Bitcoin [BTC] dropped from $29.6k on 14 August to trade at $29.1k at press time. Although this was only a 1.66% drop, it has affected the sentiment in the altcoin market heavily. Uniswap faced intense selling pressure over the past 24 hours.

The range formation (green) for UNI extended from $5.7 to $6.7. Over the past week, the mid-range mark at $6.2 saw some skirmishes between buyers and sellers, but a conclusive winner did not emerge until 15 August.

The strong selling pressure forced UNI to nosedive below the $6.2 and $6 levels. At the time of writing, UNI was trading at $5.84 and within a bullish order block on the daily timeframe. This demand zone had confluence with the range lows as well.

Therefore, if a reversal were to occur, this would be the ideal spot. Yet, the OBV jumped below a short-term support level as selling volume rocketed higher. If BTC losses continued, it looked very likely that UNI would drop to the next zone of support at $5.2. A drop below $5.7 and a retest of the same could offer a shorting opportunity.
