At this price, the token remains nearly 35% above its value in the past three months.<\/p>\n<p>Several catalysts appear to have driven the sharp breakout above the $1 figure, including a bullish breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart. A bullish breakout from such a pattern often signals a massive trend reversal and can lead to a sustained period of price appreciation as buyers gain control.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sui price has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern on the daily chart \u2014 May 11 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>First, Sui has been gaining strong momentum from several institutions, which has attracted investors\u2019 attention towards its growing ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Notably, Nasdaq-listed SUI Group Holdings moved its entire treasury of 108.7 million SUI tokens, worth approximately $143 million, into direct staking on the network. This has effectively removed nearly 2.7% of the circulating SUI supply from the open market and has created a supply squeeze, which significantly bolstered the price.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the optimism at the Consensus 2026 conference, Mysten Labs co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun revealed that confidential transactions for private payments and fee-free stablecoin transfers will launch on the Sui network later this year. These features would offer users unprecedented privacy and cost efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, African fintech giant Paga <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SuiNetwork\/status\/2052442233790681478\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">announced<\/a> on the same day a deep integration with Sui to power cross-border payments using stablecoins.<\/p>\n<p>Second, Sui\u2019s sudden price surge triggered roughly $3.13 million in liquidations from exchange traders, with nearly 90% coming from short positions. This then forced short sellers to buy back the token, pushing SUI prices even higher in a classic short squeeze scenario.<\/p>\n<p>Third, multiple market analysts, including Peter Brandt, have identified a weekly bottom for SUI on May 11, and have predicted a significant price increase for the token in the upcoming sessions as it moves into a new phase of growth.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is a major bottom.
