Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, points out that SAND’s current price strength is undercut by major long-term resistance at the MA-200. He notes the mixture of overbought oscillators and persistent bearish signals, calling the technical situation unstable and vulnerable. The absence of supportive news undermines bullish sentiment and increases risk to the downside. Kharitonov stresses that key support at $0.1187 could easily give way, increasing the odds of a breakdown as broader momentum remains weak. He cautions, "Traders should treat any short-term upticks as fragile until SAND breaks above $0.1267 with conviction and improved market context."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes SAND is demonstrating an encouraging recovery, with the price above both short- and medium-term moving averages. He sees the bullish structure as intact despite technical headwinds, noting that active demand and intraday momentum could support renewed advances soon. The lack of negative news allows price action to play out without external pressure. Karapetjanc asserts confidence in further growth should resistance at $0.1267 be cleared. He says, "With consolidation giving buyers new setups, I expect SAND to attempt an upside move if bullish momentum persists."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, identifies mixed momentum for SAND, with intraday buyers visible but longer-term signals still hesitant. He highlights the short-term range between $0.1116 and $0.1187 as a prime area for tactical trades, as both support and resistance are closely contested. Oscillators suggest a possible near-term squeeze, but there is little external news to sway sentiment further. "Active traders should watch for a break of $0.1187 or $0.1267 for direction, as SAND’s next move is likely to be sharp and sentiment-driven," he concludes.

Mixed indicator divergence as volatility and overbought signals intensify

Momentum indicators on the daily timeframe remain mixed: while MACD signals pronounced bearishness and the ADX reflects persistent but moderate selling pressure, oscillators such as the RSI, Stoch RSI, and CCI indicate overbought conditions and active buying. BBP further confirms buyer dominance intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator trends positively, reinforcing upward momentum. The strong upward move, with increased volatility and bullish price action near session highs, is tempered by some divergence between bearish momentum signals and buy-oriented oscillators. Key support lies near $0.1187 as per the Ichimoku indicator, while resistance is clustered around $0.1267 with the MA-50.

Previously it was reported that SAND was recovering above the short-term MA-20 but remained below the MA-50 and MA-200, with dynamic support at the Ichimoku Kijun and resistance near the MA-50. Mixed momentum indicators persist, as daily MACD signals strong sell while oscillators such as RSI and CCI highlight overbought conditions, and intraday volatility stays limited within a narrow range — suggesting a sideways bias and low probability of an upside breakout according to analysts noted mixed momentum indicators persist.
