Price Position and Structural State
Ankr Network (ANKR) closed at 0.003929 USDT on August 30, 2026, down 2.00%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure near the top of its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 0.003226 USDT, with resistance near 0.004194 USDT. A daily close above 0.004194 USDT would confirm an upside regime shift. A rejection near resistance would keep price inside the range.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
ANKR is trading above short-term moving averages but remains below longer-term resistance. MA14 at 0.0038536 USDT can act as near-term support for the recovery attempt, while MA9 at 0.0040223 USDT is the key level to reclaim for a broader trend shift. Short-term structure has improved, but longer-term moving averages still show overhead resistance.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
ANKR shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 31.1. 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 -0.99% in one day and remains near the lower side of its 180-day range. This shows participation is weak and exposure is still being reduced.
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 1.63, 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
ANKR remains strongly linked to the broader crypto market (Sigloid Index), but its beta shows lower sensitivity. Correlation confirms that ANKR tends to move with the index, while R² indicates that index behavior explains a meaningful share of its movement. Lower beta means price moves with less intensity than the index, not that the relationship is weak. 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 | 0.687 | 0.611 | 0.473 | Strong, lower beta |
| 60D | 0.566 | 0.622 | 0.32 | Moderate linkage |
| 180D | 0.503 | 0.598 | 0.253 | Moderate linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
ANKR's bands are opening, but the move still lacks full support. Bollinger Band width% reads 33.59, near the lower side of its full historical range. ATR% reads 4.72, close to the bottom of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -0.63, showing slightly below-normal participation.
Momentum is stronger. RSI is 60.38, ROC14 is +17.71%, and MACD histogram is positive. These readings point in the same direction: upside pressure is active across momentum and multi-day acceleration.
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 bullish regime, showing broad strength across the market. ANKR stays closely linked to that market condition, so broader market strength can support price behavior and keep market direction important for this asset.
Key Levels for the Next State Change
For ANKR, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 0.004194 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 0.003226 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
