Key highlights:

  • SUI dropped pressure after a network stall halted transactions for hours, raising reliability concerns.
  • The SUI price tests the key $0.90 zone, with $1.00 still acting as strong resistance.
  • Market outlook stays fragile, with traders watching whether support holds or breaks.

SUI has come under pressure after a mix of technical weakness and a sudden network outage rattled trader confidence. Sui’s mainnet stalled for over two hours, pausing block production and stopping transactions across the network, as reported by Coin Bureau. 

In spite of this fact, there were still operational RPC nodes, but the crucial settlement layer failed to perform, and this problem is crucially significant for any Layer-1 blockchain. On top of all the existing concerns, the SUI price had been already trying its luck in the range of $0.90-$0.91.

SUI pressure builds around the $0.90 zone

SUI has been in a long corrective phase after its run toward $4.00 in 2024–2025. From that point on, according to the chart by 2xnMore, it is clearly seen that it started drawing lower highs and lower lows, failing each time it tried to retrace to the $1.00 area. This area was previously acting as solid support, but now turned resistance.

The latest drop pushed SUI back below $1.00 on a daily close, and it now sits right on the $0.90 area again. This level is important because it has acted as a reaction point multiple times during recent months. If it holds, traders may try to stabilize the price. If it fails, attention quickly shifts toward $0.80–$0.75, where the next liquidity pockets sit.

Momentum indicators still don’t show a clear trend change. MACD is only just starting to turn, but the signal is weak. RSI sits in the 37–49 range, which tells us the market isn’t fully oversold yet. That leaves room for more movement in either direction, depending on how buyers and sellers respond around support.

Network issues add extra pressure

The mainnet stall didn’t start the downtrend, but it definitely added fuel to it. When a blockchain pauses transactions, traders tend to reduce exposure quickly, especially in assets already stuck in a longer correction. SUI is still down roughly 75%–77% from its all-time high near $4.00, which already places it in a deep drawdown phase.

This kind of environment often becomes a test of confidence. On one side, the chart shows repeated rejection at $1.00 and no strong breakout structure yet. On the other side, $0.90 continues to act as a key line in the sand that buyers have defended multiple times.

Where could SUI go next?

Right now, everything comes down to the $0.90 level. If the SUI price remains above this level, then there could be an attempt to recover towards the levels of $1.00 and perhaps $1.10; however, this will require more powerful momentum than is currently evident.

If $0.90 breaks, the next area of interest sits between $0.80 and $0.75. That zone lines up with earlier liquidity and would likely attract attention from both traders and longer-term buyers looking for deeper value entries.

According to CoinCodex’s 1-month SUI price prediction, the price could move toward $0.6969, which is below the current level and points to a possible deeper retracement scenario, even as some analysts still leave room for a recovery attempt if the $0.90 support zone holds and buyers regain momentum after the recent network disruption.
