Lido DAO's native token LDO has clawed back above all major moving averages in recent trading, but the recovery is running out of steam. The token now faces a hard ceiling at $0.41, where sell orders are piling up and momentum has faded.
Resistance at $0.41
The $0.41 level has become a wall for LDO. After climbing back above key moving averages — including the 50-day, 100-day and 200-day — the token stalled at that price point. Buyers haven't been able to push through, and the chart shows repeated rejections near that mark.
Technical indicators point to exhaustion. The recent upward move has lost its force, and the token is now trading in a narrow range just below resistance. Without fresh buying pressure, breaking above $0.41 looks like a tough ask.
Sell flow dominates
On the order books, sellers are in control. Taker volume is skewed toward sells, meaning aggressive traders are offloading LDO rather than accumulating. That kind of flow typically precedes a pullback, especially when a token is already struggling at a resistance level.
The sell dominance isn't a flash in the pan either. It's been the prevailing pattern over the past several sessions, suggesting that the recovery rally may have been a short squeeze or a dead cat bounce rather than a genuine trend reversal.
LDO's price action is now at a crossroads. The moving averages underneath could provide support, but if sellers keep the upper hand, a retest of lower levels is possible. For now, the token is stuck between a floor of moving averages and a ceiling of $0.41.
Traders are watching whether LDO can muster enough volume to break above $0.41 or if the sell pressure will push it back down toward the moving averages.
