SUI Token Drops Nearly 6% After Brief Spike as Stronger U.S. Dollar Pressures Crypto Market
SUI, the native token of the Sui blockchain, is down nearly 6% over the past 24 hours, retreating to $4.04 after briefly jumping to $4.44 overnight. The move came on the back of a 32.37 million token volume spike, well above daily norms, before selling intensified and dragged prices lower, CoinDesk Analytics data shows. Bulls initially held the line at $4.32, but bears seized momentum as SUI slipped through key technical levels. The token closed the session at $4.11, a 5.25% drop. CoinDesk Analytics shows resistance now forming between $4.20 and $4.24, while a double-bottom appears to be developing at $4.08 to $4.09. Broader weakness in crypto markets may have added to the pressure. The CoinDesk 20 Index is down 1.4% over the past day. A nearly 1% rise in the U.S. Dollar Index today — often a headwind for risk assets like cryptocurrencies — coincided with the market-wide decline, including SUI's slide. Still, SUI is up 46% in the past month, outperforming the CD20's 33% gain. That growth tracks rising interest in the Sui ecosystem, which saw total value locked surpass $2 billion earlier this month, according to DeFiLlama.

Caution advised as hungry bears look for buffaloberries in Bow Valley
Bear in mind that berry season has begun, experts say. As buffaloberries ripen throughout the Bow Valley, visitors to popular areas in the mountains are being advised to watch out for bears. Buffaloberries, which are critical to a bear's diet in the Rocky Mountains, grow throughout Banff National Park and Kananaskis — including near trails, campsites and other areas frequented by people. "We've already started to see some ripening berries, and that's an extremely important food source for our local bears," Parks Canada resource management officer Dan Rafla told CBC News. "It's probably one of the most, if not the most, important sources of food for both grizzly bears and black bears in this area." WATCH | Bears are now on the lookout for berries: Buffaloberry season: beware of bears while in the mountains 9 days ago Banff National Park is advising people to keep an eye out for bears because it's buffaloberry season in many areas. The berries are an important food source for bears. He said bears will be "highly focused" on eating the tiny berries, which are high in sugar and nutrition. Now that both bear species' mating seasons have largely ended, their priorities shift to eating as they prepare for hibernation. Even though it's months away, because bears spend around half the year dormant, it helps to get an early start on bulking up for the winter. "Bears are somewhat in a race to put on enough fat and reserves to survive the winter," Rafla said. "They'll get more intense as the season gets on to the point where they're feeding 20 hours a day." Other naturally-occurring options for Bow Valley and Banff National Park bears in the summer include chokecherries and huckleberries, but they don't compare to the abundance of buffaloberries. The Rockies "aren't the most productive landscape for bears" in terms of food availability, Rafla said. But the area looks like it has a good crop of buffaloberries this year, Rafla said. Buffaloberries have been seen a little early this year, likely due to warm temperatures in the valley bottom. That's good news after recent years saw poor berry growth in the Rockies, which can cause problems. "Sometimes we'll see a little bit more conflict and maybe desperation from a bear to seek out those food sources," he said. Be bear aware Seasonal trail restrictions in parts of Banff National Park are designed to minimize human-bear interactions during berry season, particularly in areas grizzly bears are known to frequent. Those restrictions, which include requiring hikers to remain close together in groups of at least four adults, in addition to requiring bear spray and not permitting dogs, apply to Allenby Pass and part of the Lake Minnewanka area. The Lake Minnewanka restrictions are in place July 10 to September 15 every year, while the Allenby Pass restrictions run August 1 to September 30. Nick de Ruyter, program director of the BioSphere Institute's WildSmart program, said bears are likely to be distracted and not paying attention to their surroundings while they feed on buffaloberries. He said it's important visitors avoid doing anything that could surprise or provoke the animals. "We really need to be making lots of noise so we don't surprise them while they're feeding, and even when we do make noise, they might still not be paying attention because they're so focused on eating," he said. "They really, really need that food, and they will be very focused on getting that food, and that's the only thing on their mind." Berries grow easily in places with human disturbance due to better access to sunlight, de Ruyter said, adding it's important to remember this when buffaloberries frequently grow along trails and near parks, campsites, picnic areas and other popular places. "If you see a bear feeding along the trail, don't try and sneak past it. Wait or find another way around, and just give them that space that they need to feed," he said. Carrying bear spray is important, but it should only be used for defence and not to remove a bear harmlessly feeding in a hiker's way, de Ruyter said. He added anyone who sees a bear feeding on the side of the road should not pull over or get out of their car, potentially creating a bear jam. "I know it's hard to do, because people like seeing bears, but we really have to give them the space to feed, and basically thrive and survive," de Ruyter said. Buffaloberries are typically ripe from mid-July to September, according to Parks Canada. To avoid attracting bears in search of berries, the towns of Banff and Canmore offer financial incentive programs for property owners to remove fruit trees.

