LidoDAO Price Prediction as LDO Pumps Up 10% in 24 Hours – Here are Key Levels to Watch
Lido token (LDO), the utility and governance token for the Lido Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that controls Ethereum liquid staking protocol Lido, has seen significant upside volatility in the past few days.

With already around 5.5x up from its June 2022 lows in the $0.40 per token area, such a rally in the short term shouldn’t be ruled out as impossible.
