Will the 50% Fib Level Save Bulls?
A Fibonacci retracement tool (yellow) was placed between the late May swing high and the June low on the 4-hour chart. The 61.8% Fib level of $4.61, below the post-FTX level, has been a key resistance in recent days.
The 38.2% Fib ($4.24) and 50% ($4.42) Fib levels acted as immediate support levels during the recent pullbacks of the recovery period. At the time of writing, UNI reached the 50% Fib level ($4.42) and could break it if BTC drops below $26.6k.
Thus, sellers must remove the hurdles at 38.2% Fib ($4.24) and 50% ($4.42) Fib levels to extend profits to $4.00 (23.6% Fib level) .
An upward move could be possible if UNI turns bullish by crossing the $4,710 post-FTX level and the 78.6% Fib level ($4.87).
Meanwhile, the RSI (Relative Strength Index) fell below 50, and OBV (On Balance Volume) registered a pullback, suggesting a drop in buying pressure and demand.
