Injective (INJ) was commended for its consistent performance throughout the past year by a cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter this morning. According to the analyst, INJ has shown considerable strength, and although it’s not running “hot” 24/7, its dips are usually shallow and it seems to outperform most altcoins the majority of the time.

$INJ considerably strong this whole year. It's not running hot 24/7 but dips are always shallow and it seems to outperform a lot of the time.

At least one CEX coin decent hold. I've got a bag from 2020, holding thru til 2024, 2025. Have taken a few leveraged longs past year, too pic.twitter.com/VrnxWO1pWX

INJ has demonstrated its resilience by emerging as one of the few cryptocurrencies to remain unaffected during the recent market crash. According to data from CoinMarketCap, INJ exhibited a price increase of over 4% within the last 24 hours of trading, reaching a trading value of $7.59.

Consequently, INJ’s price positioned it slightly below its peak of the day at $7.66. The surge in the altcoin’s price was also accompanied by a notable 39.57% uptick in its trading volume throughout the past day. As a result, INJ’s trading volume reached $79,718,267.

Daily chart for INJ/USDT (Source: TradingView)

From a technical standpoint, INJ was trading just below the major resistance level at $7.750 at press time. Should it succeed in closing a daily candle above this level, then it will have very few obstacles in the way preventing it from reaching $9.085 in the following week.

However, a daily candle close today below the 9-day EMA line at $7.471 will invalidate the bullish thesis. In this scenario, the cryptocurrency’s price will be at risk of falling to $6.80 in the next 48 hours. Continued sell pressure may even drag the altcoin’s price down to the next crucial resistance level at $5.990.

Traders and investors will want to take note of the fact that the 9-day EMA line was attempting to cross above the 20-day EMA line at press time. If these 2 technical indicators cross, then short-term momentum will switch in favor of bulls.

Thereafter, the 9 EMA may also cross above the 50 EMA line. This will signal that medium-term momentum has shifted from negative to positive as well. Subsequently, INJ’s price may climb to the aforementioned resistance level at $9.085.
