UNI traded near $9.61 on September 26 after rising from $2.35 to $10.85 during the third quarter and breaking above a descending triangle that had contained the token since its 2021 peak of $45. Buyers were defending support at $9.33, while resistance stood near $9.93 and the next major hurdle at $12.30. A sustained move above $12.30 would put $15.10 and $17.50 in focus, while a break below $9.33 could expose $8.37, followed by wider support near $8.25 and $6.35. Momentum has cooled after the sharp rally, leaving UNI between a confirmed quarterly breakout and unresolved short-term resistance. Token Terminal data showed $20.9 billion in tokenized-stock DEX volume over 30 days, with Uniswap v4 handling 40.7% and v3 19.4%, for a combined 60.1% share. In a separate comparison covering Uniswap v2, v3, v4 and Curve across Ethereum, v4's share reached 50%, up from 31% in August 2025, while v2's share fell from 5% to below 1%. V4 held the leading monthly position from March 2026 through the latest reading. The September 30 PCE inflation report is a scheduled macro event that could affect rate expectations and volatility around UNI's chart levels, but protocol activity does not establish a fixed value for the token.
