- The SUI token is struggling to recover from its price lows.
- SUI has fallen below its one dollar peg.
- The Sui network recently celebrated its first year anniversary.
SUI, the native token of the Sui ecosystem, had an impressive start to the year, doubling its year-start value to reach new highs. However, the situation took a different turn when the token suffered a sharp decline on May 12, 2024, reaching a bottom low before setting sight on slight recovery gains.
However, optimism for SUI’s rebound has been cut short as prospects further dwindle, with the token now hitting a new low.
SUI Plummets to $0.9 Mark
According to CoinMarketCap data on Thursday, May 9, SUI, currently wavering at $0.995, has suffered an approximate 6% decline in the past 24 hours. The token’s current trading price marks its week-low value, dropping it approximately 14% from its highest point of $1.141.
The underperformance marks SUI’s third consecutive week of losses, which has seen the token drop a staggering 40% in the last 30 days. The downward trend, which commenced following the geopolitical tension between Israel and Iran, has dashed the initially heightened hopes for SUI to reclaim its $2 peg and surpass its all time high record of $2.18.
Sui’s downward trend is not isolated, fueled by its vulnerability to negative market trends and inability to swiftly recover. Additionally, the ongoing decline echoes the broader downtick across the market, signaling choppy waters ahead for the native token.
