Uniswap UNI Surge: Rally Ahead?
Uniswap (UNI) Sees Record Accumulation
Uniswap [UNI] experienced a significant surge in accumulation during the first week of February, raising questions about a potential price rally. Over $54 million worth of UNI tokens were withdrawn from exchanges, signaling strong investor confidence.
On February 4th alone, a record daily accumulation of $25.16 million was observed—one of the highest buying sprees since 2021, according to IntoTheBlock. This significant buying pressure suggests a bullish sentiment among investors.
- Key Metric: Over $54.6 million in UNI withdrawn from exchanges in the first week of February.
- Analyst Insight: Coinbase analysts suggest the recently launched Uniswap V4 might take time to gain widespread adoption, citing the need for thorough security testing.
Whale Activity and Market Sentiment
While the price stabilized above $8 after a recent dip, analysis of whale activity on the futures market reveals fluctuating positions. According to Hyblock's Whale vs. Retail Delta, the indicator oscillates between green (whale dominance) and red, suggesting indecision in the market. A sustained period of green would strongly indicate an extended rally.
Uniswap V4: A Game Changer?
The launch of Uniswap V4, boasting improved capital efficiency and token swapping routes across 12 chains, is a significant development. While V4 currently holds over $50 million in locked funds just one week post-launch (compared to V3's $3 billion), Coinbase's analysts caution that achieving similar scale to V3 will likely take several months due to necessary security audits and market adoption.
Price Prediction and Future Outlook
At press time, UNI is down 54% from its December high of $19. However, the recent pullback retested the multi-year range breakout level of approximately $7.50, which previously triggered price runs in March and November 2024. Should this level act as support, a potential rally to $15-$20 in the medium term is possible.
