- UNI hiked 14%, reversing steep losses seen on 10 June.
- H4’s market structure was bearish at the time of writing.
Uniswap’s [UNI] extended drop in the first half of June smashed January lows and the post-FTX level of $4.710. But the DEX (Decentralized Exchange) token eased at $3.633 and inflicted a strong rebound, hiking 14% to around $4.43 at the time of writing.

UNI’s price action retraced slightly after rejection, just below the post-FTX level of $4.710. In the meantime, Bitcoin [BTC] temporarily crossed the $26.6k mark but was yet to flip bullish on the higher timeframe.
Will the 50% Fib level rescue bulls?
A Fibonacci retracement tool (yellow) was placed between the swing high at the end of May and the June low on the 4-hour chart. The 61.8% Fib level of $4.61, below the post-FTX level, was a key resistance for the past few days.
The 38.2% Fib ($4.24) and 50% ($4.42) Fib levels have acted as immediate support levels during the recovery period’s recent pullbacks. At the time of writing, UNI hit the 50% Fib level ($4.42), and could breach it if BTC falls below $26.6k.
So, sellers must clear the obstacles at 38.2% Fib ($4.24) and 50% ($4.42) Fib levels to extend gains to $4.00 (23.6% Fib level).
An upside move could be feasible if UNI flips bullish by crossing the post-FTX level of $4.710 and the 78.6% Fib level ($4.87).
Meanwhile, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) declined below the 50-mark, and OBV (On Balance Volume) registered a downtick – suggesting a dip in buying pressure and demand.
The futures market is bearish
The open interest (OI) rates and the number of futures contracts linked to UNI declined massively between 10-12 June. It dropped from >$43 million on 10 June to about $31 million by 12 June. Moreover, it peaked at $39 million on 15 June before dropping again.

The declining OI shows growing bearish sentiment in the futures market in the second half of June.
Additionally, Uniswap’s Exchange Long/Short ratio corroborated the above inference, with shorts commanding dominance at 53.95% in the 4-hour timeframe. The negative derivative metrics could delay the prospects of the H4 structure flipping bullish.
