Injective starts the day with a bang as INJ, the platform’s native token gained over 12% in the past 24 hours. This can be attributed to the market’s surprising rally, complemented by a market cap that is up by over 6% after its dip earlier this week.
The rally is also due to Injective’s recent achievements that spur some buzz within and outside their community. Investors might find some value on INJ as it continues to grow and innovate.

With interest in crypto increasing in traditional finance, the growing convenience of onboarding crypto into their portfolios will make a huge difference. This has occurred already, with more and more crypto-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) being announced since then.
INJ Trading At A Trendline Pointing Upward
Looking at INJ’s chart, the token is currently situated on its late-November 2023 level that preceded the December rally occurring that same year. If it were to happen again, investors might see huge gains in the long term as the market warms up for more action.
However, INJ bulls are facing slight resistance on $18.02 as the candle flips red. This difficulty might slow the bullish momentum, lowering volatility as the token floats between $18.02 and $21.16. A slight pause might transpire in the short term as bulls take advantage of the low volatility to gain momentum once more.
As recession fears die down along the way, bullishness in traditional finance might continue with major indices like the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones spotted making gains which has a huge upside probability in the long run. But analysts like 8th Wonder believes that the current rally is a short squeeze as the current movement is a classic squeeze: a sharp and short uptick in price before being followed by a free fall.
If the price of major cryptocurrencies are in fact in a short squeeze, investors will inevitably feel pain in the long run.
