Uniswap (UNI), a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) token, is trading at $13.32, marking a 10.59% decline in the last 24 hours. Despite the short-term dip, UNI has posted a modest 0.50% gain over the past week, reflecting mixed sentiment in the market. Its 24-hour trading volume of $444.82 million indicates active participation, while a circulating supply of 600 million UNI keeps its market capitalization at $7.97 billion.
Technical Analysis: Bearish Signals Dominate
UNI’s price decline follows a retreat from recent highs of $17, with technical indicators signaling caution. The TD Sequential indicator on the 4-hour chart offers a buy signal, suggesting a potential rebound if the $13.20 support level holds. However, the Parabolic SAR points to ongoing bearish pressure, with immediate support near $12.50. A breach below this could lead to a retest of $11.

Momentum indicators reinforce the cautious outlook. The Average Directional Index (ADX) at 17.96 reflects weak trend momentum, while the Directional Movement Index (DMI) shows convergence between the +DI and -DI lines, highlighting market indecision. Bulls need to reclaim the $15 level to restore bullish momentum.
Derivatives Data: Mixed Sentiment Prevails
Coinglass data reveals mixed sentiment in UNI derivatives. While trading volume rose 6.77% to $582.95 million, open interest dropped 14.35% to $266.69 million, indicating a reduction in leveraged positions as traders navigate heightened volatility.
The Long/Short Ratio shows a marginal bullish bias, with 50.56% of traders holding long positions compared to 49.44% in shorts. This narrow gap underscores cautious optimism but highlights overall uncertainty.
Liquidations Reflect Market Caution
Recent liquidations totaled $471.98K in longs and $935.47 in shorts, revealing a cautious trading environment. The imbalance suggests over-leveraged long positions triggered stop-losses amid price declines, though the subdued liquidation volumes point to reduced volatility.
As UNI consolidates at $13.32, traders closely monitor the $13.20 support level and $15 resistance level for clear directional cues. The next price movement will likely hinge on broader market dynamics and technical signals.
