After a major exploit rocked its top decentralized exchange, the SUI blockchain is showing signs of recovery—both technically and in market sentiment.
Roughly $162 million in stolen assets tied to a smart contract attack were frozen within the SUI network, thanks to an emergency maneuver by network validators who selectively blocked activity from the hacker’s addresses. Another $60 million, however, ended up on Ethereum and remains beyond direct reach.
To recover the rest, the Cetus team and SUI Foundation are coordinating efforts and even proposed a $6 million white hat bounty to the attacker in exchange for returning the Ethereum—promising no legal action if the funds remain untouched.
Despite the breach, SUI’s native token has risen nearly 4%, with traders shrugging off concerns of centralization. An official statement clarified that validators independently chose to block addresses and can reverse those decisions at will.
From a technical perspective, trader Michael_EWpro believes SUI is completing a textbook Elliott Wave correction. His chart points to a potential bottom near $1.50–$1.80, with a strong rebound possibly pushing the asset as high as $20. Volume data also hints at minimal resistance between $4 and $10, which could support an explosive move if the trend reverses.
While short-term pressure isn’t off the table, bulls are watching closely for signs of a breakout—especially if SUI can confirm its next leg higher from the $2 zone.
