LDO could sweep liquidity in the Fair Value Gap (FVG) between $1.034 to $1.021. If the staking token extends its decline it could dip to the August 4 low of $0.894.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator is nearing a bearish cross, signaling that the underlying momentum in LDO price trend has turned negative.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) edges sharply lower and reads 44.91 in the daily chart. RSI marked overbought conditions of 70 on Friday and dipped under the neutral level since then.

If Lido closes above the 10-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $1.539, it could invalidate the bearish thesis. In that case, LDO could rally towards the resistance at $1.636, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the decline from the January 10 peak of $4.038 to the August 4 low of $0.894.
