Bitwise Files Spot Uniswap ETF as UNI Price Hits 5-Year Low — Will Wall Street Buy the Dip?

Key Takeaways

  • Bitwise’s Uniswap ETF filing hasn’t translated into support, as UNI slides.
  • On the 4-hour chart, UNI remains in a downtrend, with sellers in control.
  • UNI’s near-term path hinges on reclaiming overhead resistance around $3.95.

Asset management firm Bitwise has filed for a spot Uniswap ETF.

At the same time, UNI, native to the Uniswap protocol, has slid to a five-year low. Over the past 24 hours, Uniswap’s price has dropped 14%.

Despite the development, bearish momentum has dominated across multiple timeframes.

That contrast is now forcing a simple question: if Wall Street gets a regulated on-ramp, will big money finally buy the dip?

Let’s assess what’s next for Uniswap’s price.

ETF Filing Sparks No Response

On the 4-hour chart, UNI’s breakdown is unmistakable.

As seen below, the Uniswap price continues to form lower highs, confirming an established downtrend. 

Furthermore, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) reflects weakening participation, signaling sustained capital outflows. 

At press time, CMF remains in negative territory at -0.21, highlighting persistent distribution rather than accumulation.

Against a broader market downturn, a development such as Bitwise’s ETF filing would typically stabilize sentiment.

However, UNI’s failure to attract an immediate bid-side response suggests that macro headwinds and internal weakness are overpowering the headline catalyst.

Momentum indicators reinforce this bearish structure. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) stays deeply below the zero line, printing consecutive red histogram bars and reading -0.514, signaling accelerating selling pressure.

Price action shows UNI’s price respecting a clear descending pattern, with each relief bounce capped by former support that has turned into resistance.

Sellers continue to defend overhead zones aggressively, preventing any meaningful reclaim of broken levels. Should this remain the same, Uniswap’s price risks a notable drop below $2.

UNI Price Prediction: Downtrend Continues

The daily chart offers little encouragement. UNI continues to record consecutive declines, showing that bearish momentum remains firmly in control despite Bitwise’s move to list a spot Uniswap ETF.

This is evident in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which sits firmly in the oversold region, reflecting sustained selling pressure rather than a temporary shakeout.

An oversold RSI can hint at a bounce, but context matters. In UNI’s case, momentum has yet to flatten, let alone turn, suggesting that bears are still dictating the pace.

Similarly, the Money Flow Index (MFI) shows no meaningful improvement, remaining subdued and indicating that capital inflows remain weak.

This reinforces the view that the sell-off is not driven solely by price action, but by a lack of conviction among buyers at current levels.

Fibonacci retracement levels further underline UNI’s fragile setup. UNI’s price continues to trade well below key retracement zones, with former support levels now acting as overhead resistance.

At the time of writing, UNI’s price sits at $3.21, struggling to break away from the 0 Fib level.

While the candle has turned green, the move lacks follow-through and volume confirmation, raising questions about its durability.

Without a push above nearby resistance at $3.95, the recovery risks fading as quickly as it appeared.

In a bullish scenario, if UNI manages to reclaim the $3.95 to $5.10 resistance with a strong daily close and accompanying volume, it could open the door for a move toward the next Fibonacci retracement levels.
