The initial breakout pushed price to $1.28 before momentum stalled, triggering a sharp pullback to $0.85. That retracement not only slipped below the 20-day EMA but also undercut the neckline breakout level.<\/p>\n<p>However, it looks like that pullback served as a healthy correction, flushing out weaker positions as strong buying pressure emerged on the dip, sparking a phase of accumulation that lasted almost two weeks, marked by a series of consecutive green daily candles. About halfway through the accumulation phase, Lido price broke decisively above the neckline resistance, completing the delayed breakout from the double bottom, and continued to rally, culminating in yesterday\u2019s peak at $1.63.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, a pullback may be brewing as RSI is overheated at 77 and a bearish divergence begins to form, with momentum lagging behind the latest price high. While buyers still hold the upper hand, the rally\u2019s pace is losing steam. If price stalls or retreats without RSI making a new high, LDO could retrace back toward the breakout zone of $1.18.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/chart\/skYOuuO6\/?symbol=BINANCE%3ALDOUSDT\" target=\"_blank\">TradingView<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s driving Lido price?<\/h2>\n<p>Although LDO price bounced after the dip to $0.85, the current rally appears to be driven less by the earlier double bottom technical setup \u2014 which initially failed \u2014 and more by fresh fundamental catalysts. <\/p>\n<p>Notably, on August 7, GK8, the institutional-grade custody provider under Galaxy, announced the launch of Lido stETH custody services. This integration enables GK8 clients to securely store stETH using advanced solutions like the fully offline\u00a0Impenetrable Vault\u00a0and the ultra-fast uMPC (unlimited Multi-Party Computation) for rapid transaction signing. The news triggered a 12% intraday jump in LDO, kickstarting the sustained accumulation phase that followed as investors priced in stronger institutional adoption of Lido\u2019s staking products.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">GK8 by Galaxy now supports institutional custody of stETH \ud83c\udfe6<\/p>\n<p>This pairs GK8\u2019s Impenetrable Vault and uMPC cosigning framework with over $30B of stETH liquidity, giving asset managers a high-security route to Ethereum staking rewards at scale.<\/p>\n<p>More info: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a6S31vrrh9\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/a6S31vrrh9<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pNH5Pjh3qm\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/pNH5Pjh3qm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lido (@LidoFinance) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LidoFinance\/status\/1953441456078700947?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">August 7, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Additionally, Ethereum (ETH) is surging \u2014 currently trading at $4,626 and up 7% in the past 24 hours \u2014 edging closer to its ATH of $4,892.
