$UNI EXPLODES 40% IN 30 MINUTES — BLACKROCK ENTERS THE CHAT
Uniswap just experienced one of the most aggressive vertical moves of the year. $UNI ripped over 40% in just half an hour after BlackRock flipped the switch on DeFi access to its BUIDL fund via Uniswap — and revealed plans to acquire an undisclosed amount of UNI tokens.
This isn’t retail hype. This is institutional capital directly integrating with on-chain liquidity. BlackRock bridging its tokenized fund into DeFi through Uniswap signals something much bigger than a price spike — it’s validation of decentralized infrastructure at the highest level of finance.
TradFi isn’t just experimenting anymore. It’s deploying.
If institutions begin holding governance tokens tied to protocol infrastructure, the DeFi narrative could reprice fast.
Why this setup? 4H LONG signal triggers near key support. Daily trend is bearish, but the 15m RSI at 44.93 shows oversold conditions on a smaller timeframe, suggesting a potential counter-trend bounce. Entry zone (1.4326 - 1.4480) offers a tight risk against the daily downtrend.
Debate: Is this a dead cat bounce or the start of a genuine reversal?
Why this setup? RIVER demand-led structure setup on 4h; 1D is range-bound, so the edge comes from execution at the zone. Execution box: (17.785-18.281) (mid ≈ 18.033). ATR 1H: 0.991 (~5.5%) → risk is quantifiable. Lower TF RSI (15m) 65 → momentum is supportive, not overheated Rule: keep 16.384 intact. Target 19.520 first (~8.2%), RR ~0.90. If pressure persists, extension points to 21.007 (~16.5%, RR ~1.80). Acceptance beyond 16.384 = thesis broken.
Debate: Do buyers get RIVER to 19.520, or does it keep trending to 21.007?
