Price rose from $3.00 in November to nearly $5.00 in December. This bullish trend featured strong green candles and sustained momentum.Source: CryptoRankHowever, January 2025 marked a turning point. Prices sharply dropped from the $5.00 level as selling pressure surged. February extended this downtrend, bringing the price below $2.00. Trading volumes spiked to 2.07 million EIGEN during these volatile phases. Between March and April, the asset consolidated between $1.00 and $2.00. Volatility eased, and the trend turned neutral. The price now stands at $1.287, down 3.52% on the day, with a recent low of $1.228.MACD values are currently 0.052, 0.105, and 0.053. These values signal mild bullish momentum, though previous crossovers suggest indecision. Additionally, RSI sits at 62.66, slightly above the signal line at 55.29. This suggests that the token isn’t overbought yet.Lombard Partnership Brings Bitcoin to Eigenlayer RestakingBesides market fluctuations, the recent Lombard and Eigenlayer collaboration adds fundamental support.

Consequently, they can secure AVSs like LayerZero and Babylon-validated networks. Moreover, LBTC lets users stay liquid while joining DeFi activities. Lombard also announced dual reward mechanisms for LBTC holders—base yield from Babylon and restaking returns from Eigenlayer.Eigenlayer now supports over 190 AVSs and 80,000 staking addresses. Additionally, Lombard and Eigenlayer are working on slashing risk frameworks to ensure added security for restaked BTC.Source link
