• Ethena price is trading near $0.21, up sharply from the $0.10–$0.11 July–August base, now testing a major resistance zone of $0.30.

• Around 1.33 billion ENA, or just under 9% of supply, remains in investor wallets and distribution contracts ahead of the October 5 unlock.

• ENA has broken above a major descending structure on the daily chart, putting the $0.30–$0.31 supply zone in focus if bulls reclaim $0.23.

Ethena price is back near a major breakout zone as ENA’s sharp September rally collides with the project’s final large investor unlock. ENA has climbed from the $0.10–$0.11 region to around $0.21, breaking through a long-term descending structure. But the rally now faces a major test: roughly 1.33 billion ENA remains tied to investor wallets and distribution contracts ahead of the October 5 release.

Ethena Clears Investor Overhang Ahead of October 5

The latest supply data shows investors sent about 1.06 billion ENA to trading venues over the past year, representing roughly 80% of the tokens distributed to investors during that period. The top three venture investors hold approximately 560 million ENA, or around 42% of the investor allocation. Their historical selling activity has remained limited, reducing the amount of immediately identifiable supply pressure from those wallets.

Ethena also bought locked ENA from certain early investors who had already sold tokens, while future monthly investor unlocks were discontinued. Team allocations remain locked under their existing schedules.

Ethena Price Analysis: Can ENA Reach $0.30?

ENA is trading around $0.21 after a powerful September recovery. The daily chart shows price breaking above the long-term descending trendline and reclaiming the $0.22–$0.23 resistance region with a notable increase in volume. A confirmed breakout above $0.23 would open the path toward the next major supply zone at $0.30–$0.31. This area previously acted as heavy overhead supply and represents the next major hurdle for the recovery.

On the downside, the $0.18–$0.20 zone is the first area bulls need to defend. A deeper breakdown would put the recent breakout structure under pressure and expose the lower consolidation range.

Outlook

ENA’s rally now faces a direct test between technical momentum and incoming supply. The end of recurring investor unlocks improves the longer-term supply profile, while the proposed fee switch creates a future revenue-linked demand mechanism. But October 5 remains the immediate catalyst. If ENA absorbs the unlock without losing its breakout structure, the path toward the $0.30 supply zone becomes increasingly relevant.
