Top Crypto Price Predictions: NEAR Protocol, Uniswap, Zcash

The broader crypto market stabilized on Sept. 18 after absorbing the Federal Reserve’s latest rate increase and the Senate’s failed CLARITY Act cloture vote.

Bitcoin remained around $76,000-$77,000, while several altcoins recorded stronger gains. NEAR Protocol, Uniswap and Zcash were among the assets showing elevated momentum.

The Federal Reserve raised its target rate by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00% on Sept. 16. The Senate separately failed to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the CLARITY Act by a 49-50 vote a day earlier.

Those events remain potential sources of volatility. However, technical setups in NEAR, UNI and ZEC now point to several levels traders are watching.

Near Protocol Price Prediction

NEAR token has staged a strong comeback despite the ongoing artificial intelligence (AI) jitters. Its surge coincided with the recovery of most AI companies like Nvidia and AMD. Other AI tokens like Venice and ICP were also in the green.

NEAR price soared as its demand jumped. Its 24-hour trading volume rose 148% to $1.22 billion, with market capitalization approaching the crucial $4 billion resistance level.

The daily chart shows that the token has soared in the past few months, moving from a low of $0.8490 in February to the current $3. It has soared by 255% from the YTD low, making it one of the market’s best-performing tokens.

Technicals suggest the token has more upside. It has jumped above the 50-day and 100-day moving averages. A closer look shows that the token is slowly forming a cup-and-handle pattern, with the upper side at $3.08 and the lower side at $1.5400. This cup has a depth of $1.54. As such, adding this amount to the cup’s upper side gives its a target of $4.62.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD indicators have also continued to rise, a sign that momentum is gaining. These technicals suggest that the coin will continue rising as the AI boom gains steam.

Uniswap Price Prediction

UNI price has also rebounded in the past few months and is now trading at its highest level since November 2025. This rebound accelerated as data shows that the volume was on the platform was rising. It has handled over $48 billion this month so far, meaning that it will pass the $54 billion that it handled last month.

UNI token jumped as its volume continued accelerating. The 24-hour volume jumped by 90% to $1.2 billion. The token has jumped from a low of $2.32 in June to the current $7.6625. It has already moved above the key resistance level of $7.4615.

Most notably, it has formed a golden cross pattern, which consists of the 50- and 200-day moving averages crossing each other. Therefore, the token will likely continue rising as bulls target the next key resistance level of $10, which is about 30% above the current level.

Zcash Price Forecast

ZEC price has been in a strong bull run this year and is now trading at a record high. It has soared as demand for its shielded tokens has increased and as the recently launched ZEC ETF jumped. It has surged as data shows that investors are being interested in privacy tokens.

The token has now soared above the crucial resistance level of $1,288, its highest point on September 9. It has surged above all moving averages, a sign that bulls are in control for now.

The most likely scenario is that the token continues rising, potentially to the next psychological level of $1,500. On the flip side, a drop below the crucial support level of $1,288 will invalidate the bullish outlook.
