Here’s why Injective [INJ] will drop to the $10 demand zone next

ambcryptoPublished on 2025-08-31Last updated on 2025-09-01

Key Takeaways

Injective was testing a key trendline support at the time of writing. This trendline stretched back to April, and its failure could see prices fall to $12 and $10 in the coming weeks.


Injective [INJ] looked primed for another downward leg, observed crypto analyst Ali Martinez.

AMBCrypto found that the altcoin was bearish across multiple timeframes. The buying pressure to halt the descent at the trendline support was missing.

This weakness could see the price falter and retest the $12 demand zone. A deeper correction to $10.3 would become viable, especially if Bitcoin [BTC] falls toward the $100k mark.

Weekly rejection stalls bullish case

On the 1-week chart, Injective showed a bearish swing structure. The swing points were at $35.26 and $6.34, made in December 2024 and April 2025, respectively.

The $15.48 level marked the local weekly resistance that INJ bulls have tried to breach over the past month. They failed, and over the past two weeks, INJ faced repeated rejection at this resistance.

Even though the CMF was above +0.05 to reflect inflow pressure, Injective prices were still unable to breakout past the $15.5 resistance region.

In the coming days, the 20-period moving average at $12.38 would likely be tested as support.

On the 1-day chart, the trendline support mentioned earlier was under attack.

However, the bullish order block at $12.2 was likely to serve as a demand zone, even if the trendline gave way.

The technical indicators showed bears had the upper hand.

CMF slipped below 0.05, signaling heavy capital outflows. Meanwhile, MACD crossed bearish weeks ago and recently dropped under zero—hinting that further losses were likely.

Lower timeframes confirm bearish drift

The lower timeframe market structure was also bearish. The lower highs and lower lows were marked in yellow. At the time of writing, the $12.67 low was under threat.

Even though the CMF was above +0.05, the bearish structure and low trading volume meant that a move downward was likely.

The $12-$12.1 demand zone would be next week’s price target.

The Verdict in Choi Tae-won's Divorce Case: Revealing the Inheritance Undercurrent Behind SK Hynix's Trillion-Won Empire

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won's high-profile divorce case, involving a record 1.38 trillion won settlement, has drawn attention to the succession plans for Korea's second-largest conglomerate, especially its crown jewel, SK hynix. Unlike traditional chaebol scripts centered on the eldest son, Chey's three children from his marriage to former President Roh Tae-woo's daughter, Roh Soh-yeong, are carving distinct, non-traditional paths. Eldest daughter Chey Yun-jung (b. 1989) is seen as the most evident successor. With a scientific and consulting background, she holds executive roles at SK bioscience and SK Inc.'s growth support department, focusing on future strategy and biopharma. Her marriage is to an AI infrastructure entrepreneur, not a traditional business alliance. Second daughter Chey Min-jung (b. 1991) took a unique route, voluntarily serving as a South Korean naval officer, including an anti-piracy deployment. She later worked on policy and strategy for SK hynix in Washington D.C. before co-founding an AI-driven healthcare startup. She married a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, connecting her to U.S. defense and policy circles—networks crucial for a global semiconductor giant. The only son, Chey In-geun (b. 1995), who studied physics like his father, worked briefly at SK E&S before joining McKinsey. Despite fitting the traditional "heir" profile as the eldest son, he remains silent and holds no public position or shares in SK, suggesting the old succession playbook is obsolete. As SK hynix's valuation soars, becoming a geopolitical asset in the AI era, the heirs' legitimacy is no longer automatic. They must prove themselves in fields like AI biotech, global policy, and strategic consulting. Their marriages also reflect new elite networks in tech and defense, not old political alliances. Their inheritance is the complex challenge of navigating a globalized, tech-driven world, not just a corporate throne.

From OpenSea to OpenRouter: Is Alex Atallah Repeating His 'Exit at the Peak' Playbook?

From OpenSea to OpenRouter: Is Alex Atallah Repeating His "Exit at the Peak" Playbook? According to the Wall Street Journal, payments giant Stripe is in talks to acquire the AI model aggregation platform OpenRouter in a potential deal valuing the company near $100 billion. This would mark founder Alex Atallah's second creation of a company reaching a $100 billion valuation, following his co-founding of NFT marketplace OpenSea. OpenRouter, founded just over three years ago, has grown rapidly by acting as a unified gateway for developers to access over 400 AI models. It currently has about 10 million users and processes over 200 trillion tokens monthly. While the platform's annualized revenue is around $50 million, its valuation has skyrocketed from $1.3 billion in March 2026. The potential acquisition by Stripe, a company OpenRouter's founder once likened it to, represents a major expansion into AI infrastructure for the payments leader. This move echoes Atallah's previous timing with OpenSea, where he departed before the NFT market's significant downturn. For OpenRouter, selling now may be strategic. Despite its scale, its business model—charging a 5-5.5% fee on AI inference calls—faces pressure from competition, open-source models, and potential price wars among model providers, limiting its profitability narrative for an IPO. A key asset for potential acquirers like Stripe is OpenRouter's vast repository of real-world AI usage data, which offers unique insights into model performance and developer preferences that are difficult to replicate. Whether this potential deal signifies a new valuation benchmark for AI infrastructure or another market peak signal remains to be seen.
