Although INJ closed the week up 1.11% in a narrow range ($4.47-$4.71), it is positioned in a critical consolidation phase with its main downtrend structure and bearish momentum indicators. The market structure will clarify at decisive points like above $4.75 resistance; BTC’s sideways movement continues to pressure altcoins.
INJ in the Weekly Market Summary
INJ closed the week at $4.66, recording a 1.11% upward movement, but this superficial gain reflects a consolidation week limited by the trading range of $4.47-$4.71. Volume profile remained mediocre at $28.77M, while the primary trend is confirmed as downtrend. RSI at 42.78 is in the neutral-bearish zone, MACD gives a bearish signal with a negative histogram, and price remains below EMA20 ($4.95). In the big picture, the question of whether INJ is accumulating or distributing within the long-term downtrend is extremely important; in the macro context, BTC’s sideways trend and bearish supertrend present a cautious outlook for altcoins. This week, critical supports were tested for INJ detailed spot analysis, while INJ futures market data signaled preparation for volatility.
Trend Structure and Market Phases
Long-Term Trend Analysis
The long-term trend structure shows a clear downtrend character; on the weekly chart, the higher highs and higher lows structure has broken down. Price is trading below critical moving averages like EMA20 and EMA50, while remaining under the $5.66 trend filter resistance. From a market cycle perspective, the distribution phase appears complete after the peaks at the end of 2025, and now a correction phase supported by consolidation is observed. Breaking this structure requires a move above $5.26 resistance; otherwise, the downtrend remains intact, with high risk of slippage toward the $4.16 main support. From a portfolio manager’s perspective, this trend structure makes patience and confluence waiting mandatory for position trades.
Accumulation/Distribution Analysis
Accumulation/distribution patterns give mixed signals in the weekly summary: The narrow range ($4.47-$4.71) carries accumulation phase characteristics, but low volume and bearish MACD make distribution risk dominant. Volume profile at $28.77M points to POC (Point of Control) around $4.60, while Wyckoff methodology tests the lower boundary of the accumulation box at $4.16. Distribution patterns emerging: High-volume rejection observed at $4.75, implying smart money may be closing positions. In the long-term horizon, transition to accumulation phase is conditional on volume increase and BTC-supported rally; currently, distribution characteristics dominate.
Multi-Timeframe Confluence
Daily Chart View
On the daily timeframe, INJ shows 2 support/2 resistance confluence among 9 strong levels: $4.47 (score 64/100) held as support, but RSI at 42.78 is approaching oversold. MACD with bearish crossover confirmation is short-term bearish, price below EMA20. Critical confluence at $4.75 resistance (score 81/100); this could form a daily higher low or open the door to breakdown. For INJ and other analyses, the daily view could gain momentum toward $4.16 if $4.47 breaks.
Weekly Chart View
On the weekly chart, resistance-heavy view with 2 support/3 resistance confluence: $5.26 (62/100) and $5.66 as main barriers, upside objective $7.34 (31/100) distant. Trend intact as long as above $4.16; downside risk $2.03 (22/100). Market phase between accumulation/distribution, but no bullish shift without weekly close above $4.75 with bearish supertrend filter. Multi-timeframe confluence highlights the $4.75 pivot for position trades.
Critical Decision Points
Main supports: $4.1600 (68/100) – last defense for downtrend, breakdown triggers downside cascade to $2.03. $4.4696 (64/100) intermediate support, weekly low here. Resistance pivots: $4.7544 (81/100) – most critical inflection point, breakout brings weekly bullish shift. $5.2621 (62/100) secondary target. These levels will define market structure; since confluence scores are high, stop-losses should be positioned accordingly. Strategic R/R upside $7.34 / downside $2.03 around 1:2.5, attractive in bearish scenario.
Weekly Strategy Recommendation
In Upside Case
Weekly close above $4.75 activates bullish scenario: First target $5.26, then $5.66 trend filter. Long positions entry around $4.60 POC, stop below $4.47. Allow rally to upside objective $7.34, BTC above $92k supportive. Position sizing max 2-3%, trailing stop with EMA20.
In Downside Case
Break of $4.47 or $4.16 confirms bearish: Short entries on $4.47 breakdown, targets $4.16 and $2.03. Stop above $4.75. Downtrend intact, distribution phase continues; BTC below $89k supportive. Risk management critical, target R/R 1:3.
Bitcoin Correlation
INJ shows high correlation with BTC; while BTC is sideways at $90,750, altcoin pressure persists. BTC key supports $89,096 / $87,611 / $84,681 – drop here accelerates INJ $4.16 test. Resistances $92,284 / $94,436 – breakout triggers INJ upside. BTC dominance and bearish supertrend caution: INJ independent movement difficult, longs risky without BTC above $92k.
Conclusion: Key Points for Next Week
Next week focus: $4.75 resistance and $4.47/4.16 supports – weekly close dependent on these. BTC $89k-$92k range determines INJ volatility. Watch for volume increase and RSI divergence; downtrend dominant, bullish shift conditional on confluence. Position traders be patient, stay tuned for INJ and other analyses.
