With an increasing transaction volume and a growing user base, analysts predict that the SUI price could see a breakout above $2.17.

If you're looking for an altcoin that has the potential to generate some serious gains in 2025, then you may want to take a look at SUI. SUI is a Layer-1 blockchain that is designed to be fast, scalable, and efficient. It is also home to a vibrant DeFi ecosystem, which is rapidly expanding.

Recently, SUI hit a major milestone by processing over 500 million transactions. To put that into perspective, ETH has processed 129 million transactions and BTC has processed 40 million transactions.

As interest in SUI continues to grow, we could see some big price moves in the coming days and weeks.

Another analyst who is following SUI closely is ShwetaCW. She posted a technical analysis of SUI on TradingView.

According to her analysis, the trading day of April 18th for SUI/USDT started with bearish momentum, as seen in the 5-minute chart. Sellers controlled the market initially, driving the price down. However, the MACD indicator showed a golden cross at 06:45 UTC, signaling a shift in momentum.

This crossover led to an upward trend, as buyers gained control, pushing the price higher. By 08:20 UTC, the price entered an overbought condition, signaling a potential pullback. The RSI also indicated an oversold situation at 15:30 UTC, leading to a brief price stabilization at $2.0951.

At 19:30 UTC, a death cross on the MACD suggested bearish pressure, and the price began to decline.
