SUI Crashes 23% As September Unleashes Market PanicIs A Comeback Possible?
With the market at an extremely volatile position, SUI bears pushed their advantage forcing losses on the tokens holders. Despite strong developments on-chain, SUI still flashed red with over a whopping 23% losses since last week.
On-chain, SUI continues to solidify its position in the world of DeFi. However, with the markets sway on the token, its short-term performance might be clouded by the fear, uncertainty, and doubt present in the market.

The resurgence of NFTs on Sui came despite the asset class being under the scrutiny of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which alleged that NFTs are securities and is willing to bring the regulatory hammer down on Opensea. How will this affect the future of NFTs and NFT-based developments on Sui in the long term remains to be seen.
SUI To Return To Manageable Levels After Market Pressure
Despite the overall bearishness plaguing the broader market, investors and traders should remain optimistic. SUI is currently trading right between the $0.71-$0.79 trading range which lies well on the 61.80% level of the Fibonacci retracement tool, marking the significance of the range when it comes to the long-term performance of the token.
The tokens relative strength index (RSI) still signals that the bears overwhelm the market. However, SUIs return to this level remains a bullish signal as the 61.80% level will provide the bulls with a strong support level to aid future price movement.
SUIs strong correlation with major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum will give the token the momentum it needs to recover in the medium term; that is if market sentiment flips to bullish within this timeframe. If the token stabilizes in its current trading range, SUI bulls should have the opportunity to retest and potentially break $0.96 in the long term.
