DeFi Roars Back: Uniswap Shatters $88B Volume Milestone as UNI Eyes $12 Breakout
Decentralized finance shakes off its bear-market hangover as Uniswap''s trading volume explodes past $88 billion—proving once again that crypto''s most resilient protocols thrive when traditional finance hesitates.
The UNI token''s surge toward $12 signals growing confidence in DeFi''s core infrastructure, even as Wall Street struggles to reconcile blockchain''s permissionless innovation with their compliance-heavy playbooks.
While bankers debate ''institutional adoption,'' Uniswap''s liquidity pools quietly execute more volume than some national stock exchanges—no KYC forms required.

The 1-day chart revealed a bullish breakout beyond the local resistance levels at $6.62 and $7.55. The breach of the latter level highlighted bullish intent, with the price action structure already in favor of the bulls after the rally to $7.55 in early May.
The OBV has been volatile over the past six weeks, but the recent rally saw the volume indicator make a new high. While this underlined strong demand, the CMF showed the opposite. With a reading of -0.05, it reflected capital outflows since the early May rally.
The CMF takes into account the money FLOW over 20 days, while the OBV is the cumulative sum of the daily trading volumes, which explains the difference.
For traders trying to make their decision, the CMF presented a warning signal. However, the UNI push beyond $7.55 may be the deciding factor. Moreover, the moving averages signaled bullish momentum.
Over the past month, the 50 DMA has acted as a reliable support level. Hence, traders and investors can flip their bias bearishly only if this dynamic support is lost and anticipate the rally to continue.
