Buyback and treasury strength as supply reduction bolsters sentiment

The Sui Foundation has launched a $50 million buyback program to reduce SUI's circulating supply, with $2 million already repurchased, highlighting proactive measures to support token value. The network maintains a strong financial position, supported by a $379 million reserve, a $450 million treasury program, and a surge in Total Value Locked to $900 million driven by robust adoption and ecosystem upgrades. Recent SEC rule changes facilitate faster approval for crypto-based exchange-traded products, potentially benefiting SUI in the future.

Diverging momentum signals as weak trend tempers bullish indicators

Momentum indicators for SUI present a mixed picture. The daily MACD shows strong bullish momentum, but a neutral and weak ADX points to a lack of trend strength. The daily RSI is mildly bearish at 45.44, while the Stoch RSI and CCI are oversold — suggesting sellers dominate the market, as supported by the Awesome Oscillator’s strong sell bias. Technically, resistance is at the Kijun level of $3.5433, with notable support found at the MA-200 near $3.1933.

Sideways trade likely as upside potential remains constrained

In the short term, SUI is likely to trade in a range between $3.2779 and $3.2958, averaging near $3.2869. The probability of further upside is low, under 20%, making a sideways or downward move more probable. A bullish breakout would require a move above $3.5433, while a drop below $3.1933 could trigger more pronounced selling.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees SUI in a technically vulnerable spot, with price action capped below key moving averages and momentum skewed in favor of sellers. While the Foundation’s buyback and robust reserves offer some fundamental cushion, the prevailing indicators and weak trend strength keep the short-term outlook guarded. Kharitonov cautions that upside is capped below $3.5433 and a slip under $3.1933 could accelerate downside. "Base case remains sideways to lower for now — until $3.5433 is broken with conviction, I see little reason to chase the upside."

Previously it was noted that Sui Network attracted institutional interest and became a launch partner for Google's new AI payments protocol. Last time we reported that intraday pressure builds with expectations for consolidation amid mixed momentum signals.
