Price Position and Structural State
Animecoin (ANIME) closed at 0.002702 USDT on July 16, 2026, down 2.35%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure near the bottom of its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 0.002378 USDT, with resistance near 0.004499 USDT. A daily close below 0.002378 USDT would confirm a downside regime shift. A hold near support would keep price inside the range.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
ANIME is trading below all key moving averages. MA20 at 0.0027441 USDT stands as the first moving-average resistance area to watch. Price sits 9.26% below MA50, within its historical distance range of -41.79% to 84.91%. The moving-average structure is bearish without showing extreme downside extension.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
ANIME shows moderate trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 40.0. The score combines price progress, wick rejection, and volume confirmation. Recent candles show mixed acceptance, so price is moving but still showing some noise. Moves near support or resistance need a cleaner daily close before they carry stronger weight.
Open Interest, Funding, and Positioning
Open interest increased +0.65% in one day but remains near the lower side of its 180-day range. This shows participation is improving from a low leverage base.
Funding is positive on the 24-hour average at +0.003446%, with the 7-day average also positive at +0.003534%. This shows sustained long-side cost pressure across both short and medium windows.
The long/short ratio is 2.03, showing more long accounts than short accounts. It sits near the middle of its 60-day range, so this is a long tilt without clear historical crowding.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
ANIME remains strongly linked to the broader crypto market (Sigloid Index), with beta showing normal sensitivity to index movements. Correlation confirms that ANIME moves closely with the index, while R² shows that index behavior explains a significant share of its movement. This means broader market direction carries meaningful weight when interpreting ANIME. Over the 30-day window, the relationship is stable. Over the 60-day window, the relationship is stable. Over the 180-day window, the relationship is stable.
| Window | Correlation | Beta | R² | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30D | 0.726 | 1.14 | 0.527 | Strong linkage |
| 60D | 0.77 | 0.985 | 0.593 | Strong linkage |
| 180D | 0.696 | 0.839 | 0.485 | Strong linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
ANIME remains in a low-volatility setup. ATR% reads 6.24, close to the bottom of its full historical range, and Bollinger Band width% reads 9.85, close to the bottom of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -0.56, so participation is not forcing a broader move yet.
MACD histogram has turned positive, while RSI is 42.70 and ROC14 is -0.22%. Short-term impulse is trying to turn first, but broader momentum and acceleration still lag.
The read is early: some pressure is improving, but the asset remains compressed. A better signal would need range expansion and stronger volume.
Broader Market Regime
The Sigloid Index remains in a sideways regime, showing no clear broad market direction. ANIME stays closely linked to that market condition, so changes in market sentiment can still influence price behavior even when the broader trend is unclear.
Key Levels for the Next State Change
For ANIME, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 0.004499 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 0.002378 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
