Injective Price Forecast: Rally extends on first-ever INJ staked ETF approval

Source Fxstreet

Injective is up 5% on Thursday, building on its 9.51% gains from the previous day.
Nasdaq approves listing of Canary Staked Injective ETF under ticker INJC, which would stake at least 90% of its holdings.
INJ futures Open Interest recovers amid a positive funding rate, suggesting buy-side dominance.

Injective (INJ) attracts buyers for the third straight day on Thursday, following the announcement that Nasdaq has approved the listing of the Canary Staked Injective Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) on Monday. Injective derivatives data point to firm buy-side dominance among traders as its Open Interest and funding rate rise alongside the spot price. The technical outlook for INJ indicates an upside bias, as the near-term rally is close to flipping the prevailing downside momentum to bullish.

Injective holds firm retail demand on the first-ever INJ ETF approval

Injective shows a steady recovery this week, aligning with the post-midterms rally in the broader crypto market. However, the initial catalyst for the rally in INJ price was Nasdaq’s Form 8-A listing approval of the Canary Staked Injective ETF (INJC) application on Monday. The ETF aims to stake 90% of its holdings, with BitGo as custodian, providing brokerage-account access to INJ and staking rewards for institutional and retail investors in the US.

Still, Canary’s INJC must secure the S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to begin public trading.

On the retail side, Injective is gaining retail strength in the derivatives market. According to CoinGlass, the INJ futures Open Interest (OI) is at 18.38 million INJ tokens, up from a recent dip to 17.34 million on Tuesday, suggesting a positional buildup, while the funding rate at 0.0102% suggests that traders are willing to pay a premium to buy fresh long positions.

Given that broader market sentiment remains constructive, renewed retail interest ahead of the staking ETF projects further upside for Injective.

Technical outlook: Will the Injective token reclaim $10?

Injective trades above $8 at press time on Thursday, holding a constructive bullish bias with three consecutive days of gains. INJ remains above both the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $7.43 and the 200-day EMA at $6.16, now acting as support bands.

INJ also trades comfortably above the rising support trendline connecting the August 18 and September 4 lows near $7.05, suggesting that the broader uptrend structure remains intact.

Momentum is mildly positive on the daily chart, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovering around 56, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line is on the verge of crossing above its signal line, suggesting upside momentum is building but not yet impulsive.

Looking up, the immediate resistance for INJ aligns with the September 19 high around $8.40. A sustained breakout above this level could target a $9.41 peak from October 16, beyond which the $10.00 psychological threshold could come into focus.

On the downside, initial support is at the 50-day EMA around $7.43, ahead of the support trendline near $7.05, which is expected to act as a deeper technical floor if a pullback extends.

Bitcoin lost its 200-day average — but the exit started three sessions before the CPI Bitcoin fell 2.5% to about $73,400 on 11 November, an 11-week low, breaking its 200-day moving average near $73,100. The 24-hour liquidation tally reached $632 to $705 million, roughly 82% of it longs. But spot ETF outflows began three sessions earlier and USDT's market cap has shrunk $6.6 billion in 60 days — the leveraged length left before the inflation print did. A double top at 81,890 and 81,080 leaves a measured target of 69,366.

Nvidia slid 7.7% after hours while AMD and Broadcom rose — the AI trade changed hands, it didn't break Nvidia closed Wednesday at 173.73, up 2.87%, then fell as much as 8.1% to 159.44 after reports that its board was preparing for a possible leadership change. The same session, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose 5.7% with all 30 components higher, CoreWeave jumped 24.7% on 168% revenue growth, and Micron added 11.9%. If AI demand were being repriced, AMD and Broadcom would not be bid. This is a governance discount on one name, and 204.54 — the 200-day average — is the level that settles it.

Gold hit a one-year low while central banks bought 321 tonnes — the sellers were never the ones you think Spot gold closed at 3,876 on Thursday, down 2.8% and its lowest close in more than a year, with an intraday low near 3,852. The dollar is at a 19-month high of 103.21 and the 10-year yield is at 5.10%, so the price move is easy to explain. What is harder to explain is who sold: central banks bought 321 tonnes in Q3, the PBoC added for a 24th straight month, ETF holdings are near a record 4,256 tonnes, and roughly 95% of the futures selling came from non-reportable and sovereign-type accounts rather than hedge funds. This piece separates the two books that have to balance.

Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same week Brent January settled at 95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI at 88.74, up 2.55%, after the US signalled it would not pursue a deal with Iran and attacks on Gulf shipping continued. In the same week, EIA data showed US crude inventories rising 4.657 million barrels against expectations of a 1.1 million draw, with gasoline up another 1.799 million. OPEC output also rebounded 1.96 million barrels a day to 27.16 million in October, led by Saudi Arabia at 10.56 million.
