ENA Rally Fades as Negative Funding Rates Point to Further Losses
ENA's recent rally is at risk, as negative market signals, including a declining BoP and negative funding rates, suggest a possible drop to $0.48.
Ethena’s ENA token has shed 3% in the past 24 hours, mirroring the broader crypto market’s decline as bearish sentiment gains momentum.
The drop comes just a few days after the token posted strong gains, with traders now gearing for a potential reversal that could erase all of its recent rally.
ENA Slumps as Sellers Seize Momentum
Readings from the ENA/USD one-day chart confirm the bearish tilt in market sentiment. For example, the token’s Balance of Power (BoP) has turned negative, signaling that selling pressure outweighs buying interest. As of this writing, the metric stands at -0.38, indicating negative bias.

The BoP measures the strength of buyers versus sellers in the market, showing whether bulls or bears are in control over a given period. A negative BoP reading means selling pressure dominates, with sellers pushing prices lower despite buying attempts.
For ENA, this confirms that bears have seized momentum, increasing the likelihood of further downside.
Furthermore, ENA’s negative funding rates across derivatives markets suggest that short positions dominate, strengthening the bearish outlook. At press time, this is at -0.0157.

The funding rate is a periodic payment exchanged between traders in perpetual futures contracts to keep contract prices aligned with the spot market. When the funding rate is negative, short sellers are paying long traders, indicating that most market participants are betting on a price decline.
For ENA, the negative funding rate highlights that bearish sentiment is dominant in derivatives markets, adding weight to expectations of further losses.
$0.41 or $0.64 Could Be Next
At press time, ENA trades at $0.5637, hanging above the support floor formed at $0.4832. If demand fades further, the bulls may struggle to defend this price level, giving way to a deeper decline toward $0.4140.
