Institutional custody shift and value locked growth drive renewed inflows

Kraken Custody has been selected by the Ethena Risk Committee as the custody partner for the USDe stablecoin, following a review aimed at strengthening institutional-grade custody standards and ensuring robust risk management. The custody arrangement offers fully segregated, bankruptcy-remote cold storage for USDe's backing assets, reflecting the project's operational resilience goals. Recent metrics also show Ethena's total value locked has grown to roughly $6.49 billion, indicating rising engagement within the ecosystem.

Mixed momentum and overbought signals heighten intraday selling risk

Momentum readings are mixed: ADX signals a modest trend, while MACD remains neutral on the daily chart, indicating the absence of a strong directional impulse. RSI points to ongoing buying (61.5) but Stochastic RSI and CCI both flag overbought conditions, suggesting caution as the recent advance becomes stretched. Bull/Bear Power is positive, reflecting slight buyer dominance intraday, yet the daily move is clearly negative, with the price slipping 7.59% from the previous session and trading near the lower end of today’s range, following a minor gap lower at the open. Volatility is high and intraday tone shows persistent selling pressure after the open, even as oscillators and momentum signals diverge.

Limited upside potential as sideways trading range and bearish bias persist

For the next five trading days, ENA is expected to trade between $0.2330 and $0.2410, reflecting a tight sideways band that aligns with typical volatility relative to current levels. The probability of a price increase in the coming week is very low (less than 20%), making a further decline more likely. In the baseline scenario, price remains rangebound near current levels. A bullish scenario would require a break above the MA-50 resistance, while a close below the Ichimoku Kijun support could trigger an accelerated move lower in line with the prevailing long-term bearish bias.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Ethena (ENA) trading in a precarious spot. Technical setup shows short-term support but long-term momentum stays negative. Institutional custody via Kraken is a positive sign, yet price action is overwhelmingly cautious with downside risk. He notes a low likelihood of upside near term, saying: "Unless ENA breaks above $0.2424, I have little confidence in a sustained rally and expect further pressure toward support."

Last time, analysts noted that Ethena is trading above its short- and medium-term moving averages but remains below its long-term average, reflecting strong short- and medium-term momentum amid persistent long-term pressure. Despite continued buying strength and bullish trend signals, multiple overbought indicators and rising volatility suggest a heightened risk of short-term consolidation or pullback.
