DEX aggregator 0x published research on Sept. 14 under the headline “Uniswap v4 hooks were a mistake,” arguing that most v4 hooks it has analyzed are built to quote one price and settle another. Uniswap founder Hayden Adams replied early on Sept. 15 that it was a “skill issue.” The question the discussion raises is: who is responsible when a permissionless pool advertises a price it does not honor. 0x says the hook design itself pushes that cost onto routers and the wallets and apps built on top of them. Uniswap and Paradigm say aggregators should vet which hooks they…

The chart clearly defines a classic trend-reversal pattern, with the left shoulder forming in June, the head bottoming out in early July near $57,800, and the right shoulder solidifying mid-month. Moreover, Bitcoin has broken out above the descending resistance line of a multi-week falling wedge. The main technical target sits in a golden zone between the 1.618…

Since then, Ethereum has pulled back and has been trading around $2,474 as of writing. At this level, buyers are continuing to defend higher lows for Ethereum. This has created a tightening triangle, with rising support meeting resistance near the recent highs, reflecting a balance between bulls defending lower prices and bears preventing further increases. The shape of this triangle looks similar to an earlier triangle that had formed before a 30.91% increase, adding credibility to…
