Shorts pay
INJ, despite the general downtrend, is holding above the short-term EMA20 with a positive histogram indicator on MACD, signaling investment readiness; however, Supertrend resistance and BTC pressure keep risks high. Critical supports at 3.49 and 3.28 will be tested, a break above 3.58 could create a buying opportunity.
Executive Summary
INJ, at the 3.51$ level within the general downtrend, is showing short-term recovery signals: price positioned above EMA20, MACD positive histogram, and RSI at 49 neutral, while Supertrend bearish (4.46$ resistance) and BTC decline create pressure on altcoins. The asset, consolidating with a 6.63% drop in 24 hours at 89.52M volume, targets 5.33$ on a 3.58$ resistance break, with below 3.49$ as critical stop-loss; risk/reward ratio balanced around 1:1.5 but BTC correlation mandates caution.
Market Structure and Trend Status
Current Trend Analysis
INJ's main trend is clearly downward: daily and weekly charts continue forming lower lows and highs, with the Supertrend indicator giving a bearish signal marking 4.46$ as strong resistance. In contrast, the short-term (4-hour) view shows price holding above EMA20 (3.44$) exhibiting a local bullish flag pattern; this indicates healthy consolidation in the 3.50-3.76$ range despite the 6.63% 24-hour drop. Multi-timeframe analysis (1D/3D/1W) identifies 12 strong levels: 1D with 2 supports/4 resistances, 3D with 2S/1R, 1W with 2S/4R distribution confirming structural downtrend but balanced by short-term rebound potential.
Structural Levels
Main structural supports identified at 3.4944$ (score 69/100, daily pivot) and 3.2870$ (score 69/100, weekly low), with below these levels activating the 1.4668$ bearish target. On the resistance side, 3.5807$ (score 75/100, strongest), 3.7790$ (68/100), and distant 5.3383$ (67/100) are critical; the latter tracked as bullish target. Per Fibonacci retracements, the 38.2% level at 3.58$, 50% at 3.77$ confluence, volume confirmation required for structural breakout.
Technical Indicators Report
Momentum Indicators
RSI(14) balanced at 49.02 in neutral zone: above 50 crossover brings momentum increase, below 40 could signal oversold – current value indicates local bottom formation. MACD shows bullish divergence; expanding positive histogram and MACD line above signal line confirm short-term buying pressure. Stochastic(14,3,3) indecisive around 45%, but Williams %R at -55 shows recovery signs; momentum confluence synthesized as short-term bullish, medium-term neutral.
Trend Indicators
EMA clustering mixed: price bullish short-term above EMA20 (3.44$), but below EMA50 (approx. 3.65$) and EMA200 (around 4.10$) confirming bearish medium/long-term trend. Supertrend in bearish mode forming 4.46$ resistance, Ichimoku Cloud kumo twist pressuring price below. Parabolic SAR dots above signaling sell, but short-term EMA crossover (9/21) starting to form bullish trail; overall trend bearish but short-term flip potential present.
Critical Support and Resistance Analysis
Supports: 3.4944$ (69/100, nearby strong, volume cluster), 3.2870$ (69/100, psychological 3.30 band). Holding these levels signals rebound, break risks slide to 2.80$. Resistance cluster: 3.5807$ (75/100, most critical, 24h high pivot), 3.7790$ (68/100, EMA50 confluence), 5.3383$ (67/100, 61.8% Fib extension). Multi-TF confirmation expects 3.58$ test; breakout with volume to 3.78$, failure retests 3.49$. Risk management suggests 3.49$ stop-loss, 3.78$ first TP.
Volume and Market Participation
24-hour volume at medium-high 89.52M$; volume increase on decline (no OBV divergence) shows seller dominance, but recent hours' volume profile POC (Point of Control) formation in 3.50-3.60 band signals buyer participation. Daily VWAP at 3.62$ below price maintaining bearish bias, Delta volume giving positive turnaround signal. Market participation low-medium; 100M+ volume confluence required for breakout, current flat OBV trend confirms consolidation.
Risk Assessment
Risk/reward ratio calculation: from current 3.51$, bullish target 5.3383$ (+52%, 1.82$ gain), bearish 1.4668$ (-58%, 2.04$ loss) at 1:0.9 unbalanced – long positions optimizable to RR 1:1.5 with 3.49$ stop. Main risks: BTC downtrend (below 67k hits 64k loss impacting altcoins), general market volatility, and lack of news flow. Volatility (ATR 0.15$) high, max drawdown 20% potential; position sizing limited to 1-2% capital, trailing stop tied to EMA20 recommended. Balanced view: short-term long, medium-term neutral/cautious.
Bitcoin Correlation
INJ highly correlated with BTC (0.85+%): BTC at 67,220$ with 0.94% drop and Supertrend bearish signal suppressing altcoin rally. BTC supports at 67,628$/64,541$/62,910$ critical; below 64k pushes INJ to 3.28$, above 68k breakout triggers 3.77$ INJ target. Rising dominance (BTC Supertrend bearish) carries altcoin outflow risk; monitor BTC 68k resistance in INJ trades, correlation breakout opens INJ 5.33$ path.

Conclusion and Strategic Outlook
INJ technical chart exhibits mixed confluence: short-term bullish momentum (MACD+, above EMA20) expects 3.58$ resistance test, while general downtrend and BTC pressure mandate caution. Strategy: long on 3.58$ breakout confirmation (TP 3.78$/5.33$, SL 3.49$), short to 3.28$ target on failure (SL 3.60$). Volume increase and multi-TF support confluence signal buy, risk management paramount. Long-term 5.33$ potential, short-term consolidation dominant; watch market maker moves. This holistic analysis provides decision-makers full picture, recommending 1-2% risky entries.
