During the dip, the 24-hour trading volume for Ethena surged by 79.50% to $174.19 million while the market capitalization of ENA witnessed a decline of 7.70% to $1.13 billion.

ENA/USD Technical Analysis

The Bollinger Bands on the ENA charts show significant insights into price volatility and potential future movements. The upper Bollinger Band, currently at $0.8804, and the middle band, at $0.8147, suggest that these levels could serve as resistance points if a price rebound occurs. 

Conversely, the lower Bollinger Band, at $0.7489, has acted as a support level. If this support breaks, it could lead to further downward trends, possibly reaching the next psychological support level at $0.7000.

Moreover, the ‘Rekt’ data, which tracks losses due to liquidated positions, shows substantial losses, primarily on the long side, totaling $733.83K in the last 24 hours. This indicates that the swift downturn caught many traders expecting a price increase.

Concurrently, ENA’s derivatives trading volume increased 79.50% to $174.19 million. Despite this surge, open interest fell 5.68% to $149.17 million. This decline in open interest, alongside increased trading volume, suggests that traders might be closing positions rather than opening new ones, which could indicate a lack of confidence in the immediate upward potential of ENA’s price trend.
