SUI is having a pretty rough day, down about 8.7% over the last 24 hours and sitting around the $0.99 level. Sui has been doing worse than most other coins in a bad market, but this appears to be more a function of the overall sell-off than anything else.
There hasn’t been a clear headline driving this. It looks like a classic leverage unwind mixed with panic selling, especially once the SUI price slipped under the $1 level. That break turned a normal dip into a faster slide as traders rushed to cut risk across altcoins.

The Broader Market Sell-Off Is the Main Driver
The biggest reason behind the drop is simple: crypto has been in full risk-off mode. Bitcoin fell about 6.6% in the same window, and the total market cap dropped more than 5%.
In these kinds of conditions, high-beta Layer 1 tokens usually move more aggressively, and the SUI price has done exactly that.
Liquidations added fuel too. Bitcoin liquidations jumped above $350 million, and when that kind of leverage gets flushed out, altcoins almost always feel it more sharply.

The SUI Chart Breakdown Below $1 Made Things Worse
Looking at the chart, the SUI price spent most of the session grinding lower from the $1.08–$1.05 range before the sell-off accelerated.
The real shift happened once price lost the $1 handle. After that, the drop picked up speed, pushing the SUI price quickly into the $0.95–$0.98 zone. That $1 mark was a major psychological floor, so breaking it likely triggered stop-losses and forced exits.

Trading volume also jumped around 38%, which fits the pattern of capitulation-style selling instead of a slow drift lower. Technically, Sui is now extremely oversold, with RSI readings sitting at levels usually seen near exhaustion points.
Key Levels to Watch Next
From here, the next important support is around $0.985, which lines up with the recent swing low. If the SUI price can hold that area and Bitcoin steadies above $69,000–$70,000, a relief bounce back toward $1.05 isn’t out of the question.
On the flip side, if $0.985 breaks, the chart leaves room for another leg down toward $0.95.
Sentiment is still very fragile across crypto, with the Fear & Greed Index sitting deep in “Extreme Fear,” so volatility remains high.
What Comes Next for the SUI Price
At the end of the day, today’s drop in the SUI price looks mostly driven by broad market stress, with the break below $1 adding extra pressure.
Until Bitcoin stabilizes, high-beta altcoins like Sui may stay vulnerable. At the same time, oversold conditions are extreme, so if selling starts to cool off, a sharp rebound attempt could follow pretty quickly.
