SUI Holds Firm After Network Backlash—Can It Still Reach $10 in 2026?

SUI is trading near $1.77, down about 2.77%, as it continues to stabilise after a sharp drawdown from local highs. Despite the recent volatility, SUI’s activity remains steady, with healthy exchange volume and consistent participation from traders. Price action has been choppy but not chaotic—suggesting the market is absorbing headlines without panic selling. With the SUI price holding a key demand zone and attempting a rebound, traders are now asking if this uptrend could prevail for the rest of 2026.

The recent network outrage put SUI under a spotlight, but the market reaction has been surprisingly muted. That typically happens when traders believe the issue is manageable or when the selling pressure is already “priced in” after a broader downtrend. SUI’s response—quick communication, fixes, and visible efforts to restore confidence—helped prevent a deeper sentiment break. More importantly, price held its base instead of cascading lower, which hints that buyers were waiting to accumulate rather than exit. 

The bigger question now is whether this calm strength can persist through 2026, or if SUI will need a stronger catalyst to turn stability into a full trend reversal.

On the weekly chart, SUI is still capped by a descending trendline, and the Ichimoku Cloud overhead signals that buyers must reclaim multiple resistance zones before a sustained uptrend can form. Price is hovering around the key $1.80–$2.00 pivot, while MACD remains negative, though downside momentum is cooling. A bullish shift starts if SUI holds this base and reclaims $2.50, opening $3.0–$3.5 next.

For SUI to reach $10, the chart would likely need a full trend reversal: a clean weekly breakout above the downtrend line, price pushing and holding above the Ichimoku Cloud, and a strong follow-through rally that flips prior supply into support. 

SUI’s price holding steady through a noisy period is a positive sign, but resilience alone won’t be enough to drive a major 2026 rally. If buyers continue to defend the current range and SUI starts attracting fresh interest, the token could gradually push back into higher zones. But if momentum fades, SUI may stay range-bound until a clearer catalyst resets the trend.
