Ethena token (ENA), which experienced a meteoric rise in late-2024, is now navigating a challenging phase with a significant downtrend. Currently trading at $0.81, ENA has faced a series of losses, including a notable dip below its critical support level of $0.86. Over the past 24 hours, the token has shown no significant price movement, reflecting a market in a state of indecision.
ENA briefly recovered to $0.83 on January 14, after plummeting to $0.7255 earlier in the week. However, the token’s seven-day performance has been underwhelming, shedding 17% of its value. In the last month, ENA has dropped 35%, with analysts pointing to a broader market downturn and major whale sell-offs as key drivers of this slump. A significant sell-off on December 26, 2024, saw whale traders liquidating 3.36 million ENA tokens, worth $3.17 million, causing a sharp 10% price drop.
While 2025 started on a positive note with ENA reaching $1.27, the rally was short-lived, and the token has since retraced. Analysts, including Ali Martinez, suggest that the token’s failure to reclaim $0.86 as support could signal further downside, with potential targets at $0.69 or $0.57.

Adding to the complexity of ENA’s price action, Bollinger Bands indicate heightened volatility, with a wide gap between the upper and lower bands. ENA is currently trading below its 20-day simple moving average (SMA), signaling a bearish sentiment. However, if the token manages to hold its ground near current levels, a potential upward trend may emerge in the coming days.
In a recent development, a whale withdrew 1.96 million ENA tokens, valued at $1.63 million, from Binance on January 15, suggesting a long-term bullish outlook despite the short-term volatility.
ENA’s market cap has taken a significant hit, dropping from $3.8 billion on January 4 to $2.47 billion. The decline in market cap, coupled with a 27% drop in 24-hour trading volume, reflects the current uncertainty surrounding the token. However, the ongoing whale activity and potential stabilization offer hope for ENA’s recovery.
