Hence, the smartmoney on-chain platform suggests that FalconX is accumulating LDO.

The most recent local low established by LDO coincides with a long-term trendline from June 2022, when the crypto token dropped to an all-time low of $0.4. If the observed accumulation is anything to go by, traders could expect LDO to climb above immediate resistance at $1.62, ahead of the current range at $1.68. Breaking above these levels could open the way for higher LDO prices, with $1.85 as a possible upside target.
