Sigloid Index measures the broader crypto market bias. Sigloid Index closed at 884.26 with BULLISH structure, while the primary regime remains BULLISH. The index is trading above its prior 55-day resistance near 832.37, with support lower near 649.61. That means the broader crypto backdrop is showing upside expansion rather than simply sitting inside the range. The 14-day average stands at 741.74, 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
