Market Structure Context

Sigloid Index measures the broader crypto market bias. Sigloid Index closed at 796.27 with BULLISH structure, while the primary regime remains BULLISH. The index is trading above its prior 55-day resistance near 758.90, with support lower near 615.54. That means the broader crypto backdrop is showing upside expansion rather than simply sitting inside the range. The 14-day average stands at 719.81, and the index is holding above it. That supports short-term momentum, but the broader message still depends on whether price is inside the range, above resistance, or below support. Read more about the Sigloid Index
