Ethena (ENA) has caught market attention after a brief decline following a recent rally, which has demonstrated the coin’s strength in the cryptocurrency market. Analysts believe that these are natural short-term trends and can be taken as strategic trading opportunities.
At the time of writing, ENA is trading at $0.1389, with a 24-hour trading volume of $342.18 million and a market capitalization of $1.15 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. The token’s 10% decline marks a short-term correction after previous gains, signaling a pause in momentum for market watchers.
Crypto analyst CryptoPulse explained that the recent pullback was primarily in line with a setup that was identified in the past. “Two days ago, we identified a bearish pattern for ENA.
The recent rise was a correction in our view, as it formed a bearish flag. A short position targeting $0.16 would have been profitable for investors, as it would have given a 10% return.
To add more context to this, analyst zmanian also took a look at the mechanics that caused the volatility in the price of ENA. He noted that there were many short positions taken with the aim of avoiding the automatic deleveraging. The analyst also explained that this caused the price to move more sharply in the correction.
As zmanian pointed out, the project has about $9 billion in cash reserves. “These reserves would have been sufficient to stabilize Binance if the exchange integrated Ethena’s redemption window,” he said.

This decline, however, has not deterred investors from paying attention to ENA. Analysts have indicated that due to various factors such as short positions, hedging, and large cash positions, ENA is an asset worth paying attention to in the coming days. The current decline could present an opportunity for investors to purchase shares.
As the cryptocurrency market is still unpredictable, it is important to see how ENA performs in the coming trading sessions to understand if it can continue its upward movement or not.
