Uniswap's V4 Stagnation: Can UNI Break $10 Barrier?

Uniswap, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX), has been struggling to breach the $10 mark in recent weeks, despite attempts to recover from recent losses. The price has remained stagnant below $10, raising doubts about the platform's ability to break free from its current stagnation.

The launch of Uniswap's V4 DEX, which was highly anticipated by the community, has failed to generate the expected level of interest. The adoption rate for V4 has been far slower than prior versions, with V4 currently occupying only 0.01% of Uniswap's entire volume share. In stark contrast, V3 and V2 gained traction quickly, capturing 40% and 20% of the market share, respectively, within just 12 days of their launches.

The lack of enthusiasm surrounding V4's adoption has led to growing skepticism about the use case for this upgrade. Users have been reluctant to shift from the more established V3, and the overall lack of excitement might be putting downward pressure on the token price.

From a technical perspective, Uniswap's price action remains subdued, as reflected by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is hovering below the neutral mark. While there has been a slight uptick in the RSI, indicating some bullish momentum, it remains below the 50.0 threshold. This suggests that the bullish momentum is weak, and the altcoin may face additional challenges before it can make a meaningful recovery. Until the RSI rises above 50.0 and gains sufficient strength, Uniswap will likely struggle to generate a sustained rally.

The broader market cues have also failed to support Uniswap's recovery, leaving the altcoin trapped below the $10 level. The slow pace of V4 adoption only exacerbates the situation, making it difficult for Uniswap to regain the momentum it needs.

Uniswap's price, currently at $9.65, has struggled to breach the $10.06 resistance level since the beginning of the month. The ongoing lack of bullish market cues, combined with the slow uptake of V4, suggests that the price will likely remain range-bound for the time being. If these bearish trends continue, UNI could consolidate within the range of $10.06 and $8.76. This would delay any potential recovery and also leave
