- Uniswap introduces Continuous Clearing Auctions to create transparent, on-chain liquidity formation for new tokens.
- The system enables fair price discovery while automatically seeding Uniswap v4 liquidity at the final clearing price.
- UNI trades near support as traders assess whether CCA may catalyze a broader recovery.
Uniswap has unveiled Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA), a new permissionless mechanism designed to help teams bootstrap liquidity on Uniswap v4 while enabling transparent, on-chain price discovery for new and thinly traded tokens.
The protocol, developed in collaboration with Aztec, arrives alongside an optional ZK Passport module that allows private but verifiable participation, giving project teams and early users enhanced privacy without sacrificing the transparency of execution.
CCA aims to replace the opaque, deal-driven liquidity formation process that traditionally occurs behind closed doors. With the latest update, every aspect of the Uniswap clearing auction, from bid submission to pricing and settlement, will now run on-chain.
The auction distributes tokens gradually through a continuous clearing process that recalculates a single market-clearing price at the end of each block. Bidders specify a maximum price and total spend; bids only fill when the clearing price aligns with the bidder’s limit. This structure rewards early participation, reduces last-minute sniping, and encourages smoother price convergence as supply per block stays fixed and demand builds over time.
Once the auction concludes, the proceeds automatically seed a Uniswap v4 pool at the discovered price, giving projects immediate, deep liquidity without manual intervention. Teams can also define auction length, starting price, supply sold, tranches, or add custom verification layers such as ZK Passport modules. Uniswap reported that the CCA contract is already live and will receive additional modules to support future token launches in coming months.
UNI Price Forecast
After last week’s sharp pullback from the $11 zone, Uniswap’s UNI token trades at $7.24, facing 7% intraday losses as the crypto market continues to slide on Friday. The daily chart shows UNI finding support near the mid-Bollinger Band (20, SMA) at $6.86, a level that acted as an inflection point during its recent rally.

The upper Bollinger Band at $9.38 remains the next resistance cluster, aligning with the prior breakdown zone and the first major barrier for any attempt to reclaim bullish momentum. The lower band sits far below at $4.33, marking the deeper downside risk if market sentiment weakens further.
More so, the RSI at 53.14 holds above neutral, showing that buyers still retain control after unwinding overbought conditions that peaked near 80 during the breakout. A rebound toward 60 would likely confirm strengthening upward momentum and could propel UNI back toward the $8.50 zone where prior candles stalled.
From a price-pattern standpoint, the bullish pennant successfully resolved upward earlier in the month, meeting its measured-move target before the retracement set in. UNI’s ability to continue holding above the $6.80–$7.00 support band is crucial. A sustained close above this level would set UNI up for another attempt at the $8 handle, followed potentially by a retest of the $9.30 resistance.
If UNI price closes decisively below the mid-Bollinger Band, sellers could press toward for deeper correction towards the $6 psychological support.
