Top cryptocurrencies to watch this week: Bitcoin, Sui, Sonic
3 min read
All eyes are on Sui this week as the Layer-1 blockchain prepares for a major token unlock that could reshape its near-term price action. While Bitcoin ( BTC ) flirts with a breakout past $107,000 and ETF inflows near $50 billion, Sui ( SUI ) is drawing heightened scrutiny ahead of its July 1 unlock of 5.22 billion tokens—worth over $154 million, or 1.63% of total supply. This recurring monthly event, scheduled to continue through 2030, has become a significant driver of volatility. Technical indicators point to further downside as SUI trades below its 50-day moving average within a descending channel. With the price hovering near the $2 support level, traders are bracing for movement. Meanwhile, broader market sentiment remains mixed as macro data, including U.S. nonfarm payrolls and trade updates, loom. Sonic ( S ) is also in focus ahead of the latest U.S. nonfarm payroll data, to be released on July 3.

Data shows that Bitcoin ETF inflows jumped by over $2.2 billion last week, its third consecutive week of gains. This growth resulted in cumulative inflows of nearly $50 billion. Technical indicators suggest that the Bitcoin price is eyeing a bullish breakout to its all-time high, which may occur this week. It has formed a bullish flag and a cup-and-handle pattern, which often leads to more gains. The distance between the upper side and the lower side of the cup is about 30%. Measuring the same distance from its upper side brings the target to about $145,000. Such a move will likely trigger a new crypto market bull run .
