Sui (SUI) and Sei (SEI) Vie for High-Speed Trading Liquidity vs L2s

Sui (SUI) and Sei (SEI) are positioning themselves as default “high-speed trading” venues after upgrades in 2026, aiming to retain liquidity from Ethereum L2s (Arbitrum, Base) and Solana-like flow patterns. For Sui, DeepBook V3 activity is cited at 164M daily transactions. The article frames SUI as in an “early repair” phase with technical levels: $0.95 spot price, support near the 30-day SMA ($0.919) and resistance around the 7-day average ($0.962). Momentum is described as constructive via a positive MACD histogram (+0.0030). Scenarios include a range around $0.80–$1.15, with a bullish rotation toward $1.35–$1.52 only if SUI clears key resistance and challenges the 200-day SMA ($1.52). A downside retest to $0.75 is possible if token-unlock selling isn’t absorbed by new perp demand. For Sei, after completion of its “Giga Upgrade” and migration to an EVM-only architecture, the article claims stronger cross-chain perp listing traction. It highlights ~0.4s finality as a competitive edge for order-book updates. Technically, SEI at $0.0574 is above the 7-day and 30-day averages, but the 200-day SMA ($0.117) remains about 2x higher, keeping the long-term trend bearish. Near-term expectations: stabilization in $0.050–$0.075, bullish recovery toward $0.095–$0.11 if MACD turns decisively positive, or a move to $0.045 if liquidity shifts back to established L2 ecosystems. Overall, the piece labels both as “high-beta” trading vehicles: they may outperform in risk-on periods, but need network-effect dominance (e.g., reclaiming longer-term averages) to win sustained flow.
