Price Position and Structural State
Akash Network (AKT) closed at 0.504 USDT on August 30, 2026, down 1.37%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure inside its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 0.408 USDT, with resistance near 0.6415 USDT. Price is near the middle of the range, so the market has no clear structural edge until it closes outside these levels.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
AKT is trading below all key moving averages, but the weakness is still early rather than deeply stretched. MA50 at 0.5166 USDT stands as the first moving-average resistance area to reclaim. Price sits 2.44% below MA50, within a historical range of -46.57% to 71.34%. The structure is bearish, but downside extension remains inside its normal range.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
AKT shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 28.2. The score combines price progress, wick rejection, and volume confirmation. Recent candles show contested movement, with weak price progress or heavier wick rejection. In this condition, moves near support or resistance carry less weight until price closes more cleanly.
Open Interest, Funding, and Positioning
Open interest changed only +0.01% in one day and remains near the lower side of its 180-day range. This shows participation is still light, with no clear leverage expansion yet.
Funding is positive on the 24-hour average at +0.005000%, with the 7-day average also positive at +0.005000%. This shows sustained long-side cost pressure across both short and medium windows.
The long/short ratio is 2.06, sitting near the upper side of its 180-day range at 86.90%. This means long accounts are unusually dominant compared with recent history.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
AKT shows a moderate relationship with the broader crypto market (Sigloid Index). Correlation indicates partial co-movement with the index, while R² suggests that index behavior explains only part of its movement. This means broader market direction has some influence, but asset-specific factors remain important. Over the 30-day window, the relationship is stable. Over the 60-day window, the relationship is strengthening. Over the 180-day window, the relationship is stable.
| Window | Correlation | Beta | R² | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30D | 0.437 | 0.806 | 0.191 | Moderate linkage |
| 60D | 0.549 | 1.006 | 0.301 | Moderate linkage |
| 180D | 0.444 | 0.922 | 0.198 | Moderate linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
AKT is moving more day to day, but participation remains weak. ATR% reads 7.97, near the upper side of its 30-day range, while Bollinger Band width% reads 19.80, close to the bottom of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -0.51.
Momentum is weaker. RSI is 44.90, ROC14 is -1.50%, and MACD histogram is negative. These readings point in the same direction: downside pressure is active, while recovery pressure remains limited.
The read is cautious: downside momentum is active, but volatility and participation do not confirm a strong break yet.
Broader Market Regime
The Sigloid Index remains in a bullish regime, showing broad strength across the market. AKT has a moderate link to that market condition, so market strength can still influence price behavior, while asset specific factors also matter.
Key Levels for the Next State Change
For AKT, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 0.6474 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 0.408 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
