Staking product launch draws no immediate price response despite partnerships

Lido launched its V3 upgrade on Ethereum mainnet, introducing stVaults, a new staking infrastructure that enables customizable and modular staking options for external protocols and institutions. This development aims to expand utility for partners such as Linea, Nansen, P2P.org, Chorus One, Kiln, and Everstake by allowing them to establish dedicated staking vaults on the platform. Despite the strategic significance of this product rollout for the Lido ecosystem, there was no immediate market reaction to the news.

Oversold signals deepen as price remains below key technical levels

Technically, LDO is well below its major moving averages, indicating sustained bearish pressure with no immediate support from these key levels. Closest dynamic resistance is located near the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.5695. Momentum readings are resolutely negative: both the MACD and ADX point to continued selling strength, while RSI at 30.4, Stochastic RSI at 0.0, and CCI at -116.3 all show oversold conditions without clear reversal signals. Bull/Bear Power remains negative, and the Awesome Oscillator also favors sellers; no bullish divergence is present, underscoring the day’s pronounced negative momentum.

Sideways range likely as bearish pressure persists near support

For the next five trading days, LDO is expected to fluctuate between $0.400 and $0.470, reflecting a volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of a near-term rally above $0.470 is low (less than 20%), while further downside below $0.400 becomes more likely if selling intensifies. The baseline scenario is one of sideways movement within the defined range as the market adjusts to recent declines. Although there are signs of trend exhaustion, the technical outlook remains decisively bearish in the short term.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees that Lido’s technical setup remains decisively bearish after failing to regain any major moving averages. He notes that institutional-focused developments like the V3 upgrade have not altered market sentiment or price action so far. Kharitonov stays cautious on LDO’s outlook, expecting continued sideways or lower trading unless sellers lose momentum. "Base case remains a range between $0.400 and $0.470 — until a clear reversal appears, I remain defensive on LDO."

Previously it was reported that Lido DAO (LDO) remains under substantial selling pressure, trading well below all major moving averages and testing wide-range lows, with no immediate dynamic support present and resistance around the Ichimoku Kijun. Momentum indicators including MACD, ADX, RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI are all in oversold territory, confirming strong bearish momentum and a lack of evidence for a near-term reversal.
