SUI price has been steadily increasing as the market’s interest level increases, both in spot and derivative markets. This is partly due to the fact that the platform has recently undergone a big change designed to eliminate any gas fees required to conduct transactions involving stablecoins, thus simplifying user payment methods. Besides improving its technical infrastructure, this is among the positive trends boosting its outlook in the short run.

At the time of writing, the SUI is trading at $1.14, marking a 6.50% gain over the last 24 hours. The SUI price action is supported by solid market activity, with trading volume reaching $1.29 billion and its market cap standing at $4.44 billion. This shows consistent attention from both spot and derivatives markets as momentum builds around the asset.

Looking at the charts from a technical perspective, the SUI price has been able to rise back above its 20-day SMA, while RSI is continuing to climb. This indicates the presence of buying pressure in the existing setup. Provided the SUI price is supported between $1.05 to $1.07, it can potentially move higher once again.
