UNI trades in a bullish structure across all time frames but faces bearish momentum signals; expected range for the next 2 to 3 sessions is $8.801 to $10.4704 with a 70% probability of decline.

Fee switch activation heightens demand amid value accrual shift

Uniswap governance has approved the activation of the fee switch, a move that for the first time enables UNI holders to directly capture protocol fees through distribution. This development establishes a concrete value accrual mechanism for the token, directly increasing its utility and appeal within the DeFi ecosystem. Additionally, trading volume has surged to 88% above the average, reflecting heightened market engagement and contributing to current demand.

Bearish momentum confirmed by mixed indicators and session volatility

On the H1 chart, UNI trades above the MA-20 at $8.91 and the MA-50 at $8.82, while on the daily timeframe, it remains above the MA-200 at $3.82. Immediate price support is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun level at $8.99. Momentum indicators provide mixed signals: with MACD and ADX neutral, RSI signaling Sell at 42.5, and both Stochastic RSI and CCI highlighting oversold conditions. Meanwhile, Bull/Bear Power continues to reflect dominant selling pressure, and the Awesome Oscillator flags a strong sell signal, underlining ongoing bearish momentum even as intraday volatility persists near session highs.

Downside risk elevated as range-bound trade favors sellers

Over the next 2–3 sessions, UNI is expected to trade within a range of $8.801 to $10.4704. The probability of a rise stands at 30%, while a decline holds a 70% probability, making a sideways move within this corridor the baseline scenario. Upside momentum could accelerate if price breaks above resistance, whereas a move below immediate support would reinforce further downside.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the recent fee switch activation as a key step for Uniswap’s value proposition. However, he notes that technical indicators remain mixed, with persistent bearish momentum and dominant selling pressure. Elevated trading volume shows market interest, but price action is constrained within a tight range. "Despite headline-driven demand, I am cautious until UNI reclaims higher support and the technical bias turns more constructive."

Earlier, analysts noted that Uniswap governance was considering extending protocol fee collection and burn infrastructure, which could impact UNI's long-term utility and value accrual. With the recent approval and activation of the fee switch, traders should monitor UNI's ability to sustain its value capture mechanism as it navigates the current trading range, with attention to any breakout or breakdown from the $8.801 to $10.4704 corridor.
