Uniswap [UNI] sellers took control of the market on Aug. 31 and were on the verge of a bearish breakout from the near-term range of $4.50 – $4.94. But the price action moved higher towards the low as of this writing and could present another short opportunity for late sellers.

The low of $4.5 was a stubborn resistance during the June recovery. As such, it can turn into a bull headache, especially if Bitcoin [BTC] falls below $26,000. If so, the price rejection at $4.5 could push UNI lower towards the June low of $3.64.
Such a downward spiral could give late sellers a short opportunity with an entry position of $4.5. The take profit levels will be $4.2 for conservative players and $0.3.94 for aggressive players. But the latter was a riskier undertaking.
Conversely, a convincing recovery from the lows ($4.5) and a move above $4.67 will invalidate the short setup.
Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index and Chaikin Money Flow had negative numbers, indicating subdued buying pressure and weak capital inflows.

According to Coinglass, UNI was more affected by the liquidation of long positions than short positions. More than $860k longs were racked within 12 hours before press time. During the same period, shorts faced liquidations below $10,000, underlining the bearish bias on the higher time frame charts.

However, weighted financing rates showed impressive signs of recovery, pointing to improving sentiment. However, a move and subsequent close above $4.5 could confirm a bullish bias.
Thus, tracking the BTC movements is crucial for better optimized setup and risk management.
