What has moved the market
Wave of deleveraging and liquidations in cryptocurrencies, with a particularly strong impact on altcoins and ENA. View source
Downward pressure in the crypto market associated with a higher-than-expected US inflation reading, with a direct impact on BTC and a drag on the rest of the market (Yahoo Finance, 2026-10-14).
Increased long liquidations in ETH and ENA, which accompanied the intraday declines of both assets (TokenPost, 2026-10-14).
Athena (ENA) falls 6,68%
Ethena drops from €0,19 to €0,18 in 24 hours.
- On October 14, ENA experienced an intraday drop attributed to liquidations of long positions on Binance, Bybit, and OKX totaling approximately $2,16 million; the news report indicated that these liquidations caused a drop of around 4,66% in one hour and left ENA nearly 5% down in 24 hours.
- Another report published on October 13 linked ENA's weakness to a general wave of deleveraging and liquidations in the crypto market, noting that the token fell more sharply than other assets during that episode.
- ENA fell sharply in parallel with long liquidations; the TokenPost news attributes the move to a cascade of liquidations and quantifies the intraday selling pressure.

Ethereum (ETH) falls 2,67%
Ethereum drops from €2.240 to €2.180 in 24 hours.
- ETH came under pressure from three bearish signals cited in the news: increased reserves on exchanges, exit of large holders and weakening demand via Coinbase premium and ETFs, which were linked to the fall of the asset.
