INJ · 1H · DOWNTREND
The completed long from my last read hit its 8.22 target and then kept going — price reached 8.30 before reversing hard. Since then INJ has fallen from that 8.30 area all the way through 7.58, through 7.25, and is now sitting at 7.258 after tagging a low of 6.863. That flush took out both the prior invalidation level and the target from the read before that — the structure that supported those longs is now broken. This 1H chart is printing lower highs and lower lows from the 9.40 peak all the way to the 6.86 low: a clean downtrend on this timeframe, within a daily range that the higher-timeframe read calls SIDEWAYS. Price is currently in a weak bounce off 6.86, sitting right at 7.26, with no base built and no reclaim of any meaningful level. The liquidation map is stacked against longs here: dense clusters at 7.12, 6.92, and 6.77 sit below, and the ones above at 7.40, 7.58, and 7.74 are all former support that has now flipped. Funding is positive — longs paying shorts — meaning the crowded side is long in a downtrend, and that is a squeeze waiting to happen. I'm not buying this bounce. The only trade I see here is a short on a rally back into resistance, and I need to see the rejection confirmed before I act.
SHORT SCENARIO
Confirmation
7.40
On a rally to the 7.40–7.58 zone, a 1H close back below 7.40 confirms the rejection. The 7.40 dense cluster is the first magnet above; 7.58 is the flipped support that is now the ceiling. I need price to trade into that band and fail — not a touch, a confirmed close back through 7.40.
Invalidation
7.74
A 1H close above 7.74 — that reclaims the next dense cluster above and signals the bounce has structural legs, not just short-covering.
Target 1
6.92
Dense liquidation cluster below, the nearest structural magnet and where I expect the first stall.
Target 2
6.77
Next cluster below, extended target if 6.92 clears with momentum.
Risk/Reward
(7.40 − 6.92) / (7.74 − 7.40) = 0.48 / 0.34 = 1.4:1
Resistance: 7.40 / 7.58 / 7.74
Support: 6.92 / 6.77
