"summary": "SUI held flat near $0.99 for most of the window, then dropped from about $0.991 to $0.975 between 21:15 and 21:30 UTC. Binance spot volume ran at 4.9× normal at the same time. The fall continued after the window closed, reaching $0.958 at 21:40 (-3.26% in 1h, a 5σ move), and price was $0.971 at 22:17. SUI fell more than BTC (-0.3%) and ETH (-1.11%) in a weak broad market.
