Injective Price Surges 5.17%, But Can It Clear $5.20?

The price of Injective (INJ) has been on a tear, surging by 5.17% in a single session and closing at $5.01 with an intraday print at $5.09 that tagged the upper Bollinger Band almost to the penny.

This move was not just a fluke, buyers stepped in aggressively, and the taker buy/sell ratio confirms bids were running nearly 40% hotter than offers during that push.

The timing of this surge is interesting given the macro backdrop. The DeFi infrastructure narrative has been quietly regaining institutional traction in mid-2026, and Injective is positioned at the exact intersection of what allocators are hunting for.
