Volatility expected as token unlock and investor backing shift sentiment

Ethena is approaching a major token unlock scheduled for September 30, 2025, in which 212.5 million ENA tokens will be released to the market. This planned event is driving anticipation around possible market volatility and influencing sentiment. MEXC Ventures recently increased its commitment to Ethena, raising its total investment to $30 million as part of continued support for the ecosystem.

Bearish momentum contrasts with oversold signals and intraday rebound

The ENA price at $0.5836 is trading below both the MA-20 at $0.6448 and MA-50 at $0.6771. This signals ongoing short- and medium-term pressure from sellers, while the price stays well above the MA-200 at $0.4492, indicating long-term support. According to Ichimoku levels, immediate resistance lies at $0.6771 (MA-50) and support sits near $0.7033 (Kijun), with no mention of a death or golden cross. Momentum signals remain mixed, with daily MACD showing a negative value and a “Sell” indication, while daily ADX is at 28.63 and signals “Buy,” pointing to strengthening trend forces. RSI at 21.45 and Stoch RSI at 7.96 both highlight deeply oversold conditions, and CCI also points lower at -90.06, suggesting potential for a technical rebound. BBP’s negative reading reflects seller dominance in intraday activity. Daily price action shows a strong move up by 7.22% to $0.5836, opening with a small gap higher from yesterday’s close at $0.5443. The current price sits near the upper end of today’s range ($0.5563 — $0.5722). Broad intraday volatility is high, and there is notable strength toward session highs. Despite minor divergences between momentum and oscillator signals, the intraday rally is confirmed by the rebound tone after the open.

Sideways consolidation likely amid bullish probabilities and defined risks

For the next five trading days, the expected price range is $0.5690 to $0.6334. Probability of a price increase stands at 75%, while the probability of a decrease is less likely. The baseline scenario is that ENA consolidates sideways between support and resistance. In a bullish scenario, a close above $0.6771 could open the way for a move toward $0.6334 and higher, while a drop below $0.5690 may trigger further downside toward long-term support at $0.4492.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, leading analyst at Traders Union, notes that ENA’s price action displays healthy long-term support, bolstered by MEXC Ventures’ increased investment and elevated investor sentiment ahead of next year’s major token unlock. He believes that the current oversold technical measures, in combination with strong fundamental backing, tilt the short-term outlook in favor of consolidation with moderate upside prospects. The analyst sees a constructive scenario for ENA, provided that key supports hold and risk appetite in the broader crypto market remains resilient. "Given robust institutional interest and positive momentum signals, I expect ENA to stay strong above $0.5690, with buyers likely to push toward resistance levels in the coming sessions."

Previously it was noted that YZi Labs — the former venture division of Binance — announced an expansion of its position in Ethena Labs due to the rapid growth of its synthetic stablecoin, USDe. The expansion aimed at key strategic priorities such as deepening USDe integration across centralized and decentralized exchanges and supporting the rollout of flagship products like USDtb and Converge.
