INJ chain halted again — price still holds $8 after ETF week

Injective stopped producing blocks on 9 Nov (block 191,016,662, ~13:05 UTC) — its second halt in about 10 weeks. Upbit, Bithumb and Coinone suspended INJ deposits and withdrawals; spot trading stayed open. QuickNode called it a scheduled upgrade test with validators; blocks were flowing again by 21:36 UTC. Injective itself had not commented publicly by that evening. Note the August precedent: a 3h42m halt later confirmed as an exploit hitting binary-options apps, about $4.9M bridged to Ethereum.

The other side of the week: Canary's staked INJ ETF (INJC) launched on Nasdaq 5 Nov, $16.12M net assets by 6 Nov, CEO rang the bell 6 Nov. 5th mainnet anniversary 8 Nov, $12.86B onchain volume in the past year.

Snapshot (Binance, ~08:50 PKT 10 Nov): $INJ $8.00, -2.5% 24h, range $7.82-$8.32, Binance vol $15.2M, total vol $102M, MC $800M rank 81 (CoinGecko). 9 Nov close $8.12 — above EMA20 $7.88 and SMA50 $7.84, RSI 51. 7d +10.8%, 30d +3.5%. ATH $52.62 (Mar 2024) is 85% away.

Expectations — base-rate study, not a guarantee: same setup in INJ's own 1,000 daily candles (close above EMA20 and SMA50, RSI 45-60, 7d +5% or more, symmetric 8% barriers, 7 days, N=22): UP first 68%, DOWN first 23%, neither 9%. But 7 days later higher only 45% — rallies in this setup often fade. Wider checks agree on the lean (N=51: UP 63%) but the same fade (7d higher 47%).

Plan: no chasing. Dip only if $7.82 holds and daily close back above $8.12, tiny size. Add only on daily close above $8.47 (7 Nov high). Invalidation: daily close below $7.84 (EMA20/SMA50 cluster) → $7.00. Targets on reclaim: $8.47 / $9.42 (30d high). Spot only, half size max. Confidence: Low — a second halt in 10 weeks is a real reliability flag, and the ETF is only $16M so far.
