【Volume surges as prices fall—don't rush to look for bearish news】
The most striking thing about UNI this week was the sudden spike in trading volume, exceeding 5% of its market cap. Yet its price fell 7.6% over seven days, then dropped another 5% in 24 hours. The 6.49 level kept coming up, while nobody dared go near 7.28. Why did it keep weakening despite the surge in volume? The answer is simple: selling pressure was more urgent than buying support. I saw this pattern back in 2017.
I was half wrong in my prediction: I took the Fear Index at 32 as a sign that the price could find support, but UNI kept weakening. My mistake was treating “fear” as a “bottom”—veteran crypto investors have all fallen into that trap. A surge in volume doesn’t guarantee an immediate reversal. A major move may be approaching, but trading volume doesn’t determine its direction.
In practical terms, what’s hardest for holders isn’t just the 7.6% drop, but not knowing whether this is a shakeout or the narrative losing steam. Market makers also find their spread opportunities narrowing when volume surges. These figures alone don’t show any fundamental change in UNI’s business logic. Whether on-chain use, governance, and value capture can deliver is what determines whether there will be buying support. However exciting the talk, without real-world results, it’s just sentiment.
Next week, I’ll be watching to see whether selling pressure near 6.49 eases and whether buying support emerges at 7.28. BTC dominance is at 59.7%, and capital still favors major coins. For UNI to move independently, it will need real usage and a gap between expectations and reality.
I’ll admit it this week: the market doesn’t owe retail investors a rebound. How are you feeling? Would you dare to make a move in this wave? Getting itchy fingers?
