Uniswap price outlook as UNI attempts recovery rally

Following the stark fall, Uniswap price is trying to nurture a recovery rally on the daily timeframe with the position of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 50 and the Awesome Oscillator still in the positive territory inspiring hope.

Increased buying pressure above current levels could see Uniswap price extend to test the supply zone ranging from $6.321 to $6.690. To confirm the continuation of the intermediary trend, UNI market value must record a decisive daily candlestick close above the midline of this order block at $6.514.

In a highly bullish case, Uniswap price could flip the supply zone into a bullish breaker, using it as the jump-off point to target the range high at $7.130. Such a move would constitute a 16% climb above current levels.

On the other hand, a subseuent rejection from the supply zone could see Uniswap price drop lower, potentially losing the $5.944 support level. A break and close below this level on the daily tomeframe would invalidte the overball bullish outlook, potentially setting the tone for UNI to drop towards the $5.500 level or in the dire case, extend a leg lower to the $5.000 psychologial level. Such a move would denote a 20% drop below current levels.
