Price Position and Structural State
yearn.finance (YFI) closed at 2,317 USDT on October 15, 2026, up 2.39%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure inside its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 1,972 USDT, with resistance near 2,743 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
YFI is trading inside a zone of moving-average confluence. MA200 at 2,265.44 USDT sits just below price, while MA50 at 2,317.12 USDT sits just above. The compression across multiple moving averages signals range contraction rather than trend dominance. The next meaningful read comes from price separating cleanly from this cluster.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
YFI shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 32.4. 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 +0.37% in one day but remains near the lower side of its 180-day range. This shows participation is improving from a low leverage base.
Funding is negative on the 24-hour average at -0.001430%, while the 7-day average is +0.003552%. This shows fresh short-side cost pressure rather than a sustained build across the week.
The long/short ratio is 1.75, showing more long accounts than short accounts. It sits near the middle of its 60-day range, so this is a long tilt without clear historical crowding.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
YFI remains strongly linked to the broader crypto market (Sigloid Index), with beta showing normal sensitivity to index movements. Correlation confirms that YFI moves closely with the index, while R² shows that index behavior explains a significant share of its movement. This means broader market direction carries meaningful weight when interpreting YFI. 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 | 0.815 | 0.954 | 0.664 | Strong linkage |
| 60D | 0.831 | 0.844 | 0.69 | Strong linkage |
| 180D | 0.52 | 0.917 | 0.27 | Moderate linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
YFI is moving more day to day, but participation remains weak. ATR% reads 5.93, close to the bottom of its full historical range, while Bollinger Band width% reads 17.90, close to the bottom of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is 0.16.
Momentum is mixed. RSI is 46.65, ROC14 is -6.31%, and MACD histogram does not confirm a clean direction. Indicator pressure remains uneven.
The read is incomplete, so support, resistance, and the daily close matter more than the indicator setup.
Broader Market Regime
The Sigloid Index remains in a sideways regime, showing no clear broad market direction. YFI 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 YFI, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 2,743 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 1,972 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
