The cryptocurrency market continues to retrace sharply, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) both sliding into weekly losses. ETH, in particular, has dropped more than 12%, touching the $4,000 mark. Unsurprisingly, major altcoins are also under pressure — including the Layer-1 token Sui (SUI).
Over the past week, SUI has fallen by 13%. But beyond the red candles, the charts are beginning to flash something far more interesting: a bullish fractal setup. If history is any guide, SUI could be on the verge of a breakout.

SUI Mirrors SOL’s Legendary 2021 Path
A closer look at SEI’s chart reveals striking similarities with Solana’s (SOL) historic breakout in 2021.
Back in 2021, SOL spent months consolidating inside a descending triangle pattern before breaking out explosively. Once it reclaimed the 50-day moving average near the $30 mark, Solana went on a +750% run, hitting a cycle top of $260. That parabolic move secured its place as one of the best-performing assets of the year.

Fast forward to 2025, and SUI seems to be retracing that very path.
The token is currently trading within a similar descending triangle, with price hovering in its support zone. For long-term believers, this could represent a good accumulation opportunity before a potential breakout.
What’s Next for SUI?
If this fractal continues to play out, SUI’s roadmap looks promising. A decisive breakout above the descending trendline, combined with a reclaim of the 50-day moving average, could ignite a strong bullish rally.
From its current levels, the first major target sits near $10 — a potential +200% move.
Of course, fractals are not crystal balls. They don’t guarantee future results, but they can highlight recurring behavioral patterns across market cycles. In SUI’s case, the resemblance to Solana’s 2021 breakout is hard to overlook. If the setup holds, early holders could be positioned for significant upside.
