UNI Jumps to One-Month High Near $7 as Volume and Open Interest Surge

Traders are watching a daily close above $7.1 to confirm a breakout toward resistance at the 50‑week EMA near $8.17.

Overview

  • Uniswap’s token rallied roughly 12%–15% in 24 hours to trade around $6.75–$7.15, marking its strongest level in about a month.
  • Spot activity accelerated with 24-hour trading volume climbing to roughly half a billion dollars, reflecting renewed interest in DeFi tokens.
  • Derivatives participation increased as open interest rose about 27% to roughly $353 million, aligning with the price advance.
  • Short positions were liquidated more than longs, indicating a squeeze that helped fuel the move, though rising exchange reserves suggest some profit-taking risk.
  • Analysts flag a decisive close above ~$7.1 as validation, with follow-on levels near $7.6–$8.5 and the 50-week EMA at ~$8.17, and some see room toward $10 if momentum persists alongside broader market strength.
