Upcoming Layer-1 Solana-rival Sui Network has endured 3-months of downside price moves, as the emerging Mysten Labs blockchain struggles to gain a foothold in price action.
Early backers of the Sui Network altcoin have faced a tumultuous -58% bleed-out in the value of native SUI token since launch on May 3.
Despite the appeal of a new layer-1 ecosystem utilising Move programming and horizontal scaling, the price of SUI is currently trading at $0.6225 (marking a 24 hour change of -2.1%).

Worse still SUI appears now to be falling away from the 20DMA resistance, the last time this happened SUI saw a -12% retracement, suggesting an extension of downside moves could be on the cards.
There is some relief to be found in SUI's indicators, rejection from the upper trendline on July 18 saw SUI's overheated RSI rapidly cool off.
With the RSI indicator now spotlighting a significant oversold signal at 35, there could now be the capacity for a return to the upside.
