- Uniswap Faces Price Pressure as Exchange Inflows Surge to Yearly Highs — this brief
Uniswap's UNI token has experienced a sharp price decline, falling more than 30% from its peak of $10.90 as exchange inflows surged to yearly highs. This development has raised concerns about increased distribution and potential selling pressure.
According to data from Darkfost, Binance recorded daily UNI inflows exceeding $40 million in late September, suggesting significant movement of tokens into exchanges. This could indicate increased selling intent among holders.
The critical support zone for UNI is currently between $6.75 and $7.00. If buyers can defend this level, it could form a double bottom pattern, potentially stabilizing the price. However, a breakdown below this zone could lead to further declines.
Uniswap's total value locked (TVL) stands at $3.93 billion, according to DeFiLlama, marking a 2.6% decrease over the past week. This suggests a broader cooling in DeFi activity, which may be contributing to the price pressure.
In the current market context, the total crypto market cap remains flat at $2.81 trillion, with 
Bitcoin down 0.40% in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index is at 55, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors.
