Price Position and Structural State
Teradyne, Inc. (TER) closed at 356.94 USDT on August 28, 2026, down 3.64%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure inside its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 296.73 USDT, with resistance near 445.76 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
TER is trading below all key moving averages. MA50 at 370.328 USDT stands as the first moving-average resistance area to watch. The more notable signal is downside extension: TER sits 3.62% below MA50, while its historical range runs from -1.27% to 2.95%. Price has moved beyond the lower side of that historical range, which means the downside move is pronounced but also raises mean-reversion risk from a stretched position.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
TER shows moderate trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 52.6. The score combines price progress, wick rejection, and volume confirmation. Recent candles show mixed acceptance, so price is moving but still showing some noise. Moves near support or resistance need a cleaner daily close before they carry stronger weight.
Open Interest, Funding, and Positioning
Open interest fell -6.66% in one day, showing clear position reduction. OI sits near the middle of its 60-day range, so the move reduces leverage from a normal base rather than clearing an already crowded leverage base.
Funding is near neutral across the 24-hour and 7-day averages, at 0.000000% and +0.002401%. This shows limited cost pressure on either side, so funding is not giving a strong directional signal right now.
The long/short ratio is 1.81, sitting near the upper side of its 30-day range at 86.61%. This means long accounts are unusually dominant compared with recent history.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
TER 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 stable.
| Window | Correlation | Beta | R² | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30D | -0.05 | -0.082 | 0.002 | Inverse linkage |
| 60D | — | — | — | Not enough data |
| 180D | — | — | — | Not enough data |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
TER's volatility profile is controlled rather than stretched. ATR% reads 6.60, near the lower side of its full historical range. Bollinger Band width% reads 23.96, near the middle of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -0.36. Range expansion is not leading the setup right now.
Momentum is weaker. RSI is 42.80, ROC14 is -14.92%, 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 bullish regime, showing broad strength across the market. TER 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 TER, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 445.76 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 296.73 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
