  • Uniswap price approaches a key resistance level at $7.38 which, if overcome, could lead to a potential rally.

  • Sui price hovers around $3.37 on Tuesday after finding support around a key level last week.

  • On-chain data for UNI and SUI shows Spot Taker CVD and funding rates are positive, signaling buy-side dominance.

Altcoins Uniswap (UNI) and Sui (SUI) are gaining traction this week, showing signs of potential double-digit gains. UNI is approaching a key technical barrier, while SUI has rebounded after testing crucial levels. On-chain data for both altcoins shows that Spot Taker CVD and funding rates are positive, signaling buy-side dominance.

Uniswap and Sui bulls take control of the momentum

CryptoQuant data, as shown in the graph below, highlights buying pressure on UNI and SUI. The Taker CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) for both altcoins has been positive and has increased since early May for UNI and since early June for SUI.

This indicator measures the cumulative difference between market buy and sell volumes over a three-month period. When 90-day CVD is positive and increasing, it suggests the Taker Buy Dominant Phase, while a negative and decreasing value indicates the Taker Sell Dominant Phase.

Coinglass’s OI-Weighted Funding Rate data for both altcoins also shows that the number of traders betting that the price of UNI and SUI will slide further is lower than that anticipating a price increase. Generally, a positive rate (longs pay shorts) indicates bullish sentiment, while negative  (shorts pay longs) indicates bearishness.

The metrics for UNI and SUI read 0.0055% and 0.0071%, respectively, on Tuesday. These positive rates for both altcoins indicate that longs are paying shorts.

Uniswap Price Forecast: UNI could rally if it closes above the $7.38 resistance level

Uniswap price declined after hitting its technical target of the double-bottom pattern, around $7.38 in mid-May, and found support at the key level of $6.04. UNI has been consolidating between the $6.04 and $7.38 levels for the last 23 days. At the time of writing on Tuesday, it trades 4% higher, nearing its key resistance level at $7.38.

Sideline investors looking for buying opportunities could do so if UNI closes above the $7.38 level on a daily basis. UNI could extend the rally by 16% from the $7.38 level to retest its next daily resistance at $8.63.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart reads 61, above its neutral level and pointing upward, indicating that bullish momentum is gaining traction. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator showed a bullish crossover on Monday, signaling a buying opportunity and indicating an upward trend ahead.

However, if UNI fails to break above the $7.38 resistance level and faces a correction, it could extend the decline to retest its key support at $6.04.

Sui Price Forecast: SUI price action looks promising 

Sui price retested and found support around the key level at $3.05 last week on Thursday and recovered 17.81% until Monday. At the time of writing on Tuesday, it hovers around $3.40.

If Sui continues its upward trend, it could extend the rally to retest its daily resistance level at $3.65. Sideline traders looking to accumulate SUI tokens could do so if it closes above $3.65 on a daily basis; it could extend the rally to retest its next resistance at $4.25.

The RSI on the daily chart is hovering around its neutral level of 50, indicating indecisiveness among traders. For the bullish momentum to be sustained, the RSI must move above its neutral level of 50.

Moreover, the MACD indicator on the daily chart is about to flip a bullish crossover on the daily chart. If the MACD generates a bullish crossover, it will provide a buying signal and indicate an upward trend.
