[Position size + spot funds divergence + whales/large holders]
SUI is currently around 0.72. It’s pulled up about ten percentage points in the past 24 hours, and this short-term bounce has been pretty fierce. But I wouldn’t chase from where I’m standing.
The strong points are very straightforward: contract trading volume doubled in about seven hours, the aggressive buy side accounts for 57%, and open interest is climbing along with the price— the long side quadrant is locked down hard. The 15-minute, 4-hour, and daily directions are all trending up. Price is running along the moving averages, and the 3-day low at 0.634 has long been left behind.
The problem is the spot market. Over the past three hours, spot net inflow is negative—out of the 12 candles, not a single one is positive. Even large orders are net outflows. The price is rising, but the money is actually withdrawing—this looks more like contract-driven leverage pushing it up, not real “cash on the table” from spot buyers. Over the last seven hours, the whale accounts’ long ratio dropped by 11%, and the order book’s sell-side thickness is approaching twice that of the buy side.
Looking longer-term, it’s even more awkward: price is still below the 10/50/200-day moving averages, and the MACD bearish crossover hasn’t finished playing out. This looks more like a repair after oversold conditions than a trend reversal. There are positives, though—Sui has launched tokenized fixed-income products, and the RWA institutional narrative is heating up again, so sentiment is leaning slightly bullish.
But circulating supply is only 40%. The worry about token oversupply has been persistent, and the price is also perfectly stalling right at the 3-day high of 0.72, which is a key resistance level.
So my stance: wait and watch. The bounce is real, but the sustainability of a market propped up mainly by contracts is questionable. Chasing longs here doesn’t offer great value. Either wait for a pullback and a solid hold, or wait until spot funds turn positive again.
