Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP updates

• Bitcoin (BTC) Spot Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) observed $30.6 million in outflows on Wednesday. The largest crypto-asset by market capitalization trades at $61,039 at the time of writing on Thursday and adds nearly 0.6% value on the day.

Chart of the day: Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap ranks among tokens that yielded relatively high gains for holders in the last 24 hours. UNI added over 10% to its value sometime in this period, trading at $8.081 at the time of writing on Thursday. UNI broke out of its downward trend on October 5.

UNI gears for extended gains and eyes for a rally to the upper boundary of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $8.799 and $8.585. UNI could rally by over 10% from the current price level. 

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows green histogram bars, signaling underlying positive momentum in UNI’s price trend. 

UNI/USDT daily chart 

If Uniswap closes below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $7.196 the bullish thesis for UNI could be invalidated.
