How these figures are worked out
Sources, inflation measures and what is left out
- Month-end closes from Binance, May 2023 to Oct 2026. Oct 2026 is still in progress, so its figure is the latest close rather than a month-end. Our history for Sui starts in May 2023, so longer windows are left out.
- Real figures divide by US CPI (BLS, via FRED) or UK CPI (ONS, joined to the ONS long-run RPI before Jan 1988) and are stated in Oct 2026 money. The M2 lens divides by the US M2 money supply (Federal Reserve, via FRED). Pounds convert at each month's GBP/USD rate.
- US CPI is published with a lag: Oct 2026 uses the Aug 2026 figure.
- UK CPI is published with a lag: Oct 2026 uses the Aug 2026 figure.
- US M2 is published with a lag: Oct 2026 uses the Aug 2026 figure.
- A return of 12 months or more also shows its yearly rate. Gaps in a source are left as gaps and never filled in.

- 60.7%
Sui is in the bottom quarter of its 52-week range, 65.0% below the $2.992 high it reached on 13 Oct 2025, and only 60% of the past year's closes were lower than where it trades now.

Price compared with each average. Bars to the right mean the price is above it.
Sui is 12.8% above its 50-day average and 21.8% above its 200-day average, so on both the shorter and the longer view the trend we measure is still pointing up. The 50-day line last crossed above the 200-day on 3 Oct 2026, the pattern traders call a golden cross.

Rules-based, from 400 daily prices. It describes the trend so far and does not predict the next move. How it works.
Why it sits in this zone
Sui is in the Mild discount zone with a Bargain Score of 48. Two or more of the looser buy-side conditions are met (Price 80% below ATH, greed high and longs crowded), which puts it on the discount side of the scale without the full set of signals behind it. The all-time high of $5.35 dates from January 2025, and the price is now 80% below it. Falls of this size are common for coins after a cycle peak, though not every coin recovers from them.
What drives the score
The largest weighted part of the score is price distress, at 0.76 out of 1, while derivatives positioning contributes least at 0.20. Only 41% of its supply is circulating, so future releases weigh on the token supply score. It has come through one full market cycle by the model's definition, and its chance of a new all-time high is rated High. Base-layer networks like this one compete for the same developers and users, and a chain that loses momentum has often stayed behind for a long time.
Where the cycle targets come from
The cycle targets of $5.62, $6.15 and $6.96 are anchored to the previous all-time high, because a reduced repeat of Sui's past range would not reach it, so the low scenario sits just above the old high, a 437% move from today's price.

