Key Takeaways

  • The Sui blockchain and its native SUI debuted in 2023.
  • SUI is in the top 15 cryptos by market capitalization.
  • Our price predictions suggest that SUI could fall to $2.40 in 2025.

SUI, the native token of the Sui blockchain, surged in late 2023 and early 2024, surpassing $1 and reaching a high of $2.18 by March 27.

Despite a subsequent dip, the token rebounded in the autumn, achieving a new all-time high of $5.35 in January 2025.

The rally was driven by a significant increase in the Total Value Locked (TVL) which exceeded $2 billion.

This article will explore our SUI price predictions, history, and the blockchain’s unique offerings.

SUI Price Prediction 

Here are the SUI price predictions from CCN on May 19, 2025. It is important to remember that price forecasts, especially for something as potentially volatile as crypto, are often wrong.

The predictions will be made with the wave count method, while the minimum and maximum targets depend on the price movement during the specific year.

Minimum SUI Price Prediction Average SUI Price Prediction Maximum SUI Price Prediction
2025 $1.71 $2.50 $10.80
2026 $0.75 $1.15 $3.50
2030 $5 $14.65 $25

The most likely wave count suggests SUI is in the fifth and final wave (green) of an upward movement that started in October 2023.

If the count is accurate, wave four ended in April 2025, and SUI is now in wave five.

Since wave three extended, wave five could have the same length as wave one. Doing so leads to a new all-time high of $10.77.

The Fib Time Zone tool suggests SUI will reach the target in August.

Then, SUI could begin an A-B-C correction that lasts as long as the previous increase.

During these projected upward and downward movements, the wave count method gives SUI price predictions of $2.50 and $1.50 for the end of 2025 and 2026, respectively.

Finally, we use the rate of increase since launch to predict the SUI price at the end of 2030.

SUI has increased by 134% in the 750 days since its launch. Projecting this increase until the end of 2030 leads to a high of $14.65

Adding and removing 20% to this target leads to the minimum and maximum SUI price predictions.

SUI Price Prediction for 2025

Our wave count method predicts that the SUI price range will be between $1.71 and $10.80 by the end of 2025.

SUI Price Prediction for 2026

Our wave count method predicts the SUI price range between $0.75 and $3.50 by the end of 2026.

SUI Price Prediction for 2030

Using the rate of increase since launch, the SUI price prediction for the end of 2030 is between $5 and $25

SUI Price Analysis

The wave count confirms that the SUI price increase since April was impulsive.

SUI’s five-wave increase indicates a bullish long-term trend, meaning new highs are likely after the correction.

However, the rally likely ended on May 10, and the price is now in an A-B-C correction (red).

SUI Wave Count

If the count is accurate, SUI is in wave C of this correction, which could end between $3 and $3.36.

A shallow correction will take the SUI price to the upper limit, giving waves A and C the same length.

Alternatively, a deeper correction will take SUI to the target’s lower limit, creating an extended wave C.

Afterward, new highs are likely.

Short-Term SUI Price Prediction

The SUI price prediction for the next 24 hours is bearish. The price could fall toward the closest Fibonacci support at $3.26.

SUI Average True Range (ATR): SUI Volatility

The Average True Range (ATR) measures market volatility by averaging the largest of three values: the current high minus the current low, the absolute value of the current high minus the previous close, and the absolute value of the current low minus the previous close over a period, typically 14 days.

A rising ATR indicates increasing volatility, while a falling ATR indicates decreasing volatility.

Since ATR values can be higher for higher-priced assets, normalize ATR by dividing it by the asset price to compare volatility across different price levels. On May 19, 2025, SUI’s ATR was 0.77, a sign of high volatility.

SUI Relative Strength Index (RSI): Is SUI Overbought or Oversold?

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum indicator that traders use to determine whether an asset is overbought or oversold. Movements above 70 and below 30 show overvaluation and undervaluation, respectively. Movements above and below the 50 line indicate whether the trend is bullish or bearish.

