SUI continued its recovery towards its all-time high and is up over 10% in the last 24 hours supported by ecosystem growth.
Sui (SUI) recovered after remaining in a downtrend for four days, as its price rose from $1.62 to $2.08, taking its market capitalization to $5.7 million. Increased investor activity caused its trading volume to increase 35% to $1.76 billion on October 30, after more than doubling on October 29 from the previous day.
The main reason for the recent rally was the enthusiasm around the x.com/SuiNetwork/status/1850939628473487628″ target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>launch of a Major League Soccer-themed nft collectibles platform called MLS Quest in Sui in partnership with crypto startup Sweet. The platform allows MLS fans to collect digital medallions based on highlights from real-world league matches and earn rewards.
Net inflows to SUI increased after the partnership with MLS, reaching the highest level among all networks on October 29, according to community member ToreroRomero, further solidifying the momentum of the rebound.

However, on the 1-day SUI/USDT chart, the Relative Strength Index is close to the neutral level at 57.

SUI forms a cup and handle pattern.
However, one analyst predicts that SUI could reach as high as $6.9 in the coming months.

It has set an initial target of $6.9, 235% higher than its current price level, which marks the handle's breakout level. If the bullish momentum persists, the price could rise further to the Cup and Handle pattern's total target of $9.6.
