Crypto analyst The Crypto Dog has provided a bullish narrative for the Injective (INJ) token. As part of his insights, the analyst hinted that the crypto token could outperform Bitcoin soon enough.
Injective To Breakout Against Bitcoin
In an X (formerly Twitter) post, The Crypto Dog shared an INJ/BTC chart while hinting that an “incredibly bullish structure” was forming on the charts for Injective against the flagship crypto token. From the chart, it was obvious that the analyst was suggesting that the INJ token could soon make a massive move against Bitcoin.
However, he didn’t provide details as to when this move could occur and what price levels INJ will hit once this impending breakout happens. Just like Solana’s SOL, INJ was another standout crypto token in 2023, as it rose to almost $40, enjoying a gain of about 3,000% in the process. This was more commendable, considering that it happened in an ongoing bear market.
Interestingly, INJ’s run continued into the new year, with the crypto token hitting its current all-time high (ATH) of $45 on January 9. One of the narratives that is believed to have brought INJ this far is the one around artificial intelligence (AI) tokens, with AI projected to be one of the leading themes in the next bull run.
Injective, a layer-1 blockchain, also prides itself as the first blockchain to offer auto-executing smart contracts and happens to be one of the fastest blockchains out there. With such features, there is no doubt that the demand for the INJ token could continue to be on the rise as Injective’s utility increases.

Other Narratives That Could Lead To INJ’s Rise
The Injective blockchain happens to be interoperable with Ethereum through its cross-chain infrastructure. This could be significant especially as Ethereum continues to see its dominance surge. Once ETH begins to run, INJ could be one of the biggest benefactors since some of the liquidity in the Ethereum ecosystem could easily flow into Injective.
Injective’s distinct burn mechanism is another feature that could be a big plus for INJ’s price. The network is known to carry out a weekly on-chain buy-back-and-burn auction where 60% of fees generated on its protocols are auctioned, with users only being able to bid in INJ. The INJ tokens made from these auctions are then burned and removed from circulation.
These weekly burns are expected to be effective, considering that the token has a maximum supply of only 100 million. So far, close to 6 million of this supply have been burned. Meanwhile, at the moment, there are only just 83.7 million INJ tokens in circulation.
At the time of writing, INJ is trading at around $38, down over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
