Sui Token Falls 9% on Surging Volume After $2.16 Support Break

Attention shifts to Mysticeti’s performance upgrade alongside the Dec. 1 token unlock.

Overview

  • SUI dropped to about $2.10, lagging the broader crypto selloff, as volume spiked 628% above the 24‑hour average during a breakdown through $2.16 on roughly 99.13 million tokens traded.
  • Price briefly rebounded from $2.04 in a V-shaped move but stalled near $2.13 with fading volume, signaling weak near-term buying conviction.
  • From an October peak near $3.50, SUI has retraced into the low‑$2 range; chart watchers cite RSI divergence and see a potential breakout only if momentum recovers and $3.50 is reclaimed, with some projecting a target near $7.60.
  • The Mysticeti consensus upgrade is reported to cut transaction latency and improve scalability with near‑instant confirmations, which analysts say could bolster developer and user activity over time.
  • A scheduled Dec. 1 unlock of about 43.92 million SUI is expected to test market absorption, with reported valuations varying around $105 million to $119 million and raising the risk of short‑term selling pressure.
