Uniswap (UNI)

cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Bitcoin stabilized around $78,000 after dipping below $77,000 on Monday morning due to new strikes in the Middle East. The asset rebounded by $2,000 but remains confined within this range as bears prevent further upside. Larger-cap altcoins have struggled to recover, with Ethereum holding at $2,450, XRP below $1.40, and BNB under $690.
Bitcoin had previously surged past $81,000 in late August but faced resistance from bears. On Friday, the new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish speech at Jackson Hole, causing Bitcoin to lose value rapidly and drop below $77,000. It recovered slightly to trade above that level on Saturday.
Bulls pushed the price to $79,000 on Sunday before resumed strikes between the US and Iran caused another nosedive. Bitcoin slipped back to $77,000 on Monday before rebounding to $79,000, where it currently sits between these boundaries.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for UNI, measured when this story was written up on 1 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Uniswap is trading at $5.23 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 46.9% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 58.0%. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 48.9%, indicating that buying pressure is currently fading compared to the shorter-term 4-hour window. The 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$228,740, while the 4-hour delta is positive at +$3,392,812, showing that recent selling pressure has offset earlier buying. The 24-hour cumulative volume delta is +$3,504,690, meaning net buying has outweighed net selling over the full day. This flow suggests that while short-term sellers are active, the broader daily trend still favors buyers.
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.
