Technical indicators suggest mixed momentum
Technical signals for INJ show mixed momentum. In November, the 13-day moving average (MA) crossed above the 49-day MA, forming a Golden Cross and signaling a bullish trend.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was at 47.63, showing neutral to bearish momentum as it stayed below 50. The downward slope in the RSI reflects weakening buying interest.
For buyers to regain control, the price would need to break back above the $29.06 resistance, with a potential upside toward $32 in the near term.
