INJ set to maintain the explosive growth?

INJ’s future looks a whole lot brighter now that Injective has access to more liquidity avenues. But can the cryptocurrency sustain its current trajectory?

INJ delivered a strong bullish performance in the first half of April during which it rallied by 89%. Its $8.76 press time price represented a 585% upside from its lowest 2023 levels.

INJ’s impressive YTD performance demonstrates just how much the cryptocurrency has grown so far this year.

A relief rally might be in the works now that INJ is deep in overbought territory as indicated by the RSI.

A sizable price correction followed the last time that it was this overbought at the end of January. Short traders might have a decent opportunity if history repeats.

A robust profit-taking in overbought conditions may trigger a selloff that would represent an ideal opportunity for short traders. However, the bulls demonstrate relative strength for now, and more upside could still be on the cards.

On-chain analysis

A strong mid-month volume surge confirms higher demand. This likely demonstrates a wave of retail demand coming in towards the tail end of the rally.

INJ maintained healthy volumes at press time, albeit notably lower than its volume on Saturday. Also, the weighted sentiment metric surged towards mid-month but it has been leaning in favor of a bearish expectation for 24 hours.

The weighted sentiment observation underscores a higher probability of a bearish outcome within the next few days.

This is further backed by the fact that there is some incentive to sell since many traders, especially Q1 buyers, are now in the money as indicated by the MVRV ratio which was at its highest level in the last four weeks.

Whether the bears will take over largely depends on whether whales will start selling. So far addresses holding over 10 million INJ control over 74% of INJ’s circulating supply.

The same whale category has drawn down their balances slightly in the last few days. However, it has not been enough to offset the prevailing demand.

Although the top whales are gradually selling, investors should keep an eye out for whether the same trend will continue. It will dictate whether a notable pullback might be on the cards.
