This price level sits roughly 91% above the $3.43 threshold where the site previously argued the market had not yet priced in Uniswap’s live fee switch.

How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for UNI, measured when this story was written up on 15 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio’s Binance spot data shows UNI trading at $6.53 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 48.9% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 49.4%, both indicating near-even selling pressure. These short-term figures contrast with the 24-hour buy ratio of 52.3%, suggesting that while buying pressure was present over the full day, it has faded in the most recent hours. The 1-hour volume delta is -$50,652 and the 4-hour delta is -$251,471, meaning more volume occurred on sell orders than buy orders in these recent windows. Over the last 24 hours, the volume delta is positive at +$1,763,143, showing that net buying outweighed net selling during that broader period.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.7% sits at the 13th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for UNI, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Comparing today's activity to the preceding week reveals a shift in momentum, as the 24-hour buy ratio of 52.3% is 4.5 points higher than the 7-day average of 47.8%. However, the 24-hour spot volume of $37,779,776 is only 0.78x the weekly average, indicating lower-than-usual trading activity. While today marks one of only seven days of net buying in the past week, the 8-day price change remains negative at -4.8%. The total volume delta for the week stands at -$15,121,674, confirming that selling pressure has dominated the broader timeframe despite today's relative balance.
