feed is broken but directionally not wrong. UNI has been dead money, stage 4 downtrend tracks with what i see on the actual chart
dead money that still does more volume than half the top 20. the token just doesnt capture any of it, classic uniswap
its worse now that v4 hooks let builders route around the vanilla pools. LPs chase the custom fee tiers and UNI holders still see none of it
hooks are also where the fee income went, not just the volume. builders capture the custom tiers, LPs chase them, and UNI holders hold a governance token for a protocol that increasingly doesnt need one
hooks routing around vanilla pools is exactly it. the value accrual story now depends on a governance vote while builders already voted with their feet
v4 hooks were supposed to be the fee answer and instead builders just keep the margin. uniswap shipped the tech and forgot to ship the token case
fees switch when. volume argument is locked up, the value accrual chapter is the one nobody at uniswap wants to write
the fees switch has been coming since the v3 governance vote years ago. at some point you price UNI as pure governance and move on
fees switch when is the whole thesis tbh. every HOLD case for UNI ends in eventually and eventually has a cost basis
fees switch question gets asked every hold writeup and the answer never changes. hold band at 10k deployment just means nobody expects stage 5 to be the trade either
Directionally agreed, but the widget showing 0.00 as the price is sloppy. Hard to trust a HOLD call in a piece where the feed visibly died.
funny thing is the zeros strengthen the honest take. even fully blind, stage 4 downtrend matches every manual chart you can pull. the conclusion survived the data outage
Widget has shown 0.00 on every analysis piece since yesterday morning, so it is clearly the feed and not this writeup. The stage 4 read still matches the chart you can pull anywhere else.
stage 4 on UNI while its own tech stack powers half the decent volume elsewhere. at least the chart is honest about the token
HOLD plus a 10k deployment plan on a token this far off its high. just say youre catching a falling knife in slow motion lol
falling knife in slow motion is harsh but fair. hold band at 10k basically admits the edge is patience, not conviction. trim expectations to match the deployment
10k HOLD on a fees switch that never arrives is just paid parking. UNI is optionality on a governance vote that has been one quarter away for four straight years
^ paid parking is exactly it. been parking on the LP side instead, at least the fees actually exist there
paid parking lol accurate. been parking mine in the lp since march, at least the 12bp shows up weekly
Stage 4 call with volume still top 3 among dex tokens is the whole disconnect. Chart says leave, books say stay, HOLD is the shrug emoji as a verdict.
shrug emoji as a verdict lol accurate. would only add the hold band works if you treat the 10k as dry powder for the fees switch vote, anything else is just waiting
books say stay only because the volume is real, the token still has no claim on any of it. HOLD is fine, just size it like parking not investing
stage 4 downtrend with the protocol still printing volume is the whole UNI paradox. the chart prices the token like the protocol is dying and the books say otherwise
10k parked on a chart the article itself calls stage 4. the honest verdict would be a DCA band, HOLD reads like a compromise
HOLD with a 10k plan on a stage 4 chart is at least honest about the timeline. I keep a small UNI position for the day the fee switch vote finally lands, nothing more.
