Sui Price Surges 44% For The Week

(MENAFN- eTrendy Stock) The Sui price has risen by 44.2% this week, marking the best performance in the crypto market during this period.

According to CoinGecko, Sui has been on an upward trend for the past 7 days, with Helium (HNT) following in second place with a 36.2% increase. Bittensor (TAO) comes in third with a 25.1% rise, despite a significant price drop earlier in the month.

The primary catalyst for Sui's growth was Grayscale Investments' announcement on Aug. 7 about the launch of the Sui Trust. This news also boosted Bittensor as Grayscale announced a similar trust for it, contributing to TAO's price rise as mentioned earlier.

Grayscale, being a significant institutional player, drew considerable attention to Sui, which in turn attracted other investors.

It's also worth noting the divergence in performance between Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins. According to Dune data, Sui has shown the strongest growth among Layer 1 (L1) coins against BTC over the past month, with a 34% difference.

Meanwhile, Solana (SOL) has underperformed against Bitcoin, showing a 4% decline over 30 days.

Whether SUI will continue its upward trajectory or if this rise is just a short-term reaction to the news remains uncertain.

A trader known as ZeO notes that Sui's 78.81% correction is nearly complete. According to ZeO, Sui could be one of the few coins to reach a new all-time high being a non-meme coin.

Crypto Tony believes that Sui's chart looks promising, emphasizing that the price should not deviate from the resistance level, which is around $0.9.

Another investor, Mister Crypto, highlights SUI's correction level and sees potential for a quick recovery.

However, some remain skeptical about Sui's future. Despite being backed by a strong team, many of whom previously worked at Meta (formerly Facebook), Sui's price has experienced a significant decline over the past 3 months.

According to CoinGecko, Sui's price peaked at $1.16 on Jun. 7, the highest point in the past 3 months. However, the price subsequently dropped and has struggled to regain the $1 level.