Sui: questions people ask
Answers are built from the same live figures shown above, so they change as the price does. Last checked 14 Oct 2026.
What was Sui's all-time high in today's money?
Sui's highest recorded price was $5.350 on 4 January 2025, from CoinGecko's record of intraday trades. Restated with US CPI to Oct 2026, that is $5.642 in today's dollars. In pounds it was £4.298 at the time, or £4.559 after UK inflation.
On month-end closes, which is what our tables use, the peak was $4.123 in Dec 2024, worth $4.376 today. The latest price is 74.9% below the real high.
Has Sui beaten inflation since May 2023?
Our monthly history for Sui starts in May 2023. Since then it is up 12.9% in dollars and up 2.5% after US inflation, so it has beaten inflation over that stretch. Measured in pounds after UK CPI the figure is down 3.3%. Against the US M2 money supply it is up 0.7%.
How long did Sui take to recover from past crashes?
After the May 2023 peak of $0.9743 it fell 54.5% by Oct 2023, and closed above the old high again after 8 months. In real terms it took 8 months. After the Mar 2024 peak of $1.914 it fell 63.1% by Jul 2024, and closed above the old high again after 7 months. In real terms it took 7 months. After the Dec 2024 peak of $4.123 it fell 83.5% by Jul 2026, and has not closed above that high since. In real terms it has not recovered.
These use month-end closes, so intraday highs and lows were more extreme.
What is the price of Sui today?
Sui was trading at $1.046 when we last checked, at 00:14 BST on 14 Oct 2026, which is up 1.1% on 24 hours earlier. Crypto never closes, so we fetch a fresh price from CoinGecko every five minutes, and the figure here can be a few minutes old by the time you read it. At that price all the Sui in circulation is worth about $4.3bn, and $604.4m changed hands over the past day. Over the last month the price has moved +48.9% and over the last year −65.0%.
Is Sui overbought?
No, or at least not on the 14-day RSI, which reads 49.4 at the moment. We'd only start calling Sui overbought above 70 and it hasn't been there since 27 Sept 2026, while the last time it went the other way and dropped below 30 was 6 Jun 2026. RSI looks back over 14 sessions and asks how much of the movement was up and how much was down, so a reading in the 30s or 40s mostly tells us the past few weeks have been fairly even. Sui spent 13 sessions at 70 or above in the past year, which is one reason we don't treat a high reading as a cue to sell: in a strong run it can stay there for weeks.
What were Sui's best and worst days in the past year?
Going back to 13 Oct 2025, Sui's best day was 10 May 2026, when it rose 24.3%, and its worst was 5 Feb 2026, a fall of 18.6%. We measure each day from one daily close to the next in US dollars, so a spike that reversed within the same day won't show up here. Across those 366 days it moved 5% or more on 66 of them and finished higher 44% of the time, which gives you a feel for how bumpy holding it has been.
How has Sui done compared with Bitcoin?
Over the past 12 months Sui is down 65.0%, and since the start of the year it is down 25.4%. We put it next to Bitcoin because that is the obvious alternative for most people weighing up Sui, and it moved −27.8% over the same 12 months, a gap of 37.3 points in Bitcoin's favour.
How far is Sui below its 52-week high?
About 65.0%, so it would need to rise 186.1% to get back there. The highest close in the past year was $2.992 on 13 Oct 2025 and the lowest was $0.6511 on 18 Aug 2026, which puts today's price 17% of the way up that range. We work this out from daily closing prices rather than the intraday highs and lows an exchange reports, so our high can be a little lower than the one you'll see quoted elsewhere.
How far is Sui below its all-time high?
Sui is 80.5% below its all-time high of $5.35, which it set on 4 January 2025, and its all-time low is $0.3648, from October 2023. Getting back to the high from today's price of $1.05 would take a rise of about 412%. These figures come from CoinGecko and refresh every five minutes.
What zone is Sui in today?
The model places Sui in the Mild discount zone on a Bargain Score of 48, a partial set of buy-side conditions led by Price 80% below ATH, greed high and longs crowded. Rather than a recommendation, the label is a reading of where Sui's price and the wider market sit against the model's rules at this moment, and because the Fear & Greed value and the daily RSI both update at midnight UTC, just after midnight is when it is most likely to change. The 3-dot meter beside it shows where that zone sits on the five-step scale, from one dot for Expensive to five for Deep discount.
How long have Sui's past recoveries taken?
Sui has had two earlier falls of 50% or more in our price history: after its $2.08 peak in March 2024 it fell 74% and took 7 months to close above that level again, in October 2024; after its $5.29 peak in January 2025 it fell 88% and has not closed above that level since. Those are the only data points we have for this coin, which is too few to say anything reliable about the next recovery, since market conditions, supply and competition are different each cycle and some coins never regain a previous high.
What are the cycle targets for Sui?
The model starts from Sui's full range, its all-time high of $5.35 divided by its all-time low of $0.3648, which is roughly 14.7-fold. It shrinks that multiple with a decay factor, on the assumption that each cycle is smaller than the last, and applies it from the low. For Sui that reduced repeat would not reach the old high, so the targets are anchored just above it instead, at $5.62, $6.15 and $6.96, which puts the low scenario 437% above today's price. They describe what a reduced repeat of the past would look like and say nothing about whether that will happen. Cryptoassets are high risk, and you should be prepared to lose all the money you put into them.
Why does Sui have a Bargain Score of 48 but sit in the Mild discount zone?
Because the score and the zone measure different things. The score blends price distress, sentiment, positioning, resilience and supply into one number, while the zone checks whether specific conditions line up, such as Fear & Greed crossing a threshold or the RSI reaching oversold or overbought levels. With Fear & Greed at 57 (Greed) and Sui's RSI at 40, not enough of the buy-side conditions are met to move Sui further up the scale.
