UNI falls nearly 7%, with divergence across the DeFi sector
Event: Uniswap's UNI fell nearly 6.75%, leading losses among top DeFi tokens, while Lighter (LIT) bucked the trend, gaining over 10%, highlighting clear divergence within the sector.
Why it matters: Weakness in a DeFi leader reflects declining risk appetite, but niche protocols are still seeing independent price moves.
Notable mover (UNI): Current price around $6.467, with a range of $6.34 to $7.16. Resistance: $7.16; support: $6.34; a breakdown could put $6.0 in view.
Outlook: DeFi broadly faces pressure from ETF outflows and interest rates. $UNI needs to reclaim $7.16 to reverse its short-term weakness.
About the token: Uniswap is a leading decentralized exchange, and UNI is its governance token. The V4 and Hooks ecosystem are recent areas of focus.
