Whales Trigger a UNI Sell-Off
The price action of Uniswap (UNI) is being heavily influenced by major market players. In the past 24 hours, UNI experienced an 11.95% decline, largely driven by significant sell-offs from large investors, known as whales.
According to data from IntoTheBlock, the market saw 23 bears compared to 12 bulls. Bears—addresses holding up to 1% of UNI’s supply and selling their holdings—took control of the market. During this period, whales traded 11.98 million UNI, valued at $136.4 million. These substantial sales drove the price down and shifted overall market sentiment.
Bearish Sentiment Extends to Liquidity Providers
The bearish wave wasn’t limited to whales. Liquidity providers also began unlocking and selling their UNI holdings, which further reduced token usage. This triggered a drop in broader market participation, accelerating the decline in price.
Decline in TVL and Generated Fees
Bearish sentiment across the market was reflected in the drop in two key metrics: Total Value Locked (TVL) and generated fees.
The TVL, representing the total value of assets locked in UNI liquidity pools, decreased from $5.937 billion to $5.584 billion. This suggests that investors are withdrawing their assets and selling. Additionally, transaction fees fell from $9.24 million on January 20 to $4.49 million, reflecting reduced trading activity and a bearish market tone.
Stable Address Activity Offers Hope
Despite the recent decline, the number of unique addresses participating in UNI transactions has remained steady. These active addresses range between 88,700 and 94,700, signaling consistent activity.
If the number of active addresses surpasses this range, it could positively impact UNI’s price and drive upward momentum. For now, this active cohort has helped stabilize the price and prevented a sharper decline.
Conclusion
The sell-off of UNI by large investors and liquidity providers has led to a price drop and a shift in market sentiment. However, active traders continue to maintain stability. For future price recovery, increased market participation and a revival in activity will be crucial.
