Lido Price Plunges 6%: Will it Rebound or Fall Further?

Lido's price has taken a hit this week, dropping by nearly 6% to around $0.37. Despite the decline, traders are watching for signs of stabilization or further downside pressure.

On the technical side, Lido is currently trading just below its 20-day average and is expected to trade between $0.3423 and $0.4014 this week. Support levels lie at $0.3663, while resistance is found at $0.3744.

The asset's price dynamics are influenced by institutional activity and ecosystem developments. A recent launch of a 0x02 Community Staking Module testnet for Ethereum validators has improved validator capital efficiency, and new staking products have been rolled out to institutional clients.

However, Lido's share of Ethereum network staking growth has continued to decline in the first half of 2026 due to fee waivers, promotions, and NEST reserve rules capping revenue for LDO buybacks. The NEST buyback mechanism was paused in early September due to a budget deficit.

Traders will be watching closely as Lido's price tries to rebound from its oversold technicals and elevated uncertainty. A push above $0.3744 could open up the top of the expected range, while a drop below $0.3663 would expose Lido to further losses toward $0.3423.
