During the rally, INJ’s 24-hour trading volume rose by 31.33% to $2,831,536,478 while the market capitalization soared by 20%. This rally shows that there is buying interest and demand for INJ stock, which supports the bullish case brought about by the 6 million INJ token burn.

The immediate resistance level for INJ is around $32.07, the day’s peak, which might act as a psychological barrier. If INJ can break and hold above this level, it could open the door for further gains.

On the negative side, the previous support level was at $28. 00 where the price was trading before the recent bounce up. This level could offer a floor to the buyers if the price reverses, which in turn, might prevent further selling.

Breakout from Prolonged Accumulation

The recent breakout of INJ from a two-month consolidation period that started in mid-April is significant. Moreover, the token had been trading in a narrow range around $29 before finally breaking out and pushing the price higher.

Another factor that has fueled the rally is the recent positive Consumer Price Index (CPI) news that has boosted the macroeconomic environment. This breakout is in line with technical analysis, which implies that there may be further upward movement.

Consequently, the trading volume for INJ derivatives has risen by 18.08% to $903.64 million. This rise indicates increased market action and could be indicative of increased liquidity, which would lead to more robust and enduring bull rally. Furthermore, the open interest in derivatives has risen by 32.46% to $165.98 million. This indicates that fresh funds are flowing into the market, with traders opening new positions in anticipation of future price fluctuations.
