- Sandbox price extends its gains on Monday after rallying more than 16% the previous week.
- On-chain data paints a bullish picture as SAND’s open interest and whale transactions are rising.
- A weekly candlestick close below $0.46 would invalidate the bullish thesis.
Sandbox (SAND) price extends its gains by 7% and trades around $0.68 at the time of writing on Monday after rallying more than 16% the previous week. On-chain data paints a bullish picture, as SAND’s open interest and whale transactions are rising. The technical outlook suggests a rally continuation, with a target toward the $1 mark.
Sandbox price looks promising
Sandbox price found support around the previous broken descending trendline drawn by connecting multiple highs from July 2022. It bounced 18% from mid-December to the end of the month. On Monday, the gains extend by 7%, trading around $0.68 at the time of writing.
If SAND continues its upward momentum, it could extend the rally by 45% to retest the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, drawn from the July 2022 high of $1.49 to the August 2024 low of $0.20, at $1.00.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the weekly chart reads at 59, above its neutral level of 50 and pointing upwards, indicating bullish momentum is gaining traction.
SAND/USDT weekly chart
Coinglass’s data shows that the futures’ Open Interest (OI) in SAND at exchanges rose from $82.78 million on Wednesday to $150.26 million on Monday, reaching the highest level since December 12. An increasing OI represents new or additional money entering the market and new buying, which suggests a rally ahead in the Sandbox price.

Santiment’s Whale Transaction Count (>100K USD) shows rising spikes, indicating increasing whale activity. Moreover, the Exchange Flow Balance for SAND shows a negative value, indicating more SAND left the exchange than entered. This indicates less selling pressure from investors, adding further credence to the bullish outlook.

However, if the SAND weekly candlestick closes below its 50-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.46, the bullish thesis would be invalidated, leading to a price decline toward the next weekly support level of $0.388.
