Ethena [ENA] has rallied 14.6% over the past 24 hours, extending the gains it made on Monday, the 6th of April. The crypto market saw a bullish boost from the short liquidations that followed President Trump’s ceasefire announcement.
Ethena plans to diversify its USDe reserve assets into non-crypto assets, which is why ENA has been rallying even before the announcement. The crypto rout since October 2025 saw declining USDe supply and yield.
The protocol’s founder, Gary Young, had said that Ethena was poorly positioned since that crash. Including non-crypto reserve assets will boost its falling yield and aid market performance.
ENA’s trend remains bearishly poised
The lower highs on the 1-day timeframe, highlighted in white, showed that Ethena continued to labor under a bearish trend. The RSI was below neutral 50, and the OBV was in a slump, too.
This showed that the trend, selling pressure, and market structure were all in favor of the sellers. Even the rally in recent days, though it was high-volume, was unable to convincingly smash past the $0.094 local highs.
This was a complication for ENA bulls. Or, in a way, some pessimistic participants would say it makes the picture clearer. The sweep of the $0.095-$0.10 local highs means that the Ethena relief rally is over.
A new leg downward can commence from these liquidity pockets.
Traders’ call to action – Sell
The past month’s liquidation heatmap showed a cluster of short liquidations from $0.094 to $0.10. This was the same band of resistance that the price has struggled to clear in the past 12 hours of trading.
The 4-hour timeframe’s structure remained bearish. The $0.095 level must be beaten for the swing structure to shift bullishly. A breakout and retest as support can inform bulls that the momentum might continue.
Until then, traders can maintain a bearish bias and look to take profits from the bounce.
Final Summary
- Ethena has racked up sizeable gains since the start of the week and was aided by the ceasefire announcement and crypto market bounce.
- The $0.095-$0.10 resistance level remained in place, and traders should be prepared to take profits in this area as the swing structure remained bearish.
