Rejection At $18.3 Might Derail Future Gains
Even though INJ has skyrocketed as the market returned to bullishness, the token still faces some resistance in the coming days. As of writing, INJ’s upward momentum was rejected by the $18.3 resistance level which may be a sign that bulls are struggling to maintain their current momentum.
In this sense, INJ’s high correlation with Bitcoin –and by extension, the broader market– has significant implications for its future price movement. However, the relative strength index has been relatively stagnant, staying within the midrange, indicating that the bulls and bears are struggling to gain control of the market.
The token’s rejection might be the start of a correction phase that places it well below $17.1 in the short term. However, strong development along with strengthened investor confidence might slow INJ’s descent in the coming days.
Investors and traders should exercise caution in the coming days as bears might flip the token’s momentum to break through the $17.1 support level. If the bulls can hold their ground in the next couple of days, INJ has another shot at retesting the crucial $23 resistance level.
