Ethena team steps in with $12 mln buy – But ENA keeps sliding
After initially climbing from $0.19, ENA faced rejection at $0.26 and declined for two consecutive days, dropping to $0.22 before a slight rebound. At the time of writing, ENA was trading at $0.23, down 7.27%, indicating strong downward pressure. In response, the Ethena team intervened by purchasing 50 million ENA tokens worth $12.18 million within 24 hours, increasing their total holdings to 789.8 million ENA. Other major holders also increased their accumulations, with a net positive balance change of 88.36 million ENA.
Despite these efforts, ENA continued to decline due to aggressive retail selling. On January 8th, sell volume significantly exceeded buy volume, resulting in a negative Buy Sell Delta of -6.85 million. ENA fell below the EMA50, and its Stochastic Momentum Index indicated strengthening bearish momentum. Current conditions suggest further losses toward the $0.20 support level. A reversal would require holding above $0.23 and reclaiming the EMA50 at $0.25 to potentially target $0.30.
