According to Cryptorank, SUI’s unlock outpaces all other upcoming releases this month. Aster follows closely with an $86.84 million unlock on Dec. 17, while LayerZero and Pump.fun are set to release $33.70 million and $31.22 million worth of tokens, respectively. Arbitrum and Aptos also feature on December’s issuance calendar, but none matched SUI’s unlock size or price movement this week.

SUI Price Forecast: Can Bulls Maintain Momentum Above the Keltner Mid-Band?
SUI price prodded above $1.6 in Tuesday’s breakout, pushing decisively above the Keltner mid-band for the first time in nearly three weeks. The move also pulled SUI price closer to the upper volatility band at $1.9, which now forms the next short-term resistance.
The intraday rally was supported by considerable spot purchases with the +14.6M volume delta reading its strongest positive print since early November.
The rally lifted SUI RSI to 44.41, breaking from deeply neutral territory and signaling early trend rotation rather than overextension.
SUI Technical Price Analysis | TradingView
While the descending Keltner upper-band trajectory still caps upside attempts, a decisive close above $1.92 would invalidate the November downtrend and open the path toward the next pivot point at $2.72 near the local top triggered October’s sharp decline.
On the downside, $1.32 remains the main support. It aligns with the lower Keltner boundary and served as the consolidation base through late November. Losing this level would pull SUI back into a continuation of the November sell-off, exposing the October lows at $0.56.
