Price Position and Structural State
Zilliqa (ZIL) closed at 0.00374 USDT on May 29, 2026, down 0.80%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure near the bottom of its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 0.00365 USDT, with resistance near 0.00469 USDT. A daily close below 0.00365 USDT would confirm a downside regime shift. A hold near support would keep price inside the range.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
ZIL is trading below all key moving averages. MA9 at 0.0038789 USDT stands as the first moving-average resistance area to watch. Price sits 7.48% below MA50, within its historical distance range of -56.45% to 254.15%. The moving-average structure is bearish without showing extreme downside extension.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
ZIL shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 29.8. 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 -5.39% in one day and remains near the lower side of its 90-day range. This shows participation is weak and exposure is still being reduced.
Funding is near neutral across the 24-hour and 7-day averages, at +0.000712% and +0.002282%. This shows limited cost pressure on either side, so funding is not giving a strong directional signal right now.
The long/short ratio is 1.85, 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
ZIL remains strongly linked to the broader crypto market (Sigloid Index), with beta showing normal sensitivity to index movements. Correlation confirms that ZIL 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 ZIL. 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 | 0.871 | 1.238 | 0.758 | Strong, high beta |
| 60D | 0.856 | 1.045 | 0.733 | Strong linkage |
| 180D | 0.711 | 0.991 | 0.506 | Strong linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
ZIL's bands are opening, but the move still lacks full support. Bollinger Band width% reads 19.29, close to the bottom of its full historical range. ATR% reads 4.89, close to the bottom of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -0.42, showing near-normal participation.
Momentum is weaker. RSI is 38.26, ROC14 is -6.97%, 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. ZIL 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 ZIL, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 0.00469 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 0.00365 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
