Uniswap Trades Near the Bearish Trendline
On the daily technical chart, the bulls find it difficult to cross over the bearish trend line that extends from the high of $17.33 made on March 6. After making a strong move on Monday, the prices took a breather, trading in a range bound manner for the past two sessions. However, the price still holds in the upper trajectory.
Following the moving average crossover involving the 21-day EMA and 55-day EMA on April 12, the bears enjoyed a downturn rally and the price corrected 50% in a sharp movement. Afterward, UNI entered a short-term consolidation between $6.55 and $8.13. On Monday, the bulls harnessed the strength to burst above this level.
Currently, the token trades near the critical level around $9.40 as this zone previously acted as support zone. Further, a breach of the bearish trend line would strengthen the probability of the upside breakout sustainability. If that happens, the first upside target could be found near the horizontal resistance zone at $11.43, followed by the high of March 31 at $13.33.
The bullish view is supported by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator, which trades above the central line with a bullish momentum. Additionally, Uniswap manages to uphold above the two moving averages.
Conversely, a change in the bearish sentiment could result in the more downside in the token. The first support emerges at the 55-day EMA at $8.54. If the selling intensifies in that case the low of the candlestick made on Monday could be tested at $$7.62.
