UNI is the best-performing cryptocurrency (from the top 100 list) today (September 18), posting a whopping increase of 30% and reaching a 10-month high of nearly $9.20.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what fueled the rally and what the next potential targets are.<\/p>\n

The Catalysts<\/h2>\n

Perhaps the main driver of the move is the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The regulator issued<\/a> its Innovation Exemption, which gives temporary relief for on-chain trading of certain tokenized stocks. Hayden Adams (inventor of the Uniswap Protocol and CEO at Uniswap Labs) said<\/a> the most bullish news is not the official statement, but the comment letter from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, which reads:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTruly decentralized systems that are driven by autonomous software\u2026 do not need an exemption.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Adams said this sort of immunity applies to permissioned pools on Uniswap v4, creating a pathway for compliant trading in the US for assets and users where that is necessary.<\/p>\n

Another catalyst is the broader recovery of the cryptocurrency market, which, despite the CLARITY Act\u2019s failure<\/a> and the interest rate hike<\/a> in the United States, is in green territory today. Bitcoin (BTC) surpassed $78,000, Ethereum (ETH) reclaimed $2,500, while popular altcoins like NEAR, WLD, DOT, and HYPE have jumped by double digits over the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n

According to multiple analysts, UNI has much more fuel left to post additional gains. X user Altcoin Sherpa believes<\/a> the next area is around $11 if BTC remains steady.<\/p>\n

CW anticipates<\/a> the asset\u2019s upward trajectory to proceed \u201csmoothly\u201d up to $12.75, where the long-term trend line and a sell wall exist. \u201cIt will encounter strong resistance thereafter,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n

For his part, Crypto With Gopal noted<\/a> that UNI is pushing toward the $10 resistance after a long consolidation inside a rectangle structure. He thinks a clean breakout above this level could signal a major momentum expansion to the $20 target.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the token\u2019s Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a short-term pullback may be coming. The ratio has increased to 88, signaling that UNI has entered an extreme overbought zone and could be due for a correction. Conversely, readings below 30 are typically seen as buying opportunities.<\/p>\n
