These will facilitate more customizations in the way fees, swaps and LP positions interact.
UNI’s price analysis
Despite the news of Uniswap V4’s release, UNI’s price action lacked excitement at press time and has been on a bearish trajectory since the start of August. However, its latest downside just pushed it back into oversold territory.
UNI exchanged hands at $4.36 at press time, but will these findings trigger a bullish resurgence now that it is oversold? Well, there is a chance that it might extend its downside to or below the $4 mark.
This is an important level because it previously highlighted a support and accumulation zone. The price bounced back to the same zone in June, followed by a 50%+ rally.

One might expect that bullish momentum will start building up based on the above observation. This is evident in UNI’s weighted sentiment metric, which recently peaked at a new monthly high at the end of August.

This confirmed that traders anticipated a bullish outcome. Perhaps the biggest sign that the bulls might take over is the recent whale activity.

Notably, top exchange whales have been accumulating UNI in the last two weeks. The amount held by top whales in general grew slightly from its monthly low to its press level.
