Ethena is up 6% on Friday, following a 25% rally the previous day. ENA holds a bullish near-term bias as price trades well above the 50-day EMA at $0.0888, while still capped below the longer-term 200-day EMA at $0.1239. Momentum remains constructive, with the MACD maintaining a positive slope and the RSI hovering near 78, suggesting strong but overbought upside pressure.

Solana Price Forecast: ETF inflows, improving liquidity conditions lift SOL

Solana (SOL) extends its strong weekly gains, up more than 19% so far this week, and is approaching the key 200-day EMA at $89 on Friday. This bullish price action is supported by crypto markets continuing to cheer the US Treasury’s decision to double its debt buyback operations. In addition, institutional demand for SOL continues to strengthen this week. The constructive technical outlook suggests further gains if SOL breaks above the 200-day EMA resistance.
