Price Position and Structural State
GSUSDT (GS) closed at 1,034.91 USDT on August 28, 2026, down 0.49%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure inside its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 969.66 USDT, with resistance near 1,078.94 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
GS is trading below the available moving averages. MA20 at 1,037.22 USDT stands as the first resistance area to watch. Long-term moving-average history is still forming, so the most reliable reads come from current price structure and shorter-term moving-average resistance. Once MA100 and MA200 establish, the trend read will carry more historical context.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
GS shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 34.2. 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 data is limited for this asset, so the leverage range cannot be judged reliably yet. This makes futures participation harder to compare with recent history.
Funding is near neutral across the 24-hour and 7-day averages, at 0.000000% and 0.000000%. This shows limited cost pressure on either side, so funding is not giving a strong directional signal right now.
The long/short ratio is 1.07, showing near balance between long and short accounts. It sits near the middle of its 60-day range, so account-side positioning looks balanced.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
GS shows weak linkage to the broader crypto market (Sigloid Index). Correlation is limited, and R² indicates that index behavior explains only a small portion of its movement. This suggests price action is largely driven by asset-specific factors rather than broader market direction.
| Window | Correlation | Beta | R² | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30D | -0.02 | -0.011 | 0 | Inverse linkage |
| 60D | — | — | — | Not enough data |
| 180D | — | — | — | Not enough data |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
GS remains in a low-volatility setup. ATR% reads 2.70, below its full historical range, and Bollinger Band width% reads 4.12, close to the bottom of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is 0.30, so participation is not forcing a broader move yet.
Momentum data is limited for this asset, so indicator pressure cannot be judged cleanly from the available closed-daily readings.
The read is simple: volatility is compressed and momentum is not strong enough yet. A better signal would need range expansion with stronger volume.
Broader Market Regime
The Sigloid Index remains in a bullish regime, showing broad strength across the market. GS has a weak link to that market condition, so price behavior depends more on its own structure than on the broader market trend.
Key Levels for the Next State Change
For GS, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at unavailable establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at unavailable confirms a bearish regime.
