Injective price has more upside as developer commits rise: analyst

As a seasoned cryptocurrency analyst with over a decade of experience in the industry, I have seen my fair share of market fluctuations and trends. The recent price surge of Injective (INJ) over the past six days, marking its longest winning streak this year, has caught my attention.


The INJ token’s price has experienced a six-day upward trend in 2024, marking its longest streak of gains to date. On Wednesday alone, it surged by more than 12%, making it the standout performer among the top 50 cryptocurrencies.

The INJ rally commenced on July 5th following a significant decline to $16.93, spurred by a sharp drop in Bitcoin and other altcoins. Since then, it has surged by more than 54% from its lowest point this month, as the cryptocurrency industry’s mood notably enhanced.

Bitcoin recently encountered a significant test at the pivotal price level of $65,000. Meanwhile, the Crypto Fear & Greed Index shifted from the fear sector with a reading of 38, up to the greed sector at 58.

Injective’s developer activity is rising

As a crypto investor in Injective, I’ve noticed an intriguing development – the surge in developer activity within our ecosystem. According to the data, we’ve witnessed an average of over 700 weekly commits for the past seven weeks straight. Previously, Injective was only averaging around 200 weekly commits. This significant rise indicates that our network is expanding rapidly.

In the realm of blockchains, the quantity of developer commitments serves as a significant indicator. This metric reflects the level of activity, the state of the project, and the degree of community involvement in the platform. Moreover, it provides insights into the blockchain’s security, since a high number of commits implies that developers are actively working to improve and fortify the underlying codebase.

TheInjective token experienced a surge as the trading volume in derivative contracts rebounded. As demonstrated in the graph below, daily trading volume in the derivatives market reached approximately $109 million on Tuesday, marking an increase from $98 million recorded on Monday. An uptick in derivative market activity is generally considered a promising indicator.

Analysts are bullish on Injective price

Currently, Helix, the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) network, is experiencing a surge in usage. According to CoinMarketCap data, the network processed trading volumes exceeding $114 million on Wednesday, positioning it as the 32nd most active DEX within the industry.

As a financial analyst, I’ve observed that Injective, a venture with notable backers like Mark Cuban and Pantera Capital, has experienced significant growth recently. Specifically, its staking market capitalization has surpassed $1.53 billion. This growth has been particularly attractive to investors, who are currently earning an impressive annual yield of approximately 20%. This high return rate sets Injective apart in the industry.

In the investing community of INJ, there is a notable apprehension regarding the valuation of Injective. With a market capitalization exceeding $2.4 billion and a decentralized finance (DeFi) total value locked (TVL) under $50 million, Injective presents an intriguing discrepancy. Its DeFi ecosystem consists of merely 17 dApps, which is relatively small given its focus on the financial services sector.

Certain crypto investors hold a positive outlook for Injective’s price trend, with the key resistance level marked at $33, which was the peak reached in June. Meanwhile, another market analyst has predicted that the value of INJ tokens could potentially reach $100.

$INJ has burst through its previous resistance levels, demonstrating significant strength. With approximately 60% of its tokens currently staked, a strong upward trend appears imminent. This pattern mirrors the one we witnessed during the last price surge, suggesting a potential repeat of those price movements.— DevKhabib (@DevKhabib) July 17, 2024
