Injective (INJ) is trading near $4.60, facing heavy selling pressure as bearish signals dominate the short-term charts. Despite a 24-hour volume close to $60 million and a market cap above $450 million, the token struggles to shake off downward momentum for now.
Technical Trends Keep INJ Under Pressure
The price recently slipped below the 20-day Bollinger Band midpoint around $5.00, hinting at weakening buyer interest. Several bearish candlesticks confirm sellers have the upper hand, with resistance solidly forming near $4.95 to $5.00. The Ichimoku Cloud adds to the downtrend, as INJ remains below both the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines, while the cloud itself blocks upside movement between $4.95 and $5.10.
Volatility is increasing as the Bollinger Bands widen and the price nears the lower band, indicating bears are firmly in control. A break above $5.10 could flip the situation, potentially driving the price toward $5.40 or even $5.80. Until then, support levels at $4.35 and $4.20 remain critical floors to watch.
Community Buyback Aims to Support Token Value
Injective has launched a sizable community buyback for August, aiming to remove over 33,000 INJ tokens from circulation. This burn program is among the largest the project has ever conducted and is designed to boost the token’s deflationary profile and encourage ecosystem activity.
- 33,000+ INJ tokens to be permanently removed
- Rewards offered to participants in the buyback
The move could help counterbalance short-term bearish pressure if it encourages renewed buying interest. However, the price will need to reclaim key resistance to confirm a sustainable rebound.
