Analysts predicted UNI could hit $100 in the next altcoin cycle, driven by V4’s dynamic fees and hooks, which enable advanced DeFi strategies and attract institutional investors. Trading volume grew by $38B in November 2024, pre-launch, signaling strong ecosystem momentum. However, post-launch, UNI’s price struggled, trading at $5.80–$13.43 with repeated rejections at $14 resistance. Market feedback on X highlights V4’s $550M TVL and Unichain’s outperformance, but macroeconomic factors, like inflation fears and crypto market corrections, have capped UNI’s upside. The Uniswap Unleashed liquidity incentives on Unichain (April 2025) could drive future growth if adoption accelerates.
