Uniswap says one of Japan's largest securities firms is building a new trading venue on its protocol. UNI is also pushing above a trendline that has held it down since its September peak.
UNI trades near $9.22 today down 2%. Is a bigger move starting? This Uniswap price prediction covers the news, the accumulation signal, and the levels that matter.
Uniswap News: SMBC Nikko Is Building a Trading Venue on Uniswap
Uniswap posted that SMBC Nikko, one of Japan's largest securities firms, is building a new trading venue on Uniswap. The post says compliance runs inside a hook, so each pool is built to Japan's regulatory requirements for investors.
A hook is custom code attached to a pool that can set its rules. The venue is set to launch on-chain in mid-2027.
The launch is still far off. The post also does not say how the venue would affect the UNI token itself.
CoinGabbar could not independently verify the details beyond the announcement.
Uniswap Accumulation Signal: CW Sees a Second Phase Underway
CW posted that UNI shows a very strong accumulation signal, with an accumulation score of 100. Accumulation means buyers slowly add to their holdings, usually while the price moves sideways.
The post says a second phase of accumulation is underway in this range. It adds that at the previous level, a price increase followed two accumulation signals.

CW also says MACD and EMA trends are forming bullish momentum. and CoinGabbar could not verify how it is calculated.
Uniswap Technical Analysis
UNI peaked inside the resistance zone below $11.0174 around September 23. After that, the price made lower highs along a falling trendline, a line drawn across the tops of those highs.
It dropped to the support zone near $8.5506 and held there twice before moving sideways.
The latest 4H candles have now pushed above the trendline. That candle has closed above it, so the move is expected. The 200 EMA at $7.7421 is a long-term average. It sits well below price and is still rising.
Uniswap Price Forecast: Support and Resistance Levels
Level Type | Price |
Resistance 2 | $13.0204 |
Resistance 1 | $11.0174 |
$9.2153 | |
First Confirmed Support | $8.5506 |
Deeper Support (EMA 200) | $7.7421 |
Uniswap Outlook
Bull case: A 4H close above the falling trendline would confirm the push and point toward the resistance zone at $11.0174. Clearing that zone opens the way to $13.0204.
Bear case: If UNI falls back below the trendline and then closes under $8.5506, the support zone would fail. The chart then points toward the 200 EMA near $7.7421.
Uniswap price prediction: Can UNI Reach $13?
The $13.0204 level is the highest level on the chart. UNI would first need to hold above the falling trendline, then clear the resistance zone at $11.0174.
Each level would need to hold on close. The chart's arrow path shows pullbacks along the way, so it is a step-by-step move.
Uniswap price prediction 2026: Expert View
According to CoinGabbar analysts, UNI has moved from a tight range to a test of the trendline, so the next 4H close matters more than the intraday spike. The Japan News is a long-term story with a 2027 launch, and it should not be read as a short-term trigger.
The chart gives the clearer signal: a close above the trendline, then a reaction near $11.0174.
