Lido price prediction
The four-hour chart shows that the LDO price was in a strong bullish trend since June this year. Most recently, the coin formed a rising wedge pattern that is shown in black. Historically, a rising wedge is a bearish signal, which explains why it has made a bearish breakout. As a result, the coin moved below the 25-day and 50-day moving averages. It also moved below the important support at $1.9295, which was the highest level on July 17 and 19.
Therefore, the Lido price will likely continue falling as bears target the important support at $1.00, which is about 50% below the current price. A move above the resistance at $2.50 will invalidate the bearish view.
