Key Takeaways

  • Ethena (ENA) has closed above long-term resistance.
  • The ENA price trades only 20% below its all-time high.
  • Can ENA maintain its momentum and break the high?

The ENA price fell nearly 90% after reaching an all-time high in April. The decline led to a low of $0.18 in September before the trend finally reversed. The price has increased quickly since, accelerating its trend in November.

The increase is aided by Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial purchasing ENA. The wallet buys Decentralized Finance (DeFi) cryptocurrencies such as AAVE, ENA, and ONDO.

Considering that, let’s analyze the Ethena price action and see if ENA can reach a new all-time high soon.

ENA Breaks Resistance

The 3-day ENA chart shows that the price has increased rapidly since the start of November. In December, ENA reached the $1 horizontal resistance area but was rejected twice (black icons), creating long upper wicks.

This is the chart’s most important resistance since it is both the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level and a horizontal resistance area. Additionally, it is the final resistance area before the all-time high of $1.52 reached in April.

ENA finally broke out this week, creating a large bullish candlestick and reaching a high of $1.33, the highest price in 246 days. ENA now trades only 20% below the all-time high. If it breaks out, the 1.61 external Fibonacci retracement of the decline since the high would create the next target at $2.34.

Technical indicators support the upward movement. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) are increasing and above their bullish thresholds at 50 and 0, respectively.

Furthermore, neither has generated any bearish divergence.

As a result, the 3-day chart implies that Ethena will reach its all-time high and possibly break out.

New ENA All-Time High?

The daily time frame wave count suggests ENA will continue increasing to its all-time high. According to the count, ENA is in the fifth and final wave of an upward movement. Wave three extended, and wave four became a symmetrical triangle, from which ENA broke out yesterday. The sub-wave count is in black.

If wave five has 0.618 times the length of waves one and three combined, ENA will reach a high of $1.35. An extension could take ENA to a high of $1.89.

The MACD has not generated any bearish divergence, and the RSI has not confirmed its own, meaning the upward movement may continue.

So, the wave count does not confirm if ENA will reach the long-term target of $2.66 before a retracement. However, a new ENA all-time high is likely.

Another High Awaits

The ENA price action and wave count are bullish. Ethena news is also positive since Trump’s purchases have brought attention to it.

NA will likely reach a new all-time high, possibly increasing as high as $1.89 or $2.66.
