Injective moved higher on October 16, with one report putting the token above $9 and another describing a larger intraday jump. One item also pointed to a potential test of $9.60, while another said long-term investors would be watching a much higher level before treating the move as a durable shift. A separate report framed the move alongside ETF approval expectations and compared INJ’s performance with NEAR and Sei.
