The cryptocurrency market is off to a promising start this week, riding the momentum of what many are calling the “Uptober” rally. Bitcoin (BTC) surged near the $64K mark, posting a 1.83% gain today, which has sparked fresh interest across the broader altcoin and memecoin space. One of the standout performers is Ethena (ENA), which has climbed over 18% today, adding to its 38% rise over the past seven days.
What’s Driving ENA’s Bullish Momentum?
ENA’s rally follows a key proposal from the Ethena community suggesting the inclusion of Solana’s SOL token as a backing asset for USDe—Ethena’s stablecoin. This proposal outlines the use of a hedging strategy similar to those already deployed with Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetual futures.
However, given Solana’s shorter trading history and lower liquidity, the allocation will be introduced in phases, ensuring market stability. The news has injected bullish sentiment into ENA, with investors optimistic about the network’s future growth.
Can ENA Break Out and Gain 100%?
Crypto analyst @ZaykChart took to X (formerly Twitter) today to share his outlook on Ethena (ENA). He highlighted that ENA has formed a Descending Broadening Wedge pattern on the 1D timeframe—a pattern often associated with bullish breakouts.
“If this breakout happens, we could see a 100-120% rally,” Zayk noted in his post. Currently, ENA is trading at $0.40, hovering just under a key resistance trendline. Should it break through, Zayk’s target price of $0.80 could become a reality, representing an impressive 119% gain from current levels.
What’s Next for ENA?
With the momentum building, all eyes are on ENA’s next move. A confirmed breakout could push the token into uncharted territory, rewarding bullish traders with hefty returns. However, volatility remains a factor, as always, with rapid price swings being common in crypto markets.
