SUI has become the center of attention after being listed on Robinhood Legend and seeing a massive $300 million accumulation by a publicly listed company.
With record-low transaction fees and huge token volumes, SUI shows strong breakout potential. However, the key challenge remains whether it can surpass the critical $4.3 resistance.
A Chain of Positive Fundamentals
In short, Sui blockchain (SUI)’s story blends bullish news and heavy resistance levels.
Recently, SUI Group Holdings announced it had purchased an additional 20 million SUI, raising its total holdings to more than 101.7 million (worth around $332 million at the time of disclosure). In addition, Robinhood confirmed that SUI (and HBAR) is now available on Robinhood Legend, broadening access for retail investors in the US.
On the fundamentals, transaction fees stand out as the native token’s significant strength. The average transaction in August cost only about $0.00799. With ETH transfers on the Ethereum network costing around $1.1, this fee is nearly 140 times cheaper. The team explained in their blog that this fee structure was designed to remain stable across epochs, preventing spikes during network congestion.
Low and stable fees improve the end-user experience and enable high-throughput use cases like gaming, DeFi, or micropayments. Sui’s total token volume has reached $600 billion, marking a +7.76% increase in the past 30 days.
Market sentiment and brand visibility also show positive signals. Data indicates that SUI’s “social dominance” (a metric for discussion frequency) continues to rise and is now approaching the top 10.
Breakout or Breakdown at $4.3?
According to BeInCrypto Market, SUI trades around $3.3–$3.4 currently, still 37% below its January 2025 all-time high of $5.35.
From a technical standpoint, the picture is both compressed and noisy. Some analysts highlight an Ascending Triangle with resistance near $4.3 on the weekly chart. A decisive breakout could set higher-level targets, with some optimistic projections eyeing the $10 mark.
“The longer we stay below the $4.3 Resistance, the better, but it’s time to finally break out,” an analyst commented.
Conversely, on the 4-hour chart, others argue that the altcoin remains trapped in a Descending Triangle, showing weakness around the 50SMA. This could drag the price to test $3.42 and even the $3 zone — considered the first central demand area.
In other words, the market is awaiting its next “directional move.” A weekly close above $4.3 would confirm a breakout, while losing $3.42 increases the probability of revisiting the lower accumulation range.
