Lido DAO most 'overbought' since April as LDO price rallies 150% in two weeks — what's next?
The price of Lido DAO (LDO) dropped heavily a day after its key momentum oscillator crossed into "overbought" territory.
LDO's price plunged to as low as $1.04 on July 16 from $1.32 on July 15, amounting to a 20%-plus decline. The token's sharp downside move took its cues from multiple bearish technical indicators, including its daily relative strength index (RSI) and its 100-day exponential moving average (EMA).
LDO's latest plunge came after it rallied over 150% in just two weeks, a move that simultaneously pushed its daily RSI above 70 on July 15, thus turning it overbought.
An overbought RSI signals that the rally may be nearing an end while readying for a short-term pullback.
Meanwhile, more downside cues for the Lido DAO token came from its 100-day EMA (the black wave in the chart above) near $1.30, which capped LDO from extending its 150% price rally.
In its initial stages, the price action looked similar to LDO's correction in April 2022, after its RSI crossed above 70 for the first time in history. Notably, the Lido DAO token had undergone a 90%-plus price decline to reach $0.39, its record low, by mid-June 2022.

That raises LDO's potential to repeat the April-June 2022 correction, albeit with no exact bottom in sight. That said, the token's interim downside target appears near its 50-day EMA (the red wave) at $0.90, down another 20% from today's price.
On the other hand, a break below the 50-day EMA would risk crashing LDO to around $0.75, which coincides with the 0.618 Fib line of the Fibonacci retracement graph drawn from $0.39-swing low to $1.31-swing high.
