- SUI traded in a volatile 7.3% intraday range between $2.71 and $2.92 before closing near $2.78, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model.

- Price action failed to sustain above $2.82 resistance and found renewed support near $2.72 after multiple intraday pivots.
SUI
experienced a turbulent 24-hour trading window marked by sharp intraday swings and heavier-than-usual trading activity. After initially plunging to $2.71, the token mounted a brief rally toward $2.92 before encountering strong resistance near $2.82. That zone capped the recovery, triggering a swift reversal that dragged prices back toward the $2.78–$2.79 area.
What made the move more notable was the accompanying surge in 24-hour trading volume, which spiked 11% above the 30-day average. That level of participation amplified the volatility, with fast-moving price swings exposing both bulls and bears to whiplash moves. The rejection from $2.82 and failed attempts to retake that level set the stage for more cautious trading in the near term.

Support around the $2.72–$2.75 region proved durable, with price bouncing off that range multiple times. As volume cools and consolidation tightens, SUI may enter a waiting period as traders reassess short-term direction following the failed breakout and unusually active session.
