If this move signals an intent to liquidate or stake UNI, as Coinbase Prime often facilitates large-scale trading or custody for institutions, it could trigger volatility in UNI and generally lead to a short-term correction in the Uniswap price. Therefore, traders should exercise caution regarding this move.
Uniswap's technical outlook shows resistance around its 50-day EMA
Uniswap price retested and found support around its August 5 low of $4.70 on April 9, and it has recovered nearly 27% in the last two weeks. However, at the time of writing on Tuesday, it faces resistance around its 50-day Exponential Moving Average at around $6.28 and is declining slightly.
If the 50-day EMA continues to hold as resistance, UNI could extend the decline to retest its next support level at $5.52. A successful close below this could extend an additional decline to test its August 5 low of $4.70.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 53, just above its neutral level of 50, and points downwards, indicating a fading of bullish momentum. However, if the RSI slips below its neutral level, it suggests a rise in bearish momentum and a sharp decline in Uniswap price.

Conversely, if UNI breaks and closes above its 50-day EMA at $6.28, it could extend the rally to retest its psychologically important level of $7.
