Ethena (ENA)

cryptoticker.io reports that Ethena's ENA token trades at $0.1927 on 20 September 2026, marking a 106.93 percent gain over the past 90 days. Despite this surge, the price remains 71.4 percent below its twelve-month high of $0.6729 recorded on 20 September 2025. The token has reclaimed its 200-day and 50-day exponential moving averages, which sit closely together in the $0.13 to $0.14 support band.
However, trading 38.9 percent above its 200-day line suggests the move has been rapid and potentially stretched. The 14-day RSI stands at 61.9, indicating firm but not extreme momentum. A daily close below the $0.1387 level would signal that the downtrend is not yet broken.
ENA recently processed $1.05 billion in volume against a market capitalization of $1.95 billion. This high turnover reflects active short-term positioning rather than long-term accumulation. The protocol generates yield through synthetic dollar USDe, linking token value to funding rates and staking income. With 10.1 billion tokens in circulation and significant future unlocks, dilution remains a structural headwind.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ENA, measured when this story was written up on 20 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows ENA trading at $0.2043 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 50.8 percent. This buying balance is slightly higher than the 49.6 percent seen in the last hour and the 44.0 percent over four hours. Volume delta turned positive at $1,557,740 over 24 hours, contrasting with negative deltas in the shorter one-hour and four-hour windows. The cumulative volume delta closed at -$793,926, indicating that despite recent buying, net flow has been negative over the full day. Net buying occurred in only 11 of the 24 hours, suggesting inconsistent support. The buy ratio measures the proportion of buy volume relative to total volume, while volume delta tracks the net value of aggressive buying versus selling.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.0% sits at the 67th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 49.0% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ENA, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, ENA saw a 43.5 percent price increase with volume reaching 3.24 times the seven-day average. The seven-day average buy ratio was 48.7 percent, meaning today's 50.8 percent reading is 2.1 points above the norm. Despite the volume surge, there was only one day of net buying in the past week. The eight-day volume delta total was -$3,790,020, showing that recent gains have not translated to sustained net inflows. This indicates an unusual day for volume but a continuation of the broader weekly outflow trend.
