Ethena's native token ENA is drawing bullish interest after breaking past a key resistance and entering a retest phase that traders hope will confirm renewed buying strength. Currently trading at $0.08520 with a 24-hour volume exceeding $68 million and a market cap nearing $815 million, the token's recent dip of just over 1% hasn't shaken confidence in a potential upward move.

Crypto analyst Daan Crypto Trades noted that if buyers manage to hold the breakout zone and establish a higher low, ENA could rally toward the $0.135 mark. This would signal a strong continuation of momentum following the breakout, but the broader crypto market will play a significant role especially Bitcoin and Ethereum’s performance. Positive trends among top cryptocurrencies often boost altcoin sentiment, which might help ENA sustain its breakout attempt.

Meanwhile, Ethena’s ecosystem data reveals a substantial increase in ENA holdings on Base over the past month, now surpassing $250 million. This surge reflects growing trust in Ethena’s synthetic dollar products and highlights Base’s emergence as a key DeFi platform. The expanding liquidity could invite more integrations and improve yield-generating opportunities for users engaged in decentralized finance.

Whether ENA maintains its upward trajectory depends on the success of this retest phase. If buyers defend the breakout level, the token could see significant gains, driven in part by ongoing growth in Base assets. Such momentum would enhance demand for Ethena’s offerings and solidify its foothold in the competitive DeFi space.
