Price Position and Structural State
Akash Network (AKT) closed at 0.8038 USDT on May 29, 2026, up 0.70%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure near the top of its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 0.4136 USDT, with resistance near 0.9571 USDT. A daily close above 0.9571 USDT would confirm an upside regime shift. A rejection near resistance would keep price inside the range.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
AKT is trading below short-term moving averages while still holding above longer-term support. MA20 at 0.803905 USDT may cap short-term recovery attempts, while MA14 at 0.79845 USDT remains the more significant structural support area. The structure resembles a pullback within a broader trend more than a full trend failure.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
AKT shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 23.1. 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 fell sharply -13.77% in one day, showing a major reduction in futures exposure. OI sits near the middle of its 60-day range, so the move reduces leverage from a normal base rather than clearing an already crowded leverage base.
Funding is positive on the 24-hour average at +0.007716%, with the 7-day average also positive at +0.005755%. This shows sustained long-side cost pressure across both short and medium windows.
The long/short ratio is 1.67, sitting near the lower side of its 30-day range at 19.47%. This means long accounts still dominate, but the long tilt is weaker than usual 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 strengthening. Over the 60-day window, the relationship is stable. Over the 180-day window, the relationship is stable.
| Window | Correlation | Beta | R² | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30D | 0.356 | 1.336 | 0.127 | Moderate linkage |
| 60D | 0.5 | 1.313 | 0.25 | Moderate linkage |
| 180D | 0.61 | 1.111 | 0.372 | Strong linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
AKT is moving more day to day, but participation remains weak. ATR% reads 10.59, near the upper side of its 60-day range, while Bollinger Band width% reads 29.02, near the lower side of its 30-day range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -1.15.
Momentum is improving, but not fully confirmed. RSI is 55.47 and ROC14 is +10.12%, showing upside pressure, while MACD histogram remains negative. Price momentum is improving, but short-term impulse has not fully turned.
The read is still incomplete: momentum is improving, but volatility or participation has not confirmed the move strongly enough.
Broader Market Regime
The Sigloid Index remains in a sideways regime, showing no clear broad market direction. AKT has a moderate link to that market condition, so broader market moves can influence price behavior, but the effect is not consistent.
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 0.9571 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 0.4136 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
