The cryptocurrency market is regaining ground as Ethereum (ETH) climbs back to $4,400 from its 24-hour low of $4,221, marking a 4% jump. Alongside this recovery, several altcoins are also showing renewed upside momentum — including the DeFi token Ethena (ENA).
ENA is trading in the green today with a impressive 7% intraday jump, and more importantly, a surge in on-chain growth combined with a bullish breakout on its chart is hinting at potential further upside ahead.

Ethena continues to capture attention with its unique yield-generation model, which combines Ethereum staking rewards while hedging against short ETH funding rates. According to live data from DefiLlama , Ethena has emerged as the second-highest fee-generating protocol over the past week, pulling in an impressive $67.94 million in fees.

Can This Breakout Drive the Next Upside Move?
The technicals are aligning with the on-chain story. On the 4H chart, ENA has completed a falling wedge breakout, a pattern typically considered a bullish reversal signal. The breakout occurred at around $0.65, propelling price to its current level of $0.69.

The next key resistance levels to watch are $0.7738 and $0.91. A strong close above these levels would strengthen the bullish case and could set the stage for a broader upside run.
For now, both on-chain fundamentals and technical setups are aligning — suggesting ENA may have more room to run if momentum sustains.
