88% drawdown and still getting a SELL rating. love the honesty here, most analysis on LDO tries to find a silver lining where there isnt one
88% drawdown doesnt mean it cant go to 95%. falling knives all the way down on LDO
OBV going down with volume ratio at 0.58 means insiders already left. retail holding the bag as usual
0.29 is the bottom tho. ETH staking dominance doesnt just vanish. yall selling into the worst possible spot
^ the 50d is rising but everything else screams distribution. one bullish signal against eight bearish ones isnt a bottom call
eth staking dominance is eroding fast with restaking eating into lidos share. 0.29 isnt a floor its a pitstop
staking dominance at 0.29 while every LST competitor is eating lunch. lido governance cant ship fast enough to matter, stakers just routing to better yields elsewhere
sol_melt calling 0.29 the bottom is exactly how bagholders talk. there is no floor on a token down 92% with declining market share
lido at 0.92 with staking dominance bleeding to restaking protocols is the slowest death spiral ive seen. used to be THE liquid staking play and now its just legacy infrastructure
staking dominance at 0.29 while restaking protocols eat the yield. lido literally invented liquid staking and theyre bleeding share to competitors they spawned
^ unstake_kep is right though, 0.29 dominance isnt a floor its a trend. lido spawned the competitors eating its lunch
8 bear factors and people still asking if its a buy. the OBV has been screaming distribution for weeks
50d rounded up as the single bull factor while OBV and volume ratio scream distribution. even the bull case is a stretch