Internet Computer (ICP) showed signs of resilience in a turbulent 24-hour window, climbing as high as $5.6781 before consolidating just below the $5.50 mark. Despite late-session selling, the token remains poised for potential recovery amid ongoing volatility. Starting July 13 at 17:00 UTC, ICP began a steady ascent, reaching its session high of $5.6781 early on July 14. This rally was underpinned by a significant increase in volume, topping 800,000 units during its most aggressive upward leg between 02:00 and 05:00 UTC. Bulls briefly tested resistance above $5.67, a level that had historically capped upside momentum. However, intense selling pressure set in shortly after the peak, driving prices downward in a rapid reversal. During the hour ending at 16:05 UTC on July 14, the token dipped 1% to $5.45, decisively breaking through the $5.48 support threshold. A volume spike near 50,000 units during the 15:48-15:49 UTC interval further confirmed heightened bearish activity. Despite the pullback, ICP has found near-term stability in a lower trading channel between $5.44 and $5.46. ICP traded within a $0.28 range from $5.40 (low) to $5.68 (high), marking a 5% intraday spread. Price spiked from $5.47 to $5.68 between 02:00–05:00 UTC on July 14, amid 800K+ volume.

Key support at $5.48 was broken on high volume, signaling potential bearish continuation. Notable sell-off occurred between 15:48–15:49 UTC with nearly 50K units traded. Consolidation range has formed between $5.44–$5.46 as of July 14 at 16:35 UTC.

Video shows black bear brawl in Asheville: Here's what to know during bear mating season
USA TODAY published a video of two bears fighting on an Asheville roadside. Here's what to know about the area's bear population. The bears featured in the short USA TODAY clip caused a dramatic scene with their scuffle. While the majority of Western North Carolina may not have witnessed a bear brawl, most residents are far from strangers to the black bear population. In fact, many of the animals aren't particularly shy, perfectly comfortable rifling through trash cans or even taking casual strolls through downtown Asheville. With the warmest months of the year upon us, bears are growing particularly bold in many areas, ready to roam and explore in search of food. Here's what to know about black bears in WNC, including common misconceptions, safety rules and more. NC Wildlife Commission BearWise coordinator Ashley Hobbs said in a 2024 news release that, while black bears are not generally dangerous and are rarely aggressive toward humans, people sharing territory with the animals should do their part to reduce the potential for conflict. Black bear safety program BearWise recommendations include: Never feed or approach bears. Secure food, garbage and recycling. Remove bird feeders when bears are active. Never leave pet food outdoors. Clean and store grills and smokers. Alert neighbors to bear activity. If you encounter a black bear, the National Park Service suggests: Remain watchful. Do not approach it. Do not allow the bear to approach you. If the bear is at a distance, feeding, or walking by and notices you but continues its natural behavior, no action is needed on your part. Proceed while continuing to observe the bear. If your presence causes the bear to change its behavior (stops feeding, changes its travel direction, watches you, etc.), you are too close. Being too close may promote aggressive behavior from the bear such as running toward you, making loud noises, or swatting the ground. The bear is demanding more space. Don't run, but slowly back away, watching the bear. Increase the distance between you and the bear. The bear will probably do the same. The NPS says that black bears are most active during early morning and late evening hours in spring and summer, with mating usually taking place in July. According to BearWise, the record weight for a black bear is over 800 pounds. Male black bears generally weigh between 130 and 500 pounds, while females are smaller at around 90 to 350 pounds.
