- Injective’s price has risen more than 5% in the past 24 hours, reaching an intraday high of $5.85.
- Bulls could aim for $10, but that depends on clearing the $6 resistance.
- INJ is poised to benefit from broader market momentum and key network developments.
Injective’s native token was among the altcoins that posted gains on December 8, 2025, rising more than 5% to an intraday peak of $5.85 as investor attention shifts ahead of a pivotal week for risk assets.
The INJ price appeared to push toward $6, a level that earlier capped downside pressure on December 4.
Notably, Injective’s advance coincided with a notable uptick in trading activity.
Injective price climbs toward $6 amid rising volume
Injective’s price has been in a downtrend since its all-time high of $52.75 in March 2024. The token remains roughly 89% below that peak and has lost about 25% over the past month.
Recent market gains have, however, helped bulls regain footing, and INJ has recovered from support around $5.
At the time of writing, INJ traded near $5.71, up more than 5% over the previous 24 hours.
Bulls reached an intraday high of $5.85 as they pushed toward the psychological $6 mark. Trading volume also rose to $67 million, an increase of more than 52% in the last 24 hours.
Why has Injective’s price risen?
The token’s advance came alongside Bitcoin’s rally above $92,000 and Ethereum’s recovery above $3,100, contributing to broader market strength that appears to have lifted Injective.
Analysts also pointed to Injective’s recent integration with DexTools, which exposes the chain to 15 million users for real-time asset tracking.
Momentum from Helix, a major decentralized spot and derivatives exchange in the INJ ecosystem, appears to be another key driver.
Helix recently rolled out an upgrade enabling gas-free 24/7 trading of stocks, indices and cryptocurrencies, which has increased interest in the network.

Meanwhile, the community has reacted positively to a governance proposal approving an on-chain equity-pleasing mechanism.
Additionally, progress across stablecoin launches and real-world asset (RWA) initiatives has helped boost the token’s appeal.
INJ price outlook
Although the 24-hour high of $5.85 saw bulls test the $6 level, the technical picture remains mixed. The broader trend is still downward, and a resumption of that decline could spell trouble for buyers.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 44, below the neutral midpoint.
However, the RSI is tilting upward, suggesting a potential breakout. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) also shows modest bullish momentum after a recent bullish crossover.
Going forward, INJ’s path hinges on either a bullish breakout or cautious consolidation.
In the near term, a breakout above $6 would open targets at $8.22 and then $10. Conversely, a drop below $5.05 could pose a significant risk to buyers.
