ENA gained nearly 14% while traders tracked resistance near $0.104.
Ethena and FalconX launched a $1 billion secured USDe credit facility.
A weekly close above $0.1402 could confirm a broader trend shift.
Ethena price climbed to about $0.094 on August 20, extending its rebound from ascending channel support. ENA gained nearly 14% over 24 hours, according to Bybit market data. Analyst Ali Martinez tracked an 18% recovery from the lower boundary. He now sees $0.104 as the next channel target. The move also follows Ethena’s new $1 billion secured credit facility with FalconX.
Ethena Price Gains Support From $1B FalconX Credit Facility
Ethena and FalconX launched a $1 billion warehouse facility for assets backing USDe. The structure will direct capital into overcollateralized loans for institutional borrowers. FalconX will originate and service loans while managing collateral through the facility.
FalconX has partnered with @ethena on a $1 billion secured lending facility, deploying capital from the assets backing USDe into overcollateralized institutional credit.
The facility bridges Ethena’s crypto-native liquidity with FalconX’s institutional borrowing demand and marks…

Qualified third-party custodians will hold the pledged assets. Ethena will retain a first-priority security interest over collateral inside the arrangement. The deal gives USDe another potential return source beyond perpetual-futures funding and basis strategies.
The facility can support institutional trading, treasury management, and payment activity. FalconX described it as a bridge between crypto-native liquidity and institutional borrowing demand.
For Ethena price, the partnership adds a fundamental catalyst while traders watch demand around the new credit channel. USDe adoption and lending activity could influence sentiment around ENA. Token unlocks remain a separate supply risk for the market.
Ethena Price Targets $0.104 as Channel Support Holds
Ali Martinez said ENA has risen 18% since rebounding from ascending channel support. His next technical level sits near $0.104, marking the upper channel boundary.
Ethena $ENA is already up 18% from channel support.
The lower boundary held exactly as anticipated.
Now, $0.104 at the top of the channel is my next target. https://t.co/Xc93dXY9Kz pic.twitter.com/4gVRYbQxNt

Crypto Patel points to 0.077-0.056 as the broader accumulation zone. He identifies a weekly close above $0.1402 as stronger higher-timeframe confirmation. Until then, he views the structure as accumulation rather than a confirmed bull market.
That leaves Ethena price between nearby channel resistance and a larger confirmation level. A move through $0.104 could keep attention on $0.1402. Failure to hold broader support would weaken that setup.
ENA also trades roughly 94% below its April 2024 record high near $1.52. Ethena price therefore still faces substantial overhead resistance despite the recent rebound.
