Uniswap Token (UNI) Tops All-Time High — Will Defi Index Follow?

Uniswap Token (UNI) reached an all-time high price of $34.92 on March 8, 2021.

Since it successfully completed a support retest, UNI is expected to continue increasing towards higher levels.

 

UNI Celebrates All-Time High 

UNI had been increasing rapidly since the beginning of the year. However, it reached a then all-time high price of $32.99 on Feb. 20 and started to decrease after. 

The drop continued for roughly a week, but the token has been moving upwards since then. 

The price broke out on March 7, creating a bullish engulfing candlestick, and reached an all-time high price of $34.92 the next day. 

The breakout is likely valid since the MACD broke its bearish trendline and the Stochastic oscillator is close to making a bullish cross.

DEFI Index

The DEFI Index reached an all-time high price of $2,711 on Feb. 20 but has been decreasing since.

The movement between Feb. 13-20 looks like a completed irregular flat correction. Therefore, the index is expected to increase and move towards a new all-time high.

While the RSI and MACD support this, the DEFI Index has to clear the $2,300 resistance area before potentially moving higher. 

If it does, the next closest resistance areas would be found at $3,411 and $4,560. These targets were found using the same external retracement levels used in the previous section.

Conclusion

Despite being at an all-time high price, UNI is expected to continue increasing towards the $42-$57 range.

The DeFI index is expected to eventually reach a new all-time high, following in the footsteps of UNI.
