Price Position and Structural State
zkPass (ZKP) closed at 0.0451 USDT on July 16, 2026, down 0.57%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure near the bottom of its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 0.04228 USDT, with resistance near 0.07727 USDT. A daily close below 0.04228 USDT would confirm a downside regime shift. A hold near support would keep price inside the range.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
ZKP is trading between key moving averages. MA9 at 0.044957 USDT stands as moving-average support, while MA20 at 0.047218 USDT stands as moving-average resistance. This creates a clear decision zone. A sustained hold above MA9 at 0.044957 USDT keeps the structure constructive, while a rejection near MA20 at 0.047218 USDT leaves the trend unresolved.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
ZKP shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 23.0. 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 +1.08% 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 positive on the 24-hour average at +0.005000%, with the 7-day average also positive at +0.004882%. This shows sustained long-side cost pressure across both short and medium windows.
The long/short ratio is 0.88, showing near balance between long and short accounts. It sits near the middle of its 60-day range, so account-side positioning looks balanced.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
ZKP shows a moderate relationship with the broader crypto market (Sigloid Index). Correlation indicates partial co-movement with the index, while R² suggests that index behavior explains only part of its movement. This means broader market direction has some influence, but asset-specific factors remain important. Over the 30-day window, the relationship is weakening. Over the 60-day window, the relationship is stable. Over the 180-day window, the relationship is stable.
| Window | Correlation | Beta | R² | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30D | 0.385 | 1.137 | 0.148 | Moderate linkage |
| 60D | 0.511 | 1.068 | 0.262 | Moderate linkage |
| 180D | 0.429 | 0.865 | 0.184 | Moderate linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
ZKP's volatility profile is controlled rather than stretched. ATR% reads 9.41, near the lower side of its full historical range. Bollinger Band width% reads 33.48, near the middle of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -0.30. Range expansion is not leading the setup right now.
MACD histogram has turned positive, while RSI is 42.29 and ROC14 is -2.68%. Short-term impulse is trying to turn first, but broader momentum and acceleration still lag.
The read is still incomplete: momentum is improving, but volatility or participation has not confirmed the move strongly enough.
Broader Market Regime
The Sigloid Index remains in a sideways regime, showing no clear broad market direction. ZKP has a moderate link to that market condition, so broader market moves can influence price behavior, but the effect is not consistent.
Key Levels for the Next State Change
For ZKP, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 0.08077 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 0.04228 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
