UNI’s short-term recovery can be boosted with Bitcoin [BTC] sticking to the $29k price area.
The bullish recovery stopped
The price of UNI has been falling since April 19. The bearish order block in the $6.3 price area stopped the bullish momentum with a price crash below the $5.7 support level.
Bulls were able to halt the bearish momentum with a rally from the $5.2 support level. However, the bullish rally failed to break past the USD 5.6 – USD 5.7 area.
A look at the Visible Range Volume Profile tool on the four-hour time frame showed that the Value Area High (VAH) and Value Area Low (VAL) were $6.4 and $5.6, respectively. Buyers encountered resistance at the VAL ($5.6) with a bearish order block below that served as a catalyst for price rejection.
The RSI crept above the neutral 50 and the OBV recorded a slight increase. However, both experienced a sharp drop afterwards, suggesting that the bullish rally was fading.
A four-hour candle near the VAL could provide further buying opportunities for UNI bulls. Alternatively, bearish momentum could force a retest of the $5.2 support level.
