Founder’s buyback fuels volatility as sentiment turns cautious

Ethena's founder executed a $25 million open-market buyback of ENA tokens in October 2025, highlighting strong internal confidence and likely influencing short-term volatility. Alongside this, traders are monitoring important support and resistance levels, as algorithmic models predict a possible drop in price in the coming days. Despite a broader recovery in the crypto market, overall sentiment remains cautious, as indicated by the current fear and greed index.

Bullish price gap amid mixed momentum and overbought signals

Key support for ENA is established at the Kijun level of $0.394, while resistance aligns with the MA-50 at $0.577. Momentum indicators are mixed — the daily MACD continues to flash a strong sell signal, though the ADX denotes robust upward momentum. RSI sits at 57 in buy territory, and Stochastic RSI is overbought above 96; CCI flags potential overheating, and Bull/Bear Power remains neutral. A bullish gap between yesterday's close ($0.4625) and today's open ($0.5099), with the current price near the daily high ($0.5334), points to heightened volatility and strong intraday momentum, despite oscillators signaling caution.

Balanced risk outlook as technical signals prompt sideways bias

Over the coming week, the anticipated trading range is $0.5079–$0.5332 with an average near $0.5206. The probability of an upward or downward move is balanced at 50%, given buy signals on the weekly MACD and ADX but conflicting sell signals from the MA-50 and RSI. Sideways movement is the baseline scenario, with a sustained breakout above $0.577 opening a bullish path, while a break below $0.5079 support could accelerate declines.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that while ENA’s technical structure hints at bullish potential in the short and long term, conflicting momentum signals and a cautious market sentiment keep upside prospects in check. He underscores that the sizable $25 million buyback reflects internal confidence but has yet to dispel the mixed signals from key indicators such as the daily MACD and Stochastic RSI. Kharitonov believes ENA’s sideways trading is likely in the near term, with breakout scenarios strongly dependent on how price reacts to the $0.5079 support and $0.577 resistance. "Base case remains rangebound — I stay neutral unless we see a decisive move beyond $0.577 or below $0.5079."
