$UNI just cracked MetaMask's own top-5 swaps list over the last two weeks, right alongside LINK and PAXG. Price is up 10% today and trading near the top of its 24-hour range. But not everyone
$UNI just cracked MetaMask's own top-5 swaps list over the last two weeks, right alongside LINK and PAXG. Price is up 10% today and trading near the top of its 24-hour range.
But not everyone is celebrating. One trader is warning that UNI's entire rally rests on a single partnership staying intact.
This Uniswap price prediction looks at both the momentum and the risk behind it.

MetaMask highlighted $UNI as one of its top swapped tokens on Ethereum mainnet over the past 14 days, alongside LINK, NPC, LIT, and PAXG, in a post recapping user activity on the wallet.
$UNI's rally leans heavily on the assumption that Robinhood keeps using Uniswap as its liquidity infrastructure.
Source: Data From X
The post points out that Robinhood Chain is built and controlled by Robinhood itself, with Uniswap acting only as the liquidity handler rather than the infrastructure owner, so a decision by Robinhood to build its own AMM or switch partners could cut off the fee stream feeding UNI's token-burning mechanism quickly.
The post frames this as $UNI depending on one external partnership rather than a broad DeFi ecosystem and calls that relationship a contract that could change, not a permanent arrangement.
This is one trader's opinion and analysis, not a confirmed development.

UNI trades at $6.4535, up 10% on the daily candle, pushing higher inside a broad rounding-bottom structure that has been building since mid-2025, with converging trendlines pointing toward resistance near $12.0060.
RSI (14, Relative Strength Index) reads 63.54, firmly bullish but not yet in overbought territory.

Bull case: Clearing $7.4843 would open the path toward $9.0025 and then $10.0547, with rising RSI and fresh top-swaps demand from MetaMask users both adding fuel to the move.
Bear case: A close below $5.8228 would expose $5.0122. Beyond the chart, the Robinhood-dependency argument raises a structural risk.
If UNI's burn revenue leans mostly on one external partnership rather than broad DeFi activity, any change in that relationship could pressure price regardless of where support and resistance sit.

Reclaim of $5.8228
$12.0060 is the highest resistance marked on the chart, where the chart's long-term converging trendlines also meet.
Getting there would require UNI to first clear $7.4843, then $9.0025 and $10.0547 in turn, a multi-stage move rather than a single leg.
According to CoinGabbar analysts, fresh swap demand and a strong RSI reading are driving UNI's current rally, but the Robinhood-dependency argument is a real structural risk worth watching regardless of where price sits technically.
The $5.8228 to $7.4843 zone is the range that matters most this week.
