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.

Nvidia's $150 billion buyback landed — and the AI sector fell anyway. That's the signal worth tradingNvidia closed up 1.68% at $228.86 on 28 September after announcing a $150 billion share repurchase authorisation, the largest single corporate buyback on record, while the rest of the AI complex sold off: AMD -3.6%, Micron -2.6%, Meta -4.8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index -1.61%. The divergence is not noise. Capital is rotating toward cash-flow certainty, not abandoning the AI theme. With Micron reporting after the close on 30 September, here is what the split means.

The 30-year Treasury just hit a 22-year high — and the bond market is not pricing the Fed, it is pricing the deficitThe 30-year Treasury yield closed at 5.56% on 28 September, the highest since June 2004, while the 10-year reached 5.24% and the 20-year 5.60%. The curve has steepened roughly 30bp in eight sessions even as October hike odds sit at 70.3%. That gap is the story: the long end is repricing fiscal and inflation risk, not policy. With PCE on Wednesday and payrolls on Friday, here is what the long end is really saying.
