*Quick take*
INJ cooled off after a massive May rally. Still up 83-86% in 30 days, but profit-taking hit after hitting 6-month highs at $6.62.
*What’s driving it*
1. *May parabolic run*: Jumped from $3.05 mid-April → $6.80 late May. Catalysts: Native USDC from Circle, first CFTC-regulated INJ futures in US, Binance US staking launch
2. *Supply squeeze*: ∼58% of all INJ staked + buyback-and-burn mechanics reduced liquid supply. Exchange outflows + short squeeze fueled the 22% single-day candle May 13
3. *DeFi growth*: Native USDC replaced risky bridged stables, opening $77B regulated liquidity for derivatives/money markets
*Key levels*
- *Support*: $5.71-$6.20 zone, then $5.02 MA-20. Break below risks $5.40-$5.03
- *Resistance*: $6.20-$6.62 immediate. Break above targets $7.06 7-day high, then $7.50
- *Momentum*: Above MA-20 $5.02, MA-50 $4.07, MA-200 $4.25. RSI 64 = elevated but not overbought
*Outlook*
Short term: Consolidation $5.71-$6.62 likely. Bullish structure holds above $6.20. Profit-taking risk with record exchange inflows
Medium term: Bullish trend intact with ascending triangle pattern. Supply squeeze + USDC + staking keep pressure if adoption grows
Note: Still -87.6% from ATH $52.94 March 2024 6733
