Ethena (ENA) is trading at $0.0958, down 14.71% on the day and holding below its short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, indicating ongoing bearish momentum.
Highlights
- Coinbase Ventures made its first open-market ENA token purchase and announced a partnership with Ethena for onchain digital savings offerings.
- Ethena expanded its institutional lending collaboration with Anchorage Digital to strengthen infrastructure for yield-based crypto products despite persistent selling pressure.
- ENA/USD trades below key moving averages amid strong bearish momentum, with price expected to consolidate between $0.09 and $0.12 barring a technical breakout.
Partnership announcements fail to offset lasting sell pressure
Coinbase Ventures made its first investment in Ethena by purchasing ENA tokens directly on the open market, coinciding with a new partnership between Coinbase and Ethena to launch onchain finance and digital savings products for Coinbase users. The first product initiative is scheduled for release next week as part of this collaboration. Additionally, Ethena expanded its institutional lending partnership with Anchorage Digital to further develop its infrastructure for yield-generating products, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.
Bearish momentum persists as technical signals remain mixed
ENA/USD remains below the MA-20 ($0.0991), MA-50 ($0.1075), and well under the MA-200 ($0.1534), which confirms ongoing bearish pressure across short-, medium-, and long-term trends. The nearest dynamic resistance is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.1108.
Momentum indicators point to further weakness. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) gives a strong sell signal on both daily and weekly timeframes, and the Average Directional Index (ADX) remains weak, indicating that downward momentum lacks strong conviction. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on daily suggests some underlying buying interest but on weekly signals selling pressure. The Stochastic RSI reads overbought at 100, while the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) on daily sits in moderate buy territory. The Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is positive at 0.0210, showing buyers have a slight upper hand intraday. However, daily price action tells a different story: the pair opened with a small downside gap and quickly dropped, down 14.71% at $0.0958, positioning close to the session lows. Intraday volatility is high at 23.09%. This combination signals heavy selling pressure after the open with conflicting momentum and oscillator readings.
Previously it was reported that despite rising institutional interest and new partnerships Ethena faced persistent bearish momentum and heightened volatility. The latest data reinforce this downside bias, suggesting traders should watch for a decisive break below the $0.09 level as a trigger for further losses.
