Injective Price Forecast: Nearing a breakout towards $55

  • Injective price edges closer to a breakout as it trades around $43.
  • The short-term target for INJ bulls would be $51, but $55 could be reached soon.
  • A twelve-hour candlestick close below $34.15 would invalidate the bullish thesis.

Injective (INJ) price has been consolidating for more than two months and is now showing signs of breakout. Patience could see investors realize double-digit gains in the coming days.

Injective price ready to move higher

After more than two months of consolidation, the Injective price is close to breaching the $31.09 to $43.40 range. INJ has produced three distinctive lower highs inside this range. Joining these swing points using a trend line shows that the altcoin faced a lot of selling pressure. 

But the recent spike from buyers has pushed the Injective price to breach this declining resistance trend line level on February 27, resulting in a 13% rally. Interestingly, the liquidation event on March 5 knocked INJ down to retest this declining resistance level, confirming a successful flip into a support floor. 

Now, Injective price is hovering just below the range high of $43.40, attempting to overcome it. As Bitcoin slips into consolidation, altcoins are likely to break out. In such a case, INJ could trigger a breakout, which could result in a quick 17% rally to $51. Considering the said target is close to the $50 whole number, INJ would naturally gravitate towards this level, making this a high probability level for bulls.

If the buying pressure continues to pour in, the Injective price could shoot up to $55, representing a 28% gain.

On the other hand, if Injective price produces a twelve-hour candlestick close below $34.15, it would produce a lower low and invalidate the bullish thesis. Such a development could see INJ revisit the range low at $31.09, or a decline of 9%.
