Uniswap (UNI) has surged in the social dominance department, peaking on December 25 at 20.46%. Uniswap is seen to win the popular vote as it topples other cryptocurrencies in the social arena.

Here’s a quick look at how it is performing:

UNI price drops 1.26%
Uniswap critical support spotted at $5.09
UNI dominates the crypto space in terms of social dominance

On the other hand, UNI still looks bearish, which could linger on for quite some time. According to data by CoinMarketCap, UNI price was trading at $5.07, down 5.2% in the last seven days.

The price could even slide further down if the coin fails to hold on to its current support level.

The MACD histogram has fallen below zero, which indicates an increase in the amount of pressure being exerted by sellers.

UNI Technical Indicators: Seller Aggressiveness

Uniswap’s technical indicators show that sellers are more aggressive than buyers in the coming days.

Uniswap, with the daily trading session, hinted at the formation of a descending triangle pattern. It also demonstrates a long-term bearish trend considering that the price dangles within the 100 and 200 SMA.

The upper Bollinger Band sits at $5.25, while the lower Bollinger Band is currently at $5.32, which suggests a bearish trend for Uniswap. This market pattern is seen to continue for an extended period.

On the brighter side, Uniswap’s price may increase once it successfully breaches the $5.4 level. However, if the coin barrels past the key support level, it could aggravate the losses.

Now, in order to reverse the negative sentiment, the bulls should maintain the support level and push the prices way up.

UNI Search Volume Among Traders Climb

In terms of social dominance and volume, UNI sits at 6,902 crests, which means that search volume has increased among the traders.

Traders now see the spike in social dominance as an opportunity to rake in profit from UNI. In fact, Binance funding has increased by 0.009%. However, despite the spike in investor interest, Uniswap still needs to increase in value.

In November, Uniswap rolled out an NFT aggregator as the market was bullish then. However, the tide has turned, and UNI NFTs did not seem to tickle the fancy of many investors as NFT trades have plummeted to only $7,562.

While UNI is dominating social volume and dominance, this might not go on for long, as the social volume and price seem to plunge further in the coming days.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that's not just a metaphor, it's a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.

Christian's journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).

Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling - right up his alley!

So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he's one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).

Think Christian's all work and no play? Not a chance! When he's not at his computer, you'll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.

Speaking of chill, Christian's got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.

Here's the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day - and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.

Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors - and bosses - he deeply respects.

So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
