INJ Price Squeeze Setup Loading: Smart Money vs Retail Showdown

INJ's price has been trading at $5.01 after a 3% intraday drop, but analysts believe this could be a 'shakeout' rather than a breakdown.

The smart money is holding a net long edge, and open interest has surged 6.67% into the selloff, indicating that traders are initiating new positions on the buy side into the weakness.

The derivative structure confirms this, with a divergence between retail and smart money positioning - retail is shorting into a 'smart money trap', while top traders are quietly long.

This setup has historically led to sharp directional breaks in mid-cap Layer-1 tokens like INJ, making the next 24-48 hours critical for its near-term structure.
