Trading volume doubles as Uniswap v4 launch drives event-driven flows

Uniswap v4's launch on the Ethereum mainnet on June 14 stands as the central catalyst, introducing new protocol features and enhancing the network's underlying capabilities. This upgrade has driven a doubling in trading volume compared to the previous session, indicating heightened market participation and liquidity linked directly to the event. Renewed discussions about potential activation of the fee switch, which could distribute rewards to UNI holders, further boost sentiment around the asset. However, on-chain activity and daily active addresses remain relatively subdued, underscoring that current momentum may be concentrated among larger or more event-driven participants.

Mixed momentum and overbought signals as resistance nears

UNI/USD is holding firm above its MA-20 at $2.7734 and MA-50 at $2.6364, but remains capped by the MA-200 at $4.0729, while the Ichimoku Kijun sits at $2.8025, acting as immediate support. The MACD and ADX both generate buy signals, with the RSI at 64.71 also suggesting bullish strength. However, the CCI is overbought and the Stoch RSI is neutral, indicating caution as the rally approaches resistance zones. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) favors buyers on the intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator is neutral, underscoring mixed signals as volatility stays high.

Upside breakout and volatility define near-term price range

In the short term, UNI/USD is expected to trade between $2.8128 and $3.0292, reflecting the volatility band relative to current levels. Stabilization near the middle of this range is likely if momentum persists. A break above $3.0292 would mark a bullish scenario with potential for further gains, while a move below immediate support at $2.8025 could open the door for a short-term correction.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the Uniswap v4 launch as a clear technical trigger for recent gains, but notes that underlying retail activity remains muted. He stresses that short-term indicators suggest some bullish momentum, though resistance near $3.0292 and overbought signals demand caution. The analyst maintains a defensive stance as sustainable upside will require broader participation. "Until on-chain activity picks up and UNI breaks sustained above $3.0292, I remain cautious on the longevity of this move."

Earlier, analysts noted that Uniswap was exhibiting renewed bullish momentum while advising close monitoring of key inflection points for confirmation of a sustained trend shift. With the latest protocol upgrade driving increased trading activity and momentum signals remaining positive, traders should watch for a decisive move above $3.0292 to confirm continued upside in the near term.
