Athena Protocol’s TVL Soars 20%, Signaling Renewed User Confidence

BINANCE:ENAUSDT Chart
Athena| Tradingview

Amid the broader market recovery, the Athena coin entered a new recovery phase around mid-May as its price rebounded from $0.653. The positive turnaround uplifted the altcoin to 43.5% to currently trade at $0.937, while its market cap boasted $1.42 Billion.

An analysis of the daily chart shows this recovery breached the resistance trendline of a falling wedge pattern, escaping a six-week correction. 

According to a recent tweet from the crypto analytics firm IntoTheBlock, the Total Value Locked (TVL) in the Ethena protocol has seen a significant increase, going parabolic once again. After experiencing a slow month, Ethena’s TVL has surged to $2.75 billion, marking an impressive rise of nearly 20% over the past two weeks.

This growth in TVL indicates a renewed interest and confidence in the Ethena protocol, suggesting that more users are locking their assets within the platform. The spike in TVL is a positive indicator of the platform’s health and popularity, reflecting increased user engagement and potential for further growth.

If the aforementioned bullish pattern holds true, the current recovery in ENA price could rise to $1.18, followed by $1.52.
