UNI Technical Analysis

Even with the increasing price and trading volume, the technical indicators for UNI remained contradictory, with some pointing towards a potential bear market.

UNI is currently trading below its 50-day & 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs) and has formed a Death Cross, a bearish sign. The Death Cross contributed to the price drop as it caused traders and investors to sell their holdings or take short positions. 

The SMA indicator suggests that both the long-term and short-term trend is bearish. But, the price might reverse if the bulls hold their long positions. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), with a reading of 40.20, suggests that the asset is not in the overbought or oversold regions but in a neutral range. 

This indicates that there’s no significant buying or selling pressure and UNI might experience some level of consolidation or a positive price change.

The MACD indicator suggests a bearish trend, with the MACD currently below the signal line. The histogram also confirms the bearish momentum as it is trading below zero.

UNI is trading at $5.14 at the time of writing. The bears are trying to break through the first support level of $4.746, a level several times.

However, if the bulls build strong momentum and break above the significant resistance level of $5.731, it might trigger a bullish trend. The next support and resistance level will be $3.358 and $7.651. Uniswap’s price can also lose most of its gains if the bears break the support levels successfully.
