UNI +7% for the day — taking a long is scary, and shorting against the trend is risky? Let’s analyze a strategy that allows you to profit from volatility and sleep peacefully!
📊 Current analysis of UNI/USDC:
- Price: $6.71 (+6.9%)
- Volatility: Max 24h = $7.11 | Min 24h = $6.23
- Volumes: 759K UNI ($5M USDC) — good liquidity
- Indicators:
- EMA(20) = 6.71 > EMA(50) = 6.58 → bullish signal
- RSI(14) = 55.11 → neutral zone
- MACD: -0.015 → minimal bearish impulse
💡 Futures hedging strategy:
1. Opening positions (example on $100):
- Long 60% ($60) with leverage x3 → equivalent to ~8.9 UNI
- Short 40% ($40) with leverage x3 → risk balance
2. Position management:
🔹 If UNI rises to $7.00 (+4.3%):
- Fixing 50% of the long (+$2.58 profit)
- Closing 30% of the short (-$1.29 loss)
- Net profit: +$1.29
🔹 If UNI drops to $6.40 (-4.6%):
- Long is at a loss (-$2.76)
- Short is in profit (+$1.84)
- Result: -$0.92 (but you minimized the loss!)
3. Optimization:
- With RSI > 60: increase the short position
- When breaking EMA(50): reassess the position balance
📌 Why futures?
✅ Leverage: controlling a larger position with less capital
✅ Funding rate: currently neutral (~0.01%)
✅ Flexibility: you can quickly change direction
⚠️ Risks and nuances:
- Liquidation: with a leverage of x3, a stop-loss is mandatory at ±5%
- Volatility: UNI can move sharply — do not overload the position
- Timeframe: optimal 4h-1d for hedging
