Lido begins its recovery ahead of Version Two rollout on Ethereum

Lido DAO’s token LDO started its recovery over the past week. LDO price climbed 3.2% over the past week, and the token is exchanging hands at $1.92, based on data from CoinGecko. 

If Lido’s vote passes, Lido’s Version Two will be implemented on the Ethereum mainnet. Lido has invited users to cast their votes in a recent tweet:

The proposal currently has 5.94% positive votes, and 0% of users are against the same.

The platform has $12.14 billion locked in its protocol, in Total Value Locked (TVL) based on data from DeFi Llama. The chart below shows a consistent spike in the TVL of Lido and the massive recovery since the FTX exchange collapse.

The Version Two rollout is key for Lido as it marks an upgrade since the protocol’s launch in December 2020. Moreover, users can claim their staked Ether in exchange for stETH post-May 15, marking a shift in the crypto landscape. 

Where is LDO headed next?

LDO is currently in a downtrend that started in March 2023, and the asset’s price is below the three Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), 10, 50 and 200-day EMAs. The immediate resistance for LDO is at $2.018 and $2.132, two of three long-term EMAs. 

Other key support and resistance levels in the long time frame from November 2022 are $2.289, $3.252 and $1.887.

A decline below the support at $1.887 could invalidate the bullish thesis, and the asset could nosedive to support at the Fibonacci level at $0.480.
