Market Overview

Lido DAO/Tether (LDOUSDT) opened at 0.5504 on 2025-12-22 at 12:00 ET, hit a high of 0.5537, a low of 0.5301, and closed at 0.5349 at 12:00 ET the next day. Total volume over 24 hours was 8.53 million LDO, with a notional turnover of $4.52 million.

Structure & Formations

Price action showed a clear breakdown from the 0.549–0.551 resistance zone, with a bearish engulfing pattern at 19:30 ET signaling further weakness.

A potential support level emerged around 0.530–0.534, where price found a temporary floor in the final hours.

Moving Averages

On the 5-minute chart, price closed below both the 20SMA and 50SMA, confirming a short-term bearish bias. Daily MAs, including the 50DMA and 200DMA, remain neutral, but the 24-hour move could test the 50DMA if bearish momentum continues.

Momentum & Volatility

MACD turned negative and RSI fell into oversold territory (near 30), suggesting a potential pause in the downtrend. However, Bollinger Bands had widened significantly, indicating elevated volatility, and price remained near the lower band, pointing to lingering bearish pressure.

Volume & Turnover

Volume spiked above average between 14:00–16:00 ET, coinciding with a sharp drop to 0.5301. Notional turnover mirrored this, reinforcing the move lower. However, a divergence emerged in the last 4 hours, with falling price and relatively lower volume, suggesting some near-term exhaustion.

Fibonacci Retracements

Fib levels drawn from the 0.5537 high to the 0.5301 low show price finding support at the 61.8% retracement (~0.535), consistent with the final 4-hour consolidation. A break below 0.530 could see a test of the 78.6% level (~0.523), with increased short-term risk.

The pair may consolidate near 0.530–0.535 in the short term, but traders should remain cautious of further downside if 0.530 is decisively breached. Volatility and sentiment remain fragile, with potential for rapid reversals if buying interest emerges.
