Price Position and Structural State
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (TTWO) closed at 236.84 USDT on August 27, 2026, up 0.45%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure inside its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 213.63 USDT, with resistance near 266 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
TTWO is trading below the available moving averages. MA9 at 238.793 USDT stands as the first resistance area to watch. Long-term moving-average history is still forming, so the most reliable reads come from current price structure and shorter-term moving-average resistance. Once MA100 and MA200 establish, the trend read will carry more historical context.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
TTWO shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 27.0. 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 increased sharply +10.10% in one day and moved above its 180-day range. This shows fresh leverage expansion, with new futures exposure now above the highest level from that range.
Funding is positive on the 24-hour average at +0.049994%, with the 7-day average also positive at +0.006910%. This shows sustained long-side cost pressure across both short and medium windows.
The long/short ratio is 1.94 and has moved above its 30-day range. This means long accounts are unusually dominant compared with recent history.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
TTWO 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 | 0.044 | 0.028 | 0.002 | Weak linkage |
| 60D | — | — | — | Not enough data |
| 180D | — | — | — | Not enough data |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
TTWO is moving more from day to day, but the broader volatility envelope has not fully opened. ATR% reads 3.89, near the upper side of its 30-day range, while Bollinger Band width% reads 8.22, near the middle of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is 3.77.
Momentum is weaker. RSI is 43.64, ROC14 is -2.53%, 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. TTWO 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 TTWO, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 266 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 213.63 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
