Injective (INJ) has hit a five-month high after retesting a crucial resistance level on Monday and attempting to break out from a bullish pattern. Some analysts suggested that the cryptocurrency will have a massive run in the coming weeks. Related Reading: Bitcoin Demand Builds at $117K: Cost Basis Distribution Defines Key Support Level Injective Retests Crucial Levels Over the past month, Injective has recorded a substantial bullish performance, climbing 40% since late June, when the cryptocurrency traded below the $10 support. Since hitting its December high of $35.26, INJ has retraced around 60%, falling below this key support multiple times. During the April-May market recovery, the cryptocurrency broke out of its multi-month downtrend and climbed to its $10-$15 local price range, hitting a multi-month high of $15.48. However, the June pullback sent the token’s price to the $9 support zone before it bounced, tested the $10-$12 area, and broke out of its one-month downtrend in early July. At the time, analyst Crypto Rand suggested that a breakout above the $12 resistance level would “trigger the bull reversal,” which would push the token’s price toward the local range high. Injective has been attempting to reclaim the crucial $15 range high since its early July breakout, hitting a five-month high of $16.35 on Monday and passing the $16 barrier for the first time since February. Amid the token’s momentum, Crypto Rand noted that “INJ following the path, we are going straight to $30” as the first stop.” He added that Injective has become the Layer-1 (L1) with the highest code commits over the past 365 days. A recent report showed that the network is leading with 36,500 commits, 3.2% ahead of other L1s. Is A Rally To New Highs Near? Analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that Injective could see a 66% rally if it breaks out of a triangle formation. According to the chart, the cryptocurrency has been forming an ascending triangle pattern since March, with the key resistance level sitting around the $15 area. Amid its start-of-week pump, the cryptocurrency briefly broke out of the pattern but ultimately failed to hold above the crucial resistance. Notably, INJ fell below the $15 mark after failing to reclaim this level, retracing 10% intraday. However, reclaiming the key resistance would propel Injective to $25, a level not seen since January. Meanwhile, market watcher Crypto Patel pointed out an inverse Head and Shoulders pattern forming on Injective’s chart over the past six months, which could propel the token to a new yearly high if it breaks out. He highlighted that the INJ’s rising trendline support remains intact, while the pattern’s neckline has been retested twice, with the price compressing between these two levels. To the analyst, Injective needs a daily close and hold above the $16.20 area to confirm the breakout. If it reclaims this level, the setup would target a 153% move toward $41 mark, with the post-breakout initial targets sitting around the $26.36 and $34.32 resistances. Related Reading: TRON Sees $1B USDT Mint: Liquidity Wave Incoming? On the contrary, he affirmed that falling below the $12 support zone would invalidate the setup, which could also send the token’s price to the next support level around the $10 mark. As of this writing, Injective trades at $14.70, a 4.6% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com

On-chain data shows the Ethereum Exchange Reserve has plunged by more than 1 million ETH over the past month. What does this mean for the asset? Ethereum Exchange Reserve Has Seen A Sharp Decline In a new post on X, analyst Ali Martinez has talked about the latest trend in the Exchange Reserve of Ethereum. The “Exchange Reserve” here refers to an on-chain indicator that keeps track of the total amount of ETH that’s sitting in the wallets associated with centralized exchanges. When the value of this metric goes down, it means the investors are withdrawing a net number of coins from these platforms. Generally, holders take their coins to self-custodial wallets when they plan to hold into the long term, so such a trend can be a bullish sign for the cryptocurrency. Related Reading: Bitcoin Remains Flat—And The SSR Ratio Might Explain Why On the other hand, the indicator’s value observing a decline suggests the inflows into exchanges outweigh the outflows. As one of the main reasons why investors use exchanges is for selling-related purposes, this kind of trend could be bearish for the asset’s price. Now, here is the chart shared by the analyst that shows how the Exchange Reserve for Ethereum has changed during the last few months: As displayed in the above graph, the Ethereum Exchange Reserve has seen a sharp drop recently, implying the investors have withdrawn a large amount of the asset. More specifically, the holder have taken out more than 1 million tokens of the cryptocurrency (worth about $3.8 billion at the current price) from the exchanges over the past month. Alongside this withdrawal spree, the ETH price has enjoyed a bull rally beyond the $3,800 level, indicating that the accumulation wave could be a driving factor behind it. The Exchange Reserve may be to keep an eye on now, as where it heads next could also end up having an effect on the asset. In some other news, the Ethereum Taker Sell Volume has just seen a sharp spike, as CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has pointed out in an X post. The Taker Sell Volume here refers to a metric that keeps track of the volume of sell orders (in USD) that are being filed by traders in Ethereum perpetual swaps. From the chart, it’s apparent that this metric has just observed two huge spikes. Across these, Taker Sell Volume has totaled at a whopping $2.68 billion.

Bitcoin is gradually regaining its footing after a brief pause in its upward momentum. At the time of writing, the asset is trading above $118,000, reflecting a 10% increase over the past month. Despite this modest recovery, Bitcoin remains approximately 3.1% below its all-time high, which was reached earlier this month. The current market phase suggests a period of cautious recalibration, as traders assess the sustainability of the latest price movements amid fluctuating on-chain and exchange metrics. One of CryptoQuant’s QuickTake contributors, Darkfost, has drawn attention to a key trend among short-term Bitcoin holders. According to his analysis, on-chain traders, those actively buying and selling on spot markets, are only seeing 13% unrealized gains at present. This segment refers to holders of BTC aged between one and three months, who typically represent more reactive and sentiment-driven behavior. Compared to prior bull cycles, where profits reached as high as 232% in 2012 and 150% in 2021, the current cycle has shown far more restrained profitability, peaking at just 69% before slipping lower. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally Signal? Analyst Links Binance Spot Volume Surges To Price Upswings Bitcoin Short-Term Holder Behavior Points to Caution Darkfost emphasized that even though Bitcoin’s price remains close to record highs, the current low profit margins held by short-term investors, whose realized purchase price averages around $104,000, may explain the lack of widespread selling. These holders may be waiting for stronger gains before taking profits. However, the analyst warned that if market conditions deteriorate further and these holders start to incur losses, their eventual capitulation could lead to a rapid sell-off. Historically, such capitulations have coincided with price corrections, but also presented entry opportunities for longer-term investors seeking favorable market conditions. In a related post, fellow CryptoQuant contributor BorisVest explored activity among large Bitcoin holders. He noted that whale inflows to Binance have risen sharply, with the 30-day cumulative inflow metric jumping by $1.2 billion in a single day on July 25. This sudden surge coincided with downward price pressure and a rejection at the $120,000 level, sending Bitcoin back toward the $115,000–$116,000 range. BorisVest highlighted that although retail investors have also been transferring coins to exchanges, their activity remains relatively modest in comparison, suggesting that large holders are playing a more dominant role in current market moves. Whale Inflows Add Pressure to Key Support Zone The imbalance between retail and whale inflows is creating a fragile support structure, according to BorisVest. The analyst pointed out that if the current support range around $115,000 fails to hold, Bitcoin could decline toward the $110,000 level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Eyes Bounce off This Support Level In Reversal Campaign For $121,000 Conversely, a strong rebound from this area might set the stage for another push toward the $121,000 mark or even new record highs. The market’s direction in the near term is expected to hinge on how effectively buying demand can absorb the current wave of whale-driven selling.
