Lido DAO most ‘overbought’ given that April as LDO rate rallies 150% in 2 weeks– what’s next?
The rate of Lido DAO (LDO) dropped greatly a day after its crucial momentum oscillator crossed into “overbought” area.
LDO goes through overbought correction
LDO’s rate plunged to as low as $1.04 on July 16 from $1.32 on July 15, totaling up to a 20%- plus decrease. The token’s sharp disadvantage relocation took its hints from numerous bearish technical indications, including its everyday relative strength index (RSI) and its 100-day rapid moving average (EMA).
LDO’s newest plunge followed it rallied over 150% in simply 2 weeks, a relocation that concurrently pressed its everyday RSI above 70 on July 15, hence turning it overbought.
An overbought RSI signals that the rally might be nearing an end while preparing for a short-term pullback.

That raises LDO’s possible to duplicate the April-June 2022 correction, albeit without any precise bottom in sight. That stated, the token’s interim disadvantage target appears near its 50-day EMA (the red wave) at $0.90, down another 20% from today’s rate.
On the other hand, a break listed below the 50-day EMA would run the risk of crashing LDO to around $0.75, which accompanies the 0.618 Fib line of the Fibonacci retracement chart drawn from $0.39-swing low to $1.31-swing high.
Ethereum 2.0 anticipated in September
On July 15, Ethereum designers verified that their network’s much-awaited shift to proof-of-stake from proof-of-work, called “the Merge” or “Ethereum 2.0,” would tentatively happen on September 19.
LDO rose almost 25% on the day of the statement due to its close ties to Ethereum.
In specific, LDO acts as a governance token at Lido, a liquid staking platform that has actually locked over 4.13 million ETH (worth around $5 billion) into Merge’s main clever agreement on behalf of its users.
Post Ethereum’s statement, the variety of Ether transferred into the Merge clever agreements by means of Lido increased.
With Lido presently the greatest company by overall worth staked, an effective Merge launch might bring more users to Lido, which, in turn, might increase need for LDO tokens.
For that reason, a technical correction in LDO’s rate might follow up with a rebound towards the 100-day EMA if the Ethereum’s strategies to end up being a proof-of-stake chain comes punctually.
