Sui Surges 30% in a Week, Reclaims $2 Price Level

Jakarta, Pintu News – Sui recorded an early weekly gain in 2026, surging 30% in seven days, with the token briefly breaching the $2.00 level for the first time since mid-November.

This rise marks a recovery phase after a long period of decline that lasted through the end of 2025, based on market and social data monitored during that period.

SUI Price Surges Amid Declining Sentiment & Social Dominance

Data shared by blockchain analytics firm Santiment shows that the price of SUI has spiked despite the continued decline in sentiment and social dominance of the token.

Since December 1, when the SUI price was around $1.31, the token has recorded a cumulative increase of around 43% to break the $2.00 mark recently. The price in December recorded a decline of about 69% from its peak on July 27, when it was close to $4.43.

Santiment’s graphical data also shows that the July price peak coincided with high social dominance and a lot of online discussion. But as prices drop in the second half of 2025, these social metrics also drop.

By early December, social dominance had fallen by about 95%, indicating a major decline in speculative participation as prices declined.

Recovery Occurs Amid Low Participation Phase

The latest recovery comes as the volume of discussion on various social media platforms remains low. According to Santiment, the current level of discussion on SUI is still very low compared to previous peaks, although prices have returned to levels not seen in recent months.

This discrepancy between price movements and attention levels is also in line with the widespread uptick in other altcoins, especially meme tokens.

At the time of the recovery, SUI’s market capitalization was recorded at close to $7.31 billion. The circulating supply was reported to be around 3.79 billion tokens, out of a maximum total supply of 10 billion tokens.

This breakthrough comes after the price stabilized within the demand zone in the $1.00 to $1.20 range, following several failed rally attempts earlier in the year.

As of January 7, 2026, the price of SUI was at $1.92, down about 1.1% in the last 24 hours. However, trading volumes saw a surge, rising over 70% to around $1.68 billion.
