Uniswap Price Analysis
Uniswap (UNI) slipped over 4% on Wednesday, a release of some pressure after the token’s bullish 26% price surge that formed an engulfing candle. The token had briefly touched $8.67, a new three-month high, and has now come off from the $8.70 supply ceiling.
Uniswap price broke out above the inverse head and shoulders pattern, confirming the move with a strong bullish candle. The breakout was validated as UNI closed decisively above the neckline at $7.52. This signals a potential trend reversal and opens the path for further upside momentum.
From the technical standpoint, the indicators look bullish. The MACD gave a positive crossover signal, while the RSI at 67 is just entering near-overbought territory and sustaining bullish pressure. Meanwhile, both 50-day and 200-day EMAs curve upward in anticipation of a bullish crossover.
Short-term pullbacks could lead to a test of the 200-day EMA at $7.67, which coincides with a critical support zone at $7.69. If the buyers bounce in and greed stays on, expect Uniswap price to retest its resistance of $8.70.
However, a close below $7.67 coud jeopardizes another drop toward $6.90.
