At this point, traders are known to start taking profit.
INJ’s Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio confirms that the coin may be overvalued. As of this writing, the value of this indicator is 128.71%.
This indicator measures the ratio between the current market price of an asset and the average price at which all coins or tokens were acquired.
If this number is above 1, it means that the current market value of the asset is much higher than the price at which most investors acquired it. This is considered overvalued, and most traders sell for profit at this level .
INJ price prediction: The current upward trend is not strong enough.
Although prices have risen 9% over the past week, bears still dominate the market in INJ. This can be seen, for example, by looking at the directional movement index (DMI) readings.
This indicator measures the strength of an asset's trend. At press time, INJ's negative directional index (red) is 29.40, exceeding the positive index (blue) of 19.83.
When an asset's DMI is set this way, it is a bearish signal indicating that selling pressure is greater than demand for the asset.
INJ's Arun uptrend is at 0%, indicating that the current uptrend is weak. This indicator measures the strength of an asset's trend and identifies potential price reversal points.
If the Arun ascending line is close to 0, the upward trend is weak and the most recent high was reached a long time ago.
If the speculative buying stops, INJ will lose all its profits and trade at $19.67.
However, if the current trend continues and real demand for the coin starts to increase , it could rise to $22.80 .
