Take off! UNI’s surge this round is crazy explosive—straight up to the 9.499 peak. But after topping out, the funds clearly cashed out, and now it’s pulled back to 8.747. In the past 24 hours, it’s down more than 4 percentage points. The candlestick also printed a very long upper wick, which is a classic “rally meets resistance” pattern.

On the macro side, discussions abroad around regulation of DeFi protocols have been heating up. Many regions are focusing on DEX trading compliance issues, and policy expectations are likely to weigh on the valuation of tokens like UNI for decentralized exchanges.
