Uniswap rallies 11% after 3 developments – Can UNI push higher?

Uniswap emerged among the top gainers over the past 24 hours, posting an intraday rise of over 11%.

The move came as governance activity returned to focus and UNI’s chart structure showed early signs of reversal. Market participants tracked both developments closely as the price attempted to reclaim key levels.

With momentum building, traders began questioning whether UNI’s rally had room to extend or if resistance would cap the move.

Three major events for Uniswap crypto 

Three important things that happened in the last 24 hours for Uniswap [UNI]. They include the Unification Proposal Vote, the AI Agent-to-Agent Payment, and the KuCoin Listing.

The Unification Proposal Vote from Uniswap’s Founder Hayden Adams was at the top of the list. The governance vote, which runs from the 19th to the 25th of December, suggested burning 100 million UNI tokens after a two-day timelock if it passes.

It turned on the v2 and v3 fee switches on the mainnet, sending fees to burn UNI along with Unichain’s income. Its revenue aligned as 0.05% of swap fees would fund further burns, linking protocol usage to token value.

Furthermore, Uniswap Labs works with governance through a Wyoming DUNA-recognized contract. This makes the protocol more decentralized and efficient.

Thus, it could make up for missed fees from the cumulative volume, increase LP returns through PFDA, and bring all of the Foundation’s work under Uniswap Labs with a $20 million annual budget.

Along with this, AI Agent-to-Agent Payment was moving forward with Coinbase’s x402 V2. This unified stablecoin-based protocol lets AI agents make transactions on multiple chains without any problems.

More fees from such transactions would increase the amount of burned tokens, thus reducing the supply further.

KuCoin’s listing of UnifAI Network (UAI) gives independent AI agents the power to trade and lend without having to write code.

Will the price breakout hold?

While these factors were sparking a bullish outlook for the market, Uniswap price action was breaking out. UNI was breaching a month’s bear structure but was facing a challenge at the $7 zone.

The sell wall at $6 was critical.

For UNI to trend higher, price action needs to flip the current movement. In fact price had declined since the start of August, as per the data.

Upon breaching this sell wall, the next key targets were at $7, $10 and $12 respectively. The ultimate target for price was above the $12 level.

Conversely, failure to breach the sell wall at $6 would mean that bulls are yet to take control of the price. That way, the UNI price would negate the bullish outlook that has made UNI rise past the descending trendline resistance.

Final Thoughts

• Uniswap rallies 11% due to three major events for the blockchain including Unification Proposal Vote, AI Agent-to-agent Payment and KuCoin Listing
• Uniswap price action looked primed from more upside potential but needed to breach the sell wall at $7.
