Sui Network has captured attention in the cryptocurrency market due to its rapid price growth. According to analyst Gonzo, SUI is one of the most discussed blockchain projects in the current market. But as the hype grows, questions are being raised as to how sustainable this price increase is and if venture capitalists (VCs) are looking to sell their stakes.

The Sui Network uses the technology that was initially developed for the Libra (Diem) project, which was a Facebook project but was later suspended. This blockchain has a special language called Sui Move, which is based on the Move language that was developed for Libra. Move, which is comparable to Rust (the language used in Solana), allows developers to gain access, although those who are used to working with Ethereum’s Solidity may find it challenging.
Token Unlock Raises Questions About Venture Capitalist Influence
A key feature of Sui is its parallel transaction execution system, which increases throughput and allows for faster, cheaper transactions. This feature is similar to Solana in that both networks have chosen speed over decentralization. However, Sui stands out from the crowd by emphasizing the gaming industry and forming strategic partnerships in the Asian market, which sets it on a different course in the blockchain world.
Despite Sui’s rapid adoption and increasing Total Value Locked (TVL), concerns linger regarding the substantial amount of locked tokens held by venture capitalists. Recently, Sui witnessed a $114 million token unlock, benefiting early investors who acquired tokens at significantly lower prices, between $0.03 and $0.10 per SUI.
It is worth noting that on the 7th of October, SUI hit another milestone: it processed more transactions in a day than Solana. This was quite unexpected, as SUI had been recording an average of 10 million transactions per day for most of September. However, October brought a surge in activity, peaking at an impressive 118 million transactions on October 5.
Technical Analysis and Future Projections
The current technical analysis of SUI shows that there is a possibility of fluctuation in the near future. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 76.78, thus crossing the 70 level often used to indicate an asset is overbought. Consequently, a price adjustment may happen as investors take profits, which may cause a temporary decline.
However, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) gives a different impression. The MACD line is presently trading above the signal line, which points towards a positive trend. However, the green bars on the MACD histogram are gradually decreasing, which may signal a bearish trend if the trend continues.
Market analysts are divided on SUI’s next move. Some of them expect a pullback before another leg up, while others are looking for a break out to fresh highs. Seasoned traders are wary of a fake breakout, and market analyst Stephan B has cautioned against becoming the “exit liquidity” for the big players. He predicts that if SUI surpasses its previous all-time high, it may experience a pullback to support levels between $1.40 and $1.10 before bouncing back.
