What made the move more notable was the accompanying surge in 24-hour trading volume, which spiked 11% above the 30-day average. That level of participation amplified the volatility, with fast-moving price swings exposing both bulls and bears to whiplash moves. The rejection from $2.82 and failed attempts to retake that level set the stage for more cautious trading in the near term, the model showed.

Support around the $2.72–$2.75 region proved durable, with price bouncing off that range multiple times. As volume cools and consolidation tightens, SUI may enter a waiting period as traders reassess short-term direction following the failed breakout and unusually active session.

  • Heavy selling struck at 08:00 as the price dropped 9.1% from $2.878 to $2.765.
