LDO’s bearish structure has kept the coin under constant selling pressure on the higher and lower timeframes. However, bulls seized the opportunity presented by the bullish sentiment in the market to post decent gains.
The 10% price pump took LDO above the $1.6 resistance with bulls looking to consolidate above the level before pushing for more gains.
The significant bullish strength in the short term was highlighted by the Relative Strength Index’s (RSI) reading of 60. Similarly, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) stood at +0.10 to reveal good capital inflows.
If bulls are able to consolidate above the new support level at $1.6, a 9% profit opportunity exists before the next hurdle at the $1.76 resistance. Nonetheless, the presence of active sellers could see another retracement in the short term which could take LDO back below the $1.6 price zone.
