Injective (INJ) Down 20% As Market Retracement Forces Sell-Off

Source Newsbtc

As the market buckles under the weight of the bearish sentiment, the altcoin market is continually being pulled further down forcing losses to altcoin holders. Injective is one of those altcoins facing massive losses with the token’s price slashed by 20% since last week, representing a strong bearish sentiment in INJ’s market. 

Despite the market’s underperformance, the platform continues to cement itself as a premier Layer 1. Although the losses for investors and traders are painful, continued developments like these will stabilize the shaken investor confidence in both Injective and the token. 

Network Metrics Show Stable Growth 

October started wonderfully for Injective as the platform announced that the network had processed a whopping 1 billion total transactions. This metric shows that the network can cater to a growing number of users which also grew in conjunction with the transactions. 

Injective Hub, an X account dedicated to showing the latest developments on the platform, recently shared that Injective experienced a huge growth spurt in active addresses. According to the post, the platform encountered an astonishing 126%  average active address growth, ranking Injective to be top 1 in the metric outpacing the likes of Sei, Ethereum, Base, and Solana. 

This month, investors and traders should expect more users in the coming weeks as Injective enters into a partnership with Caldera, an Ethereum roll-up platform, becoming a part of Metalayer. This interoperability layer enables omnichain operability for users of the platform. This will enable a new generation of interoperability for the participating blockchains and Injective, introducing the platform to new users on Metalayer. 

Injective Poised For Higher Levels

As of writing, INJ is trading on a green candle as the bulls attempt to break through the $19.94 resistance level in the short term which might be the sign investors and traders are waiting for in the coming days.

The relative strength index also suggests this thesis. Right now, the token is entering a possible reversal area that will affect the growing bullish momentum. The past few days have been bloody for INJ, but the market’s strength coupled with strong on-chain development will affect the token’s price positively in the coming weeks.

INJ’s significant correlation with Bitcoin and the broader market will also play a big role on the token’s future performance. If the major cryptocurrencies continue to slip in the coming days, investors and traders should expect INJ to experience a drop towards $17.71. However, a return to bullishness in the next couple of days will drive the token to stabilize on its current support at level at $18.57.

Silver breaks $64 as precious metals rebound — can gold hold the $4,280 line into the Fed decision?Silver has climbed back above $64 an ounce for the first time this week, leading a broad rebound across precious metals hours before the Federal Reserve delivers what is expected to be its first rate hike since 2023. Spot silver was last at $64.64, up 1.49% on the day, while gold reclaimed $4,300 and platinum and palladium both advanced. The question now is whether the bounce is a genuine turn — or a pause before the Fed's dot plot decides the next move.
