UNI is currently trading at $7.04 after rising to as high as $7.63 at 03:35 UTC. It is currently testing the $7.00 level as support, which had been a point of resistance over the past week.

If UNI holds above $7.00, it could establish a firm level of support before springing toward $10, which spurred a rejection in February.

CoinMarketCap's Altcoin Season Index is currently at 25, the top-end of a bitcoin-centric market but rising significantly since last month, when it was at 12. The index signals an altcoin market when it passes through 75.
