【UNI fell 16%, but the real problem isn’t the price】
This week, UNI has been smashed from 8.5 all the way down to 7.5, and in the short term, everyone is panicking.
But what I really want to ask you is: are you panicking about the “price,” or the “logic”?
First, let’s talk about how this week moved. On Monday, it opened around 8.2. On Tuesday, it got hammered straight down to 7.6. On Wednesday, it bounced up to around 8, only to be pushed down again.
The 7.3–8 area was tested three times—each time people asked whether it would break. My take is: it hasn’t broken yet, but that doesn’t mean it’s stable.
Here are a few observations:
First, the 7.3–8 support is firmer than I expected. At this level, the market clearly shows buyers stepping in. It doesn’t feel like a one-way slide with no turning back. But “strong” doesn’t mean “won’t break”—it just means bulls and bears are still locked in a battle here.
Second, trading volume has expanded noticeably this week. What does higher volume mean? Either big funds are distributing (selling), or they’re accumulating (buying). I lean toward the latter—especially since it’s down 83% from the historical high, and this level is attractive for anyone looking to build positions.
Third, BTC now makes up 59% of the market dominance. What does that imply? Funds are being funneled into BTC, and it’s normal that other altcoins get bled out. UNI is down 16%, but in the same period, BTC hasn’t fallen nearly that much. So this isn’t entirely a UNI-specific issue—it’s the ecosystem’s capital structure adjusting.
What about next week?
If 7.3–8 holds, then there’s still a chance—possibly a rebound. If it can reclaim 8.18, then the short-term bottom would likely be more or less confirmed. But if it can’t hold, the next support is between 6.5 and 6.8, and the downside space could get much larger.
But what I want to say most today isn’t all of the above.
Many people only look at UNI’s price—and that’s wrong. The underlying value of UNI is Uniswap’s trading volume and its ecosystem stickiness. As long as DeFi is still here, and as long as swaps still need to happen, UNI has its own logic.
Where it drops to is driven by market sentiment—but whether it’s truly worth it is another question.
My judgment hasn’t changed after this drop. I’m just even more certain about one thing: in the short term, the market is a voting machine; in the long term, it’s a weighing machine. UNI is clearly undervalued right now—but undervalued things don’t necessarily pump immediately. It could stay undervalued for a long time.
So the real question is: which time horizon are you looking at?
If we make this concrete, what does it mean in practice? Who is affected? Does the business logic hold up?
In plain terms: if UNI breaks below 7.3–8, the whole DeFi sector will likely experience a wave of sentiment shock. But the real applications that are actively running won’t disappear—they’ll just see price volatility.
The core problem for Uniswap right now is whether, after the V4 upgrade, it can continue to maintain its advantage. That’s what will ultimately decide whether UNI can truly turn around.
I don’t know whether there’s any new progress on the SIMD side. But if it really lands, is it good news or bad news for UNI? I’m still watching that.
So my question is: with this UNI sell-off, do you think opportunity is here—or are you waiting for even lower prices? What price do you think is worth taking action on?
Not a prediction—I just want to know what your reasoning logic is.
