Crypto analyst Marcus Corvinus highlighted that Lido DAO is still within a descending channel on the weekly chart. This descending channel has a bearish market structure. Sellers are still in full control of the price direction.
The price is currently testing the range of $0.40-$0.45. This price range has previously been a buying point during a downtrend. However, the current buying pressure is short-term in nature. There has been no signal of a trend reversal.
Lido DAO has repeatedly failed to break past the upper boundary of the descending channel. According to analysts, each time Lido DAO has been rejected at the upper boundary of the descending channel, it has been a sign of bearish control. The market is limiting counter-trend movements.

A change in sentiment will require LDO to retake the channel’s midline. The midline has not been retaken recently. Further sell-offs below this level will maintain the current pressure. Further support levels will come into play if the bearish momentum persists further.
