Ethena (ENA) Price Analysis

With an intraday gain of 6.55%, the ENA token is currently trading at $0.3817. Creating a second consecutive bullish engulfing candle, the ENA price action reveals a short-term rounding bottom reversal.

Furthermore, the ENA price action also reveals an inverted head-and-shoulder pattern, with a neckline coinciding with the overhead resistance level. Hence, the bullish breakout of this inverted head-and-shoulder pattern will result in a trend reversal rally for Ethena Labs. 

Ethena Proposes SOL as New USDe Backing Asset

The massive surge in the ENA token comes with the recent proposal over the Ethena Network recommending Solana’s SOL token as a backing asset for the USDe. 

This will utilize a similar hedging mechanism that Ethena already uses for Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual futures. Considering Solana’s shorter trading history and lower liquidity, the allocation will be gradually introduced. 

Further, the speculations reveal a $2 billion open interest in Solana. The 2024 funding rates reveal a favorable condition with an opportunity to increase Ethena’s alignment with the Solana ecosystem and its network revenue. 

The proposal suggests a $100 million to $200 million SOL open interest, representing 5-10% of the Solana market. Furthermore, the addition of Binance and Bybit Liquid Stakes SOL, BNSOL, and bbSOL, respectively, is also recommended to ensure that the overall SOL allocation does not exceed one-third of its volume. 

The proposal is subject to a unanimous vote on the Ethena Network, which the Risk Committee will conduct within the next seven days.

MACD Indicator: The bullish continuation in the MACD and signal lines leads to a positive crossover.
