Typically, such an increase in TVL during a rally signifies SUI’s 35% price gains in the past week is firmly supported by fundamental demand for its core DeFi services. This may explain why SUI rose by another 9%, on Monday, while the majority of the top 10 ranked cryptocurrencies, like Solana SOL $159.1 24h volatility: 4.3% Market cap: $85.18 B Vol. 24h: $10.65 B , Ethereum ETH $2 974 24h volatility: 1.7% Market cap: $358.77 B Vol. 24h: $38.79 B all saw their respective intra-day gains subdued below the 3% mark.

SUI surged 10.44% on Sunday to $3.85, reclaiming the $3.45 resistance and marking its strongest daily close since mid-May. The SUI price rally coincides with a clean breakout above the upper Donchian Channel boundary ($4.03), where bulls faced a major supply cluster formed during last month’s peak.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) now reads 71.24, firmly in overbought territory, indicating strong momentum but also a potential for short-term profit-taking.
As long as SUI holds above the lower boundary of the daily candle at $3.50, the next upside target lies at $4.29, a level last seen in late April. The daily candle’s strong body and rising volume validate the continuation bias. However, if bulls lose steam, initial support is expected near $3.30, where the Donchian midline aligns with past consolidation zones.
A daily close above $4.03 could accelerate the move towards $5 in the coming sessions.
