Moreover, on-chain data supports an understanding of what the current market dynamics around Ethena look like. Ethena crypto has a total supply of 15 billion, which is locked up and is around 2.84 billion circulating.

Both the current volume to market cap ratio and the level of ENA as a contract. It is actively traded with sizable trading volumes. This indicates that ENA is not just a brand new coin, but is currently also ascending in the crypto market.

Further evidencing this is the Total Value Locked (TVL) in the project. It is currently standing at $4.09 billion, making this token more stable and with greater growth potential.

An in-depth analysis of Ethena’s chart shows that it bears a general pattern. That is commonly reported as being a ‘Rising Wedge’ which happens to be a bearish pattern in technical analysis. The pattern exhibits higher highs and higher lows, and the lines converge.

Will ENA Correct any Time Soon?

According to the uptrend, the impact of the price phenomenon is decreasing. And a breakout downward can occur if the price breaks through the lower support trendline.

Inside the wedge, a candlestick pattern appears showing a high volatility with many green (bullish) and red (bearish) candles. Rejection occurred at higher prices (long upper shadow) within the most recent candles coming in at the upper boundary of the wedge, potentially setting up selling pressure.

Looking at the rising wedge we can use the current support level along the lower trendline to identify the point where the last candle closed and it seems to be around $0.7054. This means that it’s at the current support level. The upper resistance matches the upper trend line of the wedge.

However, we also notice the Relative Strength Index (RSI) plotted under the price chart and currently at 61.31, which is above the overbought region but below 70, the range which is considered overbought.

Future Outlook

This is a good sign that there is still a little bit of upward acceleration left but close to overbought territory. A break below the lower trendline of the wedge on increasing volume is a signal for a possible reversal of the current uptrend, and the beginning of a new downtrend.

If the price gapped up, then had this bounce off the lower trendline and break above the upper trendline with heavy volume, it invalidates the bearish pattern and can then extend the uptrend.
