ENA Crashes 93% From ATH: Why Retail Now Beats the $0.40 VC Entry

LiveBTCNews
ENA-1,65%
USDE-0,07%

ENA trades near $0.13 after a 93% drop from ATH, offering retail entry below the $0.40 VC price amid support tests unlock risks.

ENA has fallen sharply from its all-time high, and retail traders are now entering at levels well below earlier private investors.

The token is trading near long-term support, while market participants assess both technical conditions and project developments.

ENA Price Drops Far Below Private Sale Levels

ENA is trading about 93 percent below its all-time high after a prolonged market decline. The token was previously sold to private investors at around $0.40.

Current market prices near $0.130 place retail buyers well below that level.

Market data shows that ENA has remained inside a long-term descending channel since 2024.

The price has followed a multi-leg correction and is now testing channel support. Traders are watching this zone closely due to past demand activity.

This price level also reflects a large gap between venture capital entry and current retail access.

Analysts note that the token is trading about 67 percent below the private sale price. This shift has changed the risk profile for new market participants.

Technical Structure Shows Price at Long-Term Demand Zone

Technical charts place ENA near the lower boundary of its long-term descending channel. This area has acted as support during previous market phases.

Price action suggests continued consolidation near this level.

A key accumulation zone is identified between $0.08 and $0.06. This range aligns with historical demand and long-term support levels.

Some technical models also point to a head-and-shoulders target near $0.07.

Traders note that the broader structure remains bearish while the channel holds. However, stability above the accumulation zone is seen as important.

Sustained trading above support could allow for a relief move within the channel.

Project Developments and Risks Remain in Focus

ENA is linked to USDe, which has grown into the third-largest stablecoin by supply. Data places its circulation near $5.8 billion.

The project has also announced plans for a fee switch in early 2026.

According to project updates, the fee switch would allow stakers to receive protocol revenue.

The team is also working on its own blockchain and an institutional product called iUSDe. These developments are scheduled for future releases.

Risks remain present despite ongoing development plans. Token unlocks are scheduled through 2028, which could add selling pressure.

Market participants also compare the model to past stablecoin failures, while funding rates remain a key factor.

Public blockchain data shows that World Liberty Financial purchased about $5.15 million worth of ENA near $0.90 to $0.98.

At current prices, this position reflects a large unrealized loss. Market participants continue to monitor price behavior near support.
