, the cumulative volume delta for the 24-hour close is positive at +$1,472,819. This indicates that net buying has occurred over the full day, with 11 out of 24 hours showing net buying activity.
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 48.1%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 49.4% slightly higher by 1.3 points. However, the 24-hour spot volume of $45,298,693 represents only 0.87x the average weekly volume, indicating a quieter trading day. The coin experienced a price change of -7.6% over the 8-day period, with a total volume delta of -$11,805,046. Only 1 of the 7 days recorded net buying, contrasting with the 11 hours of net buying seen in the last 24 hours. This suggests that while short-term flow has turned positive, the broader weekly trend remains bearish with lower than average volume.
