Price Position and Structural State
Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) closed at 0.05228 USDT on May 29, 2026, down 1.12%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure near the bottom of its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 0.03879 USDT, with resistance near 0.08957 USDT. A daily close below 0.03879 USDT would confirm a downside regime shift. A hold near support would keep price inside the range.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
PNUT is trading below short-term moving averages while still holding above longer-term support. MA9 at 0.055046 USDT may cap short-term recovery attempts, while MA100 at 0.050003 USDT remains the more significant structural support area. The structure resembles a pullback within a broader trend more than a full trend failure.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
PNUT shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 24.9. 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 -4.02% in one day and remains near the lower side of its 30-day range. This shows participation is weak and exposure is still being reduced.
Funding is positive on the 24-hour average at +0.005000%, while the 7-day average is +0.000022%. This shows fresh long-side cost pressure rather than a sustained build across the week.
The long/short ratio is 0.87, sitting near the lower side of its 180-day range at 13.92%. This means short accounts dominate, with the long/short reading near the low side of recent history.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
PNUT remains strongly linked to the broader crypto market (Sigloid Index), with beta indicating higher sensitivity to index movements. Correlation confirms that PNUT moves in line with the index, while R² shows that index behavior explains a significant share of its movement. Elevated beta means price tends to amplify broader market moves rather than simply track them. 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 | 0.667 | 1.615 | 0.445 | Strong, high beta |
| 60D | 0.62 | 2.069 | 0.384 | Strong, high beta |
| 180D | 0.699 | 1.315 | 0.489 | Strong, high beta |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
PNUT's volatility profile is controlled rather than stretched. ATR% reads 9.12, near the lower side of its full historical range. Bollinger Band width% reads 23.57, close to the bottom of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -1.23. Range expansion is not leading the setup right now.
Momentum is weaker. RSI is 41.99, ROC14 is -15.51%, and MACD histogram is negative. These readings point in the same direction: downside pressure is active, while recovery pressure remains limited.
The read is cautious: downside momentum is active, but volatility and participation do not confirm a strong break yet.
Broader Market Regime
The Sigloid Index remains in a sideways regime, showing no clear broad market direction. PNUT 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 PNUT, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 0.08957 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 0.03879 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
