Price Position and Structural State
Alien Worlds (TLM) closed at 0.001343 USDT on August 30, 2026, down 6.80%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure near the bottom of its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 0.001268 USDT, with resistance near 0.003624 USDT. A daily close below 0.001268 USDT would confirm a downside regime shift. A hold near support would keep price inside the range.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
TLM is trading below all key moving averages. MA14 at 0.0014339 USDT stands as the first moving-average resistance area to watch. Price sits 15.81% below MA50, within its historical distance range of -46.57% to 152.12%. The moving-average structure is bearish without showing extreme downside extension.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
TLM shows moderate trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 40.8. 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 -1.06% 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%, while the 7-day average is -0.023602%. This shows fresh long-side cost pressure rather than a sustained build across the week.
The long/short ratio is 1.40 and has moved above its 30-day range. This means long accounts are unusually dominant compared with recent history.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
TLM 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. Over the 60-day window, the relationship is stable. Over the 180-day window, the relationship is stable.
| Window | Correlation | Beta | R² | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30D | 0.203 | 0.392 | 0.041 | Weak linkage |
| 60D | 0.146 | 0.688 | 0.021 | Weak linkage |
| 180D | 0.318 | 1.054 | 0.101 | Moderate linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
TLM remains in a low-volatility setup. ATR% reads 11.73, near the lower side of its 90-day range, and Bollinger Band width% reads 22.26, close to the bottom of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -0.57, so participation is not forcing a broader move yet.
Momentum is weaker. RSI is 41.29, ROC14 is -14.08%, and MACD histogram is negative. These readings point in the same direction: downside pressure is active, while recovery pressure remains limited.
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. TLM 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 TLM, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 0.004328 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 0.001268 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
