Ethena rebounds from December lows – Can ENA hold above $0.24?

ambcryptoPublished on 2026-01-06Last updated on 2026-01-06

Abstract

Ethena (ENA) has rebounded from its December lows, with its price breaking past the $0.218 resistance and flipping the $0.238 level into support. This upward movement is supported by increased buying pressure and a nearing bullish MACD crossover on the daily chart. The recent launch of Ethena's whitelabel stablecoin, JupUSD, on the Solana network, along with positive market sentiment, has contributed to the price increase. Key support lies in the $0.23–$0.25 zone. If bulls defend $0.24, further gains toward $0.266–$0.28 are possible. However, a drop below $0.234 could lead to a retest of $0.22–$0.225. Traders are watching for potential buying opportunities near support levels, while a liquidity hunt toward $0.261 may occur before any dip.

Ethena announced the launch of the JupUSD on the Solana network. It was the latest Ethena Whitelabel stablecoin to go live.

The launch of the stablecoin leverages the Ethena infrastructure to allow Jupiter [JUP], the Solana-based decentralized exchange, to act as the issuer.

In addition to the above, bullish wider market sentiment also helped boost ENA prices in recent days.

Ethena bulls reclaim a key level as support

The 1-day chart showed Ethena [ENA] bulls were beginning to regain control.

Though the longer-term trend was bearish, there were hopeful signs. The second half of December saw ENA prices coil under the $0.218 local resistance.

A breakout beyond this level greeted the birth of the new year, and ENA has flipped the $0.238 level to support as well.

The OBV was climbing in recent days to show increased buying pressure, but was still below the highs from December. The MACD was about to make a bullish crossover above the zero line to signal a momentum shift on the daily timeframe.

Assessing the bearish scenario for ENA

This was the less likely outcome.

Because the $0.23-$0.25 region has been an important support zone since June 2025. This area was retested in November and defended before prices plunged below it once again.

If Ethena bulls can defend this support level over the next week or two, traders’ bias can remain bullish.

In other news, AMBCrypto reported investors were exiting USDe, which suffered a greater hit from outflows than other stablecoins.

Traders’ call to action – Price action can get interesting

The hourly chart showed that $0.24 was a short-term demand zone and a retest would present a buying opportunity.

A price drop below $0.23 would invalidate the setup. Bulls would be targeting the $0.266-$0.280 area to take profits, as well as the $0.30 and $0.36 higher timeframe resistances.

The Liquidation Map showed that there was a chance that ENA might not dip toward $0.24 right away. The Cumulative Short Liquidation leverage overhead was higher than the long liquidations.

This meant that a liquidity hunt to $0.261 was possible. This might be followed by a price dip to $0.23-$0.24 that could give a buying opportunity.


Final Thoughts

  • The Ethena momentum is bullish, and more gains are likely, especially if the $0.24 demand zone can be defended in the coming days.
  • A drop below the $0.234 level would signal short-term bearish strength and a potential retracement toward $0.220-$0.225.

Thanks to Dice Rolls, Bitcoin Keys Are Stored Offline, But Not Everyone Will Do It

The article discusses using dice rolls to generate secure Bitcoin wallet seeds, providing entropy independent of potentially flawed hardware random number generators. It explains that each fair dice roll offers about 2.585 bits of entropy, with around 50 rolls needed for a standard 12-word seed phrase and 99+ recommended for higher security. This method gained attention after a vulnerability was revealed in some Coldcard hardware wallets, where a faulty firmware RNG (dating back to 2021) compromised generated keys. The analysis notes that while a dice-generated main seed was safe from this specific flaw, other Coldcard functions (like creating paper wallets, backup keys, or passwords) could still be vulnerable if they used the defective RNG. The piece argues that while dice-based entropy is technically robust, the manual process is error-prone, tedious, and unrealistic for most new users, who might make mistakes in recording or inputting rolls. It concludes that while manual entropy generation should remain an option for advanced users, the long-term goal is to develop reliable, user-friendly hardware and software that securely generates randomness without requiring specialized knowledge. Coldcard users are advised to check their firmware version and replace any secondary secrets (like paper wallet keys) created with vulnerable devices, while also considering multi-signature setups with devices from different manufacturers for added security.
