- The $2.2 and $2.55 levels have been critical for the past two weeks, and the bears have so far refused to yield $2.55-$2.7.
Lido Finance [LDO] token has been hovering below a key resistance level since mid-November. A whale transferred 500k tokens recently to Binance, raising concerns about a spike in selling pressure.
Lido also benefited from the rising popularity of Blast, an emerging layer 2 blockchain. The influx of ETH deposits could increase Lido’s control over Ethereum.

The Fibonacci retracement and extension levels (light yellow) highlighted that $1.91 and $1.71 could be key support levels if $2.2 were to fail in the coming weeks. On the other hand, a move past the local highs of $2.65 would likely lead to a rally to $3.4.
