On August 1, 2025, Sui released 76.27 million SUI tokens worth approximately $210 million into circulation, creating immediate selling pressure that drove prices down from over $4.20 to current levels around $3.49.<\/p>\n<p>This dramatic sell-off represents a 23% decline from the token&#8217;s recent highs achieved just days earlier. The market had been anticipating this unlock event since July 31st, when news broke about the impending supply increase, contributing to preliminary price weakness.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the recent bearish action, it&#8217;s important to note the broader context. Just last week, SUI had reached an all-time high of $4.2595 on July 29th, driven by strategic partnerships, institutional adoption, and the filing of a 21Shares SUI ETF with the SEC. However, the immediate impact of increased token supply has overwhelmed these positive fundamentals in the short term.<\/p>\n<h2>SUI Technical Analysis: Mixed Signals Emerge<\/h2>\n<p>The current Sui technical analysis reveals a complex picture as the token attempts to find equilibrium after the recent volatility. SUI&#8217;s RSI sits at 45.77, indicating neutral momentum and suggesting the initial panic selling may be stabilizing.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at moving averages, the SUI price currently trades below key short-term levels, with the 7-day SMA at $3.77 and 20-day SMA at $3.87 acting as immediate resistance. However, the token remains above longer-term support, trading above both the 50-day SMA ($3.29) and 200-day SMA ($3.18), which maintains the overall bullish structure.<\/p>\n<p>The MACD histogram shows -0.0868, indicating bearish momentum, though this may be reaching extreme levels. Sui&#8217;s Bollinger Bands position shows the price near the lower band at $3.45, with a %B reading of 0.0490, suggesting potential oversold conditions that could lead to a technical bounce.<\/p>\n<h2>Sui Price Levels: Key Support and Resistance<\/h2>\n<p>Based on Binance spot market data, several critical Sui support levels are now in focus. The immediate SUI support sits at $3.35, which represents the 24-hour low and a crucial near-term floor. Below this, the stronger Sui support levels extend down to $2.29, though such a decline would represent a more significant breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, SUI resistance appears formidable at $4.44, which now serves as both immediate and strong resistance after the recent rejection from higher levels. This level will be critical for bulls to reclaim for any meaningful recovery.<\/p>\n<p>The SUI\/USDT trading pair shows a current pivot point at $3.48, very close to current trading levels, suggesting the market is searching for direction at these prices.<\/p>\n<h2>Should You Buy SUI Now? Risk-Reward Analysis<\/h2>\n<p>For aggressive traders, the current SUI price action presents a potential oversold bounce opportunity. The combination of Sui&#8217;s RSI in neutral territory and the token&#8217;s position near Bollinger Band support could signal a short-term relief rally back toward the $3.77-$3.87 resistance zone.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative investors may want to wait for clearer signs of stabilization above the $3.60 level before considering entries. The recent token unlock represents a fundamental shift in supply dynamics that may require time to fully absorb.<\/p>\n<p>Risk management remains crucial given the 24-hour trading range of $3.35-$3.60. Stop losses below $3.30 would help limit downside exposure, while profit targets could initially focus on the $3.80-$4.00 range.<\/p>\n<p>The daily ATR of $0.29 indicates continued elevated volatility, suggesting position sizing should account for potential significant daily moves in either direction.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>SUI price remains in a critical juncture following this week&#8217;s dramatic events. While the $210 million token unlock created immediate selling pressure, the technical setup suggests potential stabilization near current levels. Traders should monitor the $3.35 support level closely over the next 24-48 hours, as a break below could target deeper Sui support levels, while a bounce above $3.60 might signal the worst of the selling pressure has passed.<\/p>\n<p><span><i>Image source: Shutterstock<\/i><\/span> <!-- Divider --> <!-- Author info END --> <!-- Divider --> <a href=\"https:\/\/blockchain.news\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Darius Baruo Aug 02, 2025 07:34 ** SUI trades at $3.49 after plunging from $4.20+ highs following massive token unlock.