On May 19,  2025, the SUI RSI was 56, suggesting bullish conditions.

SUI Market Cap to TVL Ratio

The Total Value Locked (TVL) to market cap ratio (TVL ratio) measures the valuation of a decentralized finance (DeFi) project by comparing its market capitalization to the total value of assets locked in its smart contracts.

This ratio shows the project’s utilization and links the platform’s health to locked asset value.

On Oct. 14, 2024, the SUI market cap to TVL ratio was 6, a sign of overvaluation.

CCN Strength Index

The CCN Strength Index combines an array of advanced market signals to measure the strength of individual cryptocurrencies over the last 30 days.

Every day, it assigns a strength score, ranging from 0 to 100, to the top 500 assets by market capitalization on CoinMarketCap, focusing on both trend direction and the intensity of price movements.

  • 0 to 24: Assets exhibit significant weakness, showing signs of sustained downtrend behavior.
  • 25 to 35: The price tends to move within stable bounds with minimal volatility.
  • 36 to 49: Assets begin a stable uptrend but without strong surges.
  • 50 to 59: Consistent growth with moderate price advances, building momentum.
  • 60+: Sharp price movements and high demand indicate more volatility and trend shifts.

The index dynamically adapts to rapid changes. For example, an asset experiencing a 100% increase within a short timeframe would see a sharp jump in its score to reflect the intensity of the rise.

However, should that asset stabilize at this new price level, the score will gradually taper down and align with the dampened momentum as the movement normalizes. ]

From the Sui Whitepaper

In its technical documentation or whitepaper , SUI says it is named after the Japanese water element. 

It says, “The power of the Sui element lies in its fluidity—its ability to adapt to and transform any environment easily. Similarly, the Sui platform seeks to provide a flexible network that you can leverage to shape the Web3 landscape.”

“The Sui platform is built on Sui Move, which derives the core Move programming language.”

Sui Explained

Mysten Labs founded the Sui platform in 2023. Mysten Labs was founded by former Meta developers Evan Cheng, Adeniyi Abiodun, Kostas Chalkias, George Danezis, and Sam Blackshear.

While BTC dominates the market, Ethereum’s system has helped pioneer further applications. It uses smart contracts and computer programs that automatically execute to support decentralized applications (DApps) and the broader world of decentralized finance (DeFi).

One issue people have struggled with when using Ethereum is its notorious lack of speed. While the blockchain addressed this by moving from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) one in September 2022, some quarters still desire to see a quicker, more efficient, and cheaper blockchain. 

How Sui Works

Sui uses various features to serve as a fast blockchain that can handle extra traffic. For instance, it uses horizontal scaling to allow transactions to occur simultaneously. It also features the ability to store assets directly on the blockchain, meaning that transactions are cheaper, at least theoretically. 

SUI supports the Sui blockchain. It pays for storage space on the platform and covers network transactions. Holders can set it aside or stake it in return for rewards. People can buy, sell, and trade SUI on exchanges. 

Is SUI a Good Investment?

It is hard to tell right now. SUI has performed incredibly well over the last few months, but we don’t know if its recent all-time high is a peak or another step on an upward road.

Remember, many so-called “Ethereum Killers” offer quicker speeds and cheaper transactions than Vitalik Buterin’s brainchild, but none have toppled ETH as the number one altcoin.

SUI must stay out of the regulators’ crosshairs and hope the market will support its growth aims. Its recent performance and metrics have been encouraging.

No matter what, if you want to invest in SUI, you will need to do your research. 

Will SUI go up or down?

No one can say for sure right now. Although many SUI crypto price predictions are optimistic, price forecasts are often wrong. Also, it is essential to remember that prices can and do go down and up.

Should I invest in SUI?

Before you decide whether or not to invest in SUI, you will need to do your research, not only on SUI but also on other similar coins and tokens, such as Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA). More importantly, never invest more money than you can afford to lose.
