Daily Analysis Explained

Built from closed daily candles only. It summarizes what the recent data shows using the latest confirmed close, not predictions.

Use it to understand the asset’s state, key levels, and how it has behaved relative to the Sigloid Index.

Price Structure and Asset State

As of the most recent closed session (2026-02-09), the close is 0.04902 (-3.86% vs the prior close).

55 day range levels are 0.03922 (support) and 0.46935 (resistance).

Asset state is BEARISH, active since 2026-01-19.

Breakdown level (acceptance line) is 0.18424.

State Monitoring and Trend References

Acceptance is intact. The close is below the breakdown level (0.18424), so the bearish state remains active by definition.

Breakdown story: price spent about 126 sessions holding above the breakdown level (0.18424) before finally closing below it.

The close is below MA14 (0.057164), a short-term pivot.

The close is below MA200 (0.249639), a long-horizon anchor level.

Price Behavior and Friction

Friction is HIGH. This is a read of effort versus progress using multi-day candle quality and volatility behavior.

Volatility is 35.69% ATR and 167.93% Bollinger width. Relative volume signal (Z20) is -1.15.

Participation and Positioning

Open interest is 0.31% over 1 day and -17.15% over 7 days.

Funding is 0.000050 and long/short ratio is 1.19.

Intent read: Follow-through. The active state is still being respected by the close.

Asset Sensitivity to the Sigloid Index

60D correlation is weak (0.30). Correlation describes how consistently this asset moves in the same direction as the index.

180D correlation is weak (0.14), which helps confirm whether the relationship holds over a longer window.

60D beta is low (0.70). Beta measures sensitivity: above 1 means amplified moves relative to the index, below 1 means muted moves.

180D beta is low (0.44), a longer-horizon view of that sensitivity.

60D R² is low (0.09). R² is a reliability check: higher means more of this asset’s moves were explained by the index during the window.

180D R² is low (0.02), which reduces the risk of over-reading a short sample.

Indicator Trends

Volume is below its 14 day average and is falling versus recent norms, which frames participation quality.

Bollinger width is below its 14 day average, pointing to volatility compression.

ATR percent is below its 14 day average, so daily ranges have been narrowing versus recent conditions.

RSI is above its 14 day average and improving versus the last two weeks.

MACD histogram is above its 14 day average, a simple check on short-term momentum bias.

Open interest is below its 14 day average, which suggests leverage has been unwinding versus the recent baseline.

Funding is above its 14 day average, which helps flag crowding risk when it rises without matching price progress.

Regime Alignment

Sigloid Index bias is BEARISH (primary regime: BEARISH), active since 2026-02-09.

Alignment is aligned. Aligned conditions tend to be easier to sustain. Mixed or against conditions tend to be more fragile.

This asset has been less index-linked historically, so the index bias is less informative for it than for high-correlation assets.

What Would Change the Asset State

System definition: the bearish state remains active only while the daily close stays below 0.18424. A close back above that level returns the state to SIDEWAYS.
