Uniswap (UNI) pumped 26% on May 8th as Bitcoin broke above $100,000 for the first time in three months. Before the U.S. market opened on May 9th, UNI posted an additional 3% gain, extending its 48-hour recovery to 35%. However, the key question is whether the rally can extend into the weekend amid a critical resistance at the $7.5-$8 zone.
UNI Bulls Eye $8 Amid Key Resistance
The Q1 decline found support around $5, the same level that held during the August 2024 plunge. If history repeats, UNI could target the $8 resistance zone, representing a potential 18-20% gain from its current level of $6.3. Technical indicators align with this outlook; the RSI is near overbought territory, yet no reversal signs have emerged. Meanwhile, the Average True Range (ATR) remains relatively low, suggesting the rally may still have legs.
Profit-Taking at Break-Even Levels?
Despite the bullish momentum, UNI faces a potential sell-off at the $8 mark. According to Santiment, 61% of Uniswap holders are currently at a break-even point, while only 8% are in profit. With an average unrealized profit of 18% among short-term holders, profit-taking could intensify near the $8 resistance, potentially stalling further gains.
What’s Next for UNI?
For bulls, a break above $8 could pave the way for a push towards the $9.5-$10 range, provided Bitcoin sustains its surge and BTC dominance dips below 60%. On the downside, the bullish thesis would be invalidated if UNI falls below the 50-EMA at $5.8, opening the door for further declines. All eyes are now on UNI’s price action as traders weigh profit-taking against potential upside momentum.
