SUI, the native token of the Sui Network, has seen a 13% pullback in the past seven days, halting its bullish rally. The cryptocurrency broke from a 1-month structure, fueling a bearish sentiment among market watchers, who foresee further downside for the token.
SUI has been on a downtrend this week, losing the recently gained levels alongside most of the market. The cryptocurrency saw a 5.3% drop in the last 24 hours, which has worried some investors and crypto analysts.
The token registered one of the best performances during Q3, leading the market as one of the few altcoins registering green numbers in most timeframes. SUI started the month by recording a 15% weekly surge, which fueled its rally toward its new all-time high (ATH).
Additionally, the token jumped 25% from its monthly opening, shooting past the $2 barrier to reach a new ETH of $2.35. However, its bullish rally was overshadowed by insider selling allegations on October 13.
Market expert LightCrypto alleged that SUI’s performance would be affected by insiders’ continuous selling, who had unloaded $400 million in SUI tokens.
Following the allegations, the cryptocurrency faced a 15% daily correction but remained above the crucial $2 support level. Since then, the cryptocurrency has moved sideways, hovering between the $2-$2.15 price range until today.
On Tuesday morning, SUI lost the $2 support, plunging 6.5% toward the $1.87 mark before recovering the $1.90 zone. The token’s dip represented a 13% decline from its price seven days ago and an 18.4% drop from its ATH.
Is A 30% Pullback Looming?
Following SUI’s recent price action, some crypto analysts revealed that another pullback seems to be looming. Crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa in on the markets’ current performance, as it slowed down after Bitcoin’s surge to $69,000 on Sunday.
Sherpa considers the market’s rally momentarily paused, highlighting that “most alts are either pulling back or consolidating.” To him, the tokens that recorded a strong run in September, including Bittensor (TAO) and SUI, have “a bit more pullback to go” before resuming their rally.
The analyst forecasted a 25% to 30% correction toward the $1.4 support zone or lower, detailing that there will probably be “plenty of bounces” along the way. Similarly, crypto investor Doji noted that the cryptocurrency broke “a massive 1-month stricture to the downside.”
The investor that the token dropped below the lower trendline of a broadening wedge pattern on its 1-month chart. Doji suggested that SUI will retest the pattern before dropping lower toward the lower liquidity spot at $1.4. Nonetheless, he expects “to see the middle of the macro range at some point.”
Despite the drop, SUI registers a 30.7% surge in the monthly timeframe, trading at $1.92 at the time of writing.

From a young age, Rubmar was curious about how languages work, finding special interest in wordplay and the peculiarities of dialects. Her curiosity grew as she became an avid reader in her teenage years. She explored freedom and new words through her favorite books, which shaped her view of the world. Rubmar acquired the necessary skills for in-depth research and analytical thinking at university, where she studied Literature and Linguistics. Her studies have given her a sharp perspective on several topics and allowed her to turn every stone in her investigations.
In 2019, she first dipped her toes in the crypto industry when a friend introduced her to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, but it wasn’t until 2020 that she started to dive into the depth of the industry. As Rubmar began to understand the mechanics of the crypto sphere, she saw a new world yet to be explored.
At the beginning of her crypto voyage, she discovered a new system that allowed her to have control over her finances. As a young adult of the 21st century, Rubmar has faced the challenges of the traditional banking system and the restrictions of fiat money.
After the failure of her home country’s economy, the limitations of traditional finances became clear. The bureaucratic, outdated structure made her feel hopeless and powerless amid an aggressive and distorted system created by hyperinflation. However, learning about decentralization and self-custody opened a realm of opportunities. Cryptocurrencies allowed her to experience financial control for the first time and expand her financial education.
Moreover, the peculiar nature of the crypto community sparked Rubmar’s curiosity about the other layers of the industry. As a result, she found a particular interest in discovering the diverse perspectives of investors, market watchers, experts, and developers.

She also has a passion for learning new languages and cultures, having set the goal to learn another six languages – currently attempting to learn Italian and Korean. Scrapbooking, paper crafting, and bookbinding are her biggest interests outside of work, constantly taking classes and attending workshops to learn new techniques. The rest of her free time is spent stressing over football matches and transfer market news or feeding cats –hers or stray.
In summary, Rubmar seeks to present entertaining and educational pieces to be enjoyed by everybody, aiming to report on the latest news and offer a unique perspective while adding a meme or a pun whenever possible.
