“Low trading volume suggests ‘targeted accumulation’ by whales or institutional players as SUI defies the CD5 index.”, — write: www.coindesk.com
The move put the token nearly 7% ahead of the CoinDesk 5 benchmark index, marking a strong divergence that points to token-specific demand.
Despite the price jump, SUI’s trading volume came in below its 7-day average—an unusual pairing that hints at targeted accumulation, likely by institutional buyers or whales. During the breakout, volume briefly spiked to 44 million tokens traded, a 168% jump over its daily average, suggesting coordinated activity at key price levels.
SUI, which powers the layer-1 blockchain developed by Mysten Labs, has drawn attention for its parallel transaction processing—a technical feature that enables faster performance at scale. While no major catalyst was publicly disclosed Friday, analysts have recently cited SUI’s architecture and expanding ecosystem as potential drivers for long-term growth. Some have floated a $5 price target by 2025.
Technically, the token has built a series of higher lows—$1.93, $1.95 and $1.98—culminating in the break above the psychological $2.00 mark. Resistance now sits in the $2.07 to $2.08 zone, with the next upside target around $2.34. A stop-loss just below $1.96 could offer a favorable risk/reward for traders betting on continuation.
Meanwhile, the broader CD5 index fell slightly, dipping from $1,731.12 to $1,729.63. A sharp drop earlier in the day briefly pushed the index to a session low of $1,700.39 before recovering. The contrast underscores SUI’s outsized strength in an otherwise cautious market.
