Uniswap(UNI) price quickly gained 12% last week, as concerned investors flocked to the leading DEX as leading CEXs battled lawsuits. A week later, the UNI price is down 3% after failing to break the critical $5 resistance level. Will the ongoing loss of traction exacerbate the losses even further?
Uniswap remains the largest Decentralized Exchange globally. However, rivals like PancakeSwap and Balancer have been encroaching on a significant portion of the market share in recent weeks.
Amid rising community concerns, will the Uniswap team be able to attract new investors and spur confidence in the coming weeks?
Uniswap is Struggling to Attract New UsersAccording to the data presented by Glassnode, UNI has been struggling to attract new demand since this week. The chart below illustrates that New Addresses created on the Uniswap network have declined since the recent high on June 10.
Particularly, between June 10 and June 19, it dropped 66% from 733 to 440 new wallet addresses.

Rival DEXs Are Encroaching Uniswap’s Market ShareIn confirmation of the bearish stance, Uniswap appears to be losing market share to its competition’s Decentralized Exchanges protocols.

But the chart below shows that it has since dropped 1,200% from $79.4 million to a lowly $5.93 million at the close of June 18.

UNI Price Prediction: The Bears Could Target $3.75According to IntoTheBlock’s IOMAP distribution data, UNI price will likely enter a bearish downswing toward $3.75.
Currently, the 1,360 investors that bought 9.66 million UNI tokens are expected to offer considerable support when the price approaches its average purchase price of $4.34
If that support folds, as expected, the Uniswap price will likely decline to $3.75.

But as seen above, some of the 2,300 addresses holding 5.2 million tokens at the maximum price of $4.70 could pose significant resistance.
Nevertheless, if that resistance level does not hold, the UNI price could finally reclaim the $5 milestone.
