Analyst Crypto Patel posted a technical breakdown on X, arguing that SUI could deliver a 25x move. He pointed to price sitting in the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement zone and noted that the current setup mirrors the 2024 accumulation phase, which led to a 1000%+ rally. His price targets are $1.80, $4.00, $10, and $20, with the trade invalid on a weekly close below $0.50.

Technical Picture
The Relative Strength Index has moved above 60, showing growing buying pressure. The MACD has printed a bullish crossover with a rising histogram.
Resistance is clustered between $0.94 and $0.97. A clean break above that zone opens the door to a test of $1.00, then $1.05 and $1.10. Immediate support sits at $0.93, with stronger structural support at $0.88–$0.90.
Earlier data from May 1 showed large traders holding a net long bias, with nearly two-thirds of top accounts positioned for gains. Funding rates were slightly negative and open interest was declining, pointing to reduced leverage in the market.
Network Data
SUI’s total value locked sits at $552.84 million, up 1.04% in 24 hours. Stablecoin market cap on the network is around $550 million, reflecting solid liquidity. DEX trading volume reached $45 million over the same period.
TVL previously peaked above $2 billion, so current levels still reflect recovery from that high.
If the $0.94–$0.97 resistance band holds as a ceiling, the downside target near $0.85 comes into focus. A deeper breakdown could push price toward $0.70.
SUI traded at $0.94 at the time of writing, with the CME futures launch now live.
