The crypto market saw immense growth and adoption in 2023, with new projects launching and established ones seeing meteoritic rises.
Two such projects that stood out were
Injective
Protocol (INJ) and the newly launched
Bitcoin
Minetrix.
INJ
saw massive 2000% gains last year, while
Bitcoin Minetrix
aims to revolutionise Bitcoin mining.
Let's dive into the details and price analyses of both:
Injective Protocol's Monumental Price Movements
INJ was one of the top performers of 2023, with its price skyrocketing over 2000% and even gaining 30% in the last 30 days alone.
At the time of writing, INJ is trading around $40, slightly below its all-time high of $43.3 hit in late December 2023.
Noted analyst Golden_Star1994 provided key insights into INJ's price action on TradingView:
"The four-hour time is inside a trending range, it has tried several times to stabilize higher ceilings, but was unsuccessful, now it has fallen again when it reaches the four-hour supply area and has entered the form of a descending channel. It is registering lower highs and lower lows, on the other hand, Bitcoin has fallen, which is not without effect. Currently, the four-hour demand area has stopped ING from falling, if this area is broken down, the selling pressure will increase and it can easily fall to the $29 and $19 targets. Pay attention to the demand area (32.20-33.80), by breaking this area, look for selling positions."
This analysis indicates INJ is still in a short-term downtrend after hitting its all-time high. There is a key demand zone between $32.20-$33.80, which if broken, could see prices fall to $29 or even $19. However, this demand area is currently providing support.
Looking at the long-term 6-month chart, INJ has strong support around $31.34, aligning with the 1.618 Fibonacci retracement level. This is a key level that could halt any further drops. The relative strength index (RSI) on this timeframe is 61.
RSI measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes to analyse overbought or oversold conditions. A reading of 61 shows bullish momentum is still intact in the longer-term.
Additionally, the 200-day moving average sits at $14.98. The 200-day MA is a widely watched indicator that smoothes out short-term price fluctuations to identify the primary trend. INJ trading well above this level shows it is in a long-term uptrend. As long as the 200-day MA holds as support, the uptrend can continue.
Injective also saw strong growth in its staking protocol, with over 47.7 million tokens now staked, representing 47.7% of total supply. This has led to an impressive 15.96% APR for those staking INJ. Crossing 50% staked would be a huge milestone for decentralization and security.
Recent data published on January 15th revealed significant expansion in Injective's staking protocol. As of January 14th, over 47.7 million INJ tokens were being staked, representing 47.7% of total supply. This has resulted in an impressive 15.96% annual percentage rate (APR) for those securing the network.
Moreover, Injective has seen consistent monthly increases in staked volumes and new delegates joining. In response, the development team boldly predicted half the token supply will soon be staked.
Lastly, Injective launched its Volan mainnet update in January 2024 to bolster scalability and compatibility. This monumental upgrade aims to significantly expand Injective's user base and ecosystem growth.
Bitcoin Minetrix - Revolutionising Cloud Mining
Bitcoin Minetrix is an exciting new platform built around the groundbreaking Stake2Mine protocol that aims to revolutionize Bitcoin cloud mining. This long-neglected sector stands to benefit greatly from the new app, set to bring democratization and transparency to the process.
Bitcoin Minetrix offers a simple solution for people who can’t afford expensive mining rigs and electricity bills that come with traditional Bitcoin mining. Users can stake BTCMTX tokens and receive mining credits redeemable for Bitcoin. This allows targeting optimal times to maximise mining profits.
The project has already built tremendous hype and demand, evidenced by raising over $8.4 million in its presale alone. This level of presale success highlights Bitcoin Minetrix’s potential to rapidly garner attention and users once live. Given the substantial funds raised, the project can execute its ambitious roadmap and ramp up operations quickly to establish itself as a top cloud mining contender.
The project accepts various cryptocurrencies for purchasing BTCMTX, including ETH,
USDT
, credit cards, Matic, and BNB. However, staking rewards can differ based on the payment method. Those using BNB or Matic may receive less than the headline 78% APR.
Bitcoin Minetrix focuses heavily on security and transparency by leveraging user-friendly wallets like MetaMask. The straightforward onboarding process involves buying tokens, staking, and reaping BTC rewards.
The ambitious roadmap first targets exchange listings, marketing pushes, and building mobile/desktop apps after the presale. Ongoing partnerships with cloud mining companies also showcase strong expansion potential.
Upcoming priorities include launching stake-to-mine interfaces, enabling Bitcoin withdrawals, and eventually allowing users to exchange mining credits for hashing power. Long-term goals encompass increased marketing, expanding into mining rentals, and strategic operations.
Conclusion
Injective Protocol and Bitcoin Minetrix both represent exciting innovations within the cryptosphere, catering to staking and cloud mining respectively. INJ marked incredible growth in 2023, while Bitcoin Minetrix offers an easy entry into Bitcoin mining through its novel tokenomics. It will be interesting to monitor the continued trajectory of these projects through 2024 and beyond.
