$1.25 SUI—are you buying it?

Institutions have just staked 108 million tokens; zero-fee stablecoin transfers are live. In a week, it surged 25% to 1.40— but just when you think the bull run is coming back fast, the price pulls back to 1.23. With 60% of the locked tokens hanging over your head like the sword of Damocles, Koreans are going mad calling for trades, while Americans quietly unload.

First, look at the surface: volume and price are rising together— momentum is unstoppable.

Over the past 7 days, it’s up 25%; over 30 days, it’s up 40%+. With a market cap of 5 billion USD, it’s squeezed into the top 20. The 24-hour trading volume peak surged to 2.5 billion—3x the amount. The candlestick chart tells you: an ascending triangle has broken out— 1.00 has turned from the ceiling into the floor; the MACD prints a golden cross.

First thing: institutions aren’t here to play around—they truly staked.

SUI Group Holdings staked 108.7 million tokens in one go, accounting for 2.7% of the total supply. What does that mean? The circulating supply is effectively locked up by nearly 3%: sell pressure is reduced, while buy demand is still pouring in.

Big players like Grayscale and Fidelity may not have put their cards on the table, but the on-chain data is crystal clear— over the past two weeks, whale wallets have net accumulated more than 50 million USD worth of SUI. In Europe too, SUI ETPs are lining up for approval.

Second thing: the Mysticeti upgrade + privacy transactions—two aces for 2026.

Native privacy transactions are written directly into the core protocol. This is the key gap that lets SUI pull ahead of Solana and Aptos. Zero-fee stablecoin transfers are in place, USDsui has launched, and AI + DeFi integration is moving forward.

Third thing: a technical signal has appeared that you must be wary of.

The daily chart climbed from 0.90 to 1.40—up 55% in a week. RSI once spiked to 85. Now it’s pulling back to 1.23, and RSI is back to 57— is this the prelude to distribution?

60% of the tokens still haven’t been unlocked. The total supply is 10 billion, and only 4 billion are currently in circulation. On June 1, there’s also a small batch of unlocks.

On one side:

- Institutions staking and locking 2.7% of the circulating supply

- Two major killer moves: privacy transactions + zero-fee transfers

- TVL firmly staying in the Top 20, with the ecosystem still building long-term

- Korea’s FOMO sentiment is exploding, and trading volume is amplified 3x

On the other side:

- 60% of the tokens remain unlocked—long-term dilution risk

- Up 55% in one week—massive short-term profit-taking

- RSI crashes from 85 to 57—buying momentum is cooling

- If BTC drops below 78k, SUI may pull back to 1.10

Key level: 1.23—that’s the line separating bulls and bears.

Resistance above: 1.35-1.40 → 1.50-1.60 → 2.00

Support below: 1.15-1.20 → 1.10 → 0.90-1.00 (the golden pit)

For short-term traders:

Buy only after the pullback at 1.15-1.20, with a stop-loss at 1.08 (if it breaks, get out). First target: 1.40—take half off. Second target: 1.55.

For swing traders:

Wait until the daily close holds above 1.35 before getting in, and use dynamic take-profit to stay disciplined. Targets: 1.60-2.00. Don’t let a shakeout throw you off—SUI is a high-beta asset, volatility is huge; holding is what lets you take the big meat.

For long-term believers:

DCA with your eyes closed in the 1.00-1.15 range. End of 2026 target: 2.50-3.00. For 2027-2030, look for 5-10x. The bet is that SUI becomes the “third pole” after Ethereum and Solana. But around the unlock before and after June 1, there may be a sell-off—build your position in batches.

SUI right now is like SOL at the beginning of 2023—

Back then, SOL rose from 8 to 20; everyone said, “The FTX mess can’t be impossible.” So what happened? A year later, it hit 200.

1.40 isn’t the top, and 2.00 isn’t a dream. But the condition is: don’t get scared out of the trade during the pullbacks, and don’t stand guard at the top during FOMO. #Gate广场五月交易分享 #美国4月CPI上涨3.8% $BTC $ETH $SUI
