It’s important to note that some anticipated UNI to see a sharp selloff because of the widespread distribution of the valuable tokens but it seems that the buy-side pressure has outweighed the inflows of the 400 tokens sell orders from the users of the platform.

Analysts are now noting that they are waiting for the Uniswap token to see further upside in the near-term. One trader even set the sights on a move towards $5.00 which could mark a huge surge of the current sub $3.00 price level. uniswap has been leading the defi market trend and became the platform of choice for token investors and liquidity providers.
