SUI Dips 6%—But Analysts Predict a Rocket to $7

SUI takes a hit today, sliding 6% as traders sweat over short-term volatility. But don’t dump those bags just yet—analysts see a moonshot brewing.

The Bull Case: Why $7 Isn’t a Pipe Dream

Despite the red candles, on-chain metrics and accumulation patterns hint at a bullish divergence. Whales are quietly loading up, and futures open interest suggests a squeeze could ignite the next leg up.

Crypto’s Favorite Rollercoaster

Another day, another ‘buy the dip’ narrative. Traders shrug off the drop, betting SUI’s ecosystem growth—and a dash of hopium—will outweigh macro fears. After all, since when did fundamentals ever crash a crypto party?
