Highlights

Lido Finance's Staking Router V3 upgrade introduces enhanced efficiency and scalability for its Ethereum liquid staking protocol.
The upgrade increases operational flexibility for node operators and lays groundwork for broader, more diverse staking participation.
LDO continues to face strong bearish momentum, trading near $0.2592 with technical signals pointing to a likely downside toward $0.2452–$0.2757 in the short term.

Protocol upgrade aims to boost growth as selling persists

Lido Finance unveiled Staking Router V3, representing a significant upgrade aimed at enhancing both the efficiency and scalability of its liquid staking protocol on Ethereum. This product launch enables additional flexibility for node operators and could expand the platform’s reach by supporting more diverse staking strategies. While these improvements target core protocol architecture, price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish momentum persists as indicators confirm resistance

On the hourly chart, LDO is trading below the MA-20 at $0.2808 and MA-50 at $0.2949, with additional weakness below the long-term MA-200 set at $0.4362. The Ichimoku Kijun line stands at $0.2874 and defines immediate resistance for any rebound attempts. Momentum indicators remain negative, as the MACD and ADX both signal entrenched selling conditions, and the RSI sits at 36.75, indicating persistent sell bias. CCI is well below the oversold threshold, BBP favors sellers intraday, Stoch RSI is neutral, and the Awesome Oscillator continues to indicate short-term downside without notable divergence.

Downside risks remain high amid volatility and weak rebound odds

In the short term, LDO is expected to fluctuate within a typical volatility band ranging from $0.2452 to $0.2757 over the next two to three trading days. The likelihood of an upside breakout remains low, with strong potential for further declines. If resistance at $0.2874 is breached, a rebound becomes possible, though this is considered unlikely in the current setup. Conversely, a move below the $0.2452 support could extend the prevailing downtrend.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Lido (LDO) trading under persistent bearish pressure despite the technical upgrade with Staking Router V3. He notes that all key momentum indicators remain negative and price is below critical moving averages. Kharitonov remains cautious on any rebound until resistance at $0.2874 is reclaimed. "Until LDO breaks above $0.2874 with clear strength, I see little reason to expect lasting recovery from this oversold state."

Earlier, analysts noted that Lido was entrenched in a bearish trend with limited signs of near-term recovery. The current downturn, even amid promising protocol upgrades, reinforces the prevailing sell-side momentum and highlights $0.2452 as a key support level traders should monitor for further downside risk.
