Sui Network Reigns October in Transactions Count

According to data from Artemis, Sui Network recorded 431 million transactions in October, which puts Sui ahead of some of the industry's biggest names

Sui Network processed a total of 431 million transactions in October, which is more than the combined totals of major blockchains like Ethereum, Aptos, and Ton. Despite this achievement, the SUI price has dropped by 2% on the day.

Artemis data shows Sui Network transacted 431 million times in October. In comparison, the transactions of Ethereum, Aptos, and Ton combined to an average of 319 million.

Sui Network’s performance in October highlights the network’s strong transaction handling capabilities and increasing adoption. The high volume of transactions on Sui indicates greater utility and appeal of the network, which could bode well for the growth of Sui.

As more developers and users engage with the platform, the token ecosystem expands with new decentralized applications (dApps) and services joining the platform. This growth, coupled with the increasing scarcity and fraction inventory of the SUI token, enhances the network’s utility and demand for the token.

Analysis of the SUI Price: Critical Net Inflows, Anticipation of a Rebound

According to data from CoinMarketCap, Sui attained new all-time highs three weeks ago, reaching $2.36. At the moment, the token trades at $1.85, showing a decrease of 21.57% from the all-time highs. The 2% drop today aligns with a broader sell-off in the crypto market as we approach the US elections.

However, the recent net inflows into the Sui protocol suggest a possibility of rebound. As reported by Artemis, Sui received $24.3 million in net inflows throughout October, which is more than Solana and Ethereum combined. The token has experienced a surge in interest, which is common with volatility.

As we can see, the Sui token is testing a critical support level at $1.7, and if this level holds, it could create a long-term bullish scenario. From there, Sui could rally up to $3, a new all-time high, as it would mark a 75% rise. The price is also nearing the lower Bollinger Band, which could be a point of price uplift.

The 20-day simple moving average is at the immediate resistance level of $1.96. If bulls can break above this SMA, it will confirm bulls are in control. On the other hand, if the $1.7 support fails, it will indicate complete bear control. The Relative Strength Index is at 45.98, indicating a neutral to bearish sentiment.

Bullish Breakout in SUI Could Result in Short Covering Rally

The red line shows the cumulative long liquidation leverage, which decreases as the price goes down, indicating fewer open long positions in lower price environments. This reduces the risk of cascading long liquidations if the price decreases further.

In contrast, the green line shows the cumulative short liquidation leverage, which increases as the price goes up. It reveals a concentration of short positions that are vulnerable to liquidation if the price rises.

With Sui’s price increase, we can observe a large number of short positions in the $1.85 to $2.00 range, suggesting that if the market were to break out to the upside on a bullish note, there would be a lot of short covering and thus a lot of speed in the upward momentum.
