Price Position and Structural State
Particle Network (PARTI) closed at 0.02421 USDT on August 26, 2026, up 1.42%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure near the bottom of its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 0.01801 USDT, with resistance near 0.05204 USDT. A daily close below 0.01801 USDT would confirm a downside regime shift. A hold near support would keep price inside the range.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
PARTI is trading above short-term moving averages but remains below longer-term resistance. MA20 at 0.023922 USDT can act as near-term support for the recovery attempt, while MA9 at 0.024248 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
PARTI shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 29.3. 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 -9.13% 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 +0.004961%. This shows sustained long-side cost pressure across both short and medium windows.
The long/short ratio is 2.14, sitting near the upper side of its 180-day range at 88.33%. This means long accounts are unusually dominant compared with recent history.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
PARTI 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. 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 | 0.334 | 0.516 | 0.112 | Moderate linkage |
| 60D | 0.186 | 0.387 | 0.035 | Weak linkage |
| 180D | 0.076 | 0.227 | 0.006 | Weak linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
PARTI remains in a low-volatility setup. ATR% reads 10.08, close to the bottom of its full historical range, and Bollinger Band width% reads 18.48, close to the bottom of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -0.63, so participation is not forcing a broader move yet.
Impulse and acceleration are improving, but broader momentum is still weaker. MACD histogram is positive and ROC14 is +7.03%, while RSI is 45.44.
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 bullish regime, showing broad strength across the market. PARTI 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 PARTI, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 0.05204 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 0.01801 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
