How has the market reacted?
At the time of writing, SAND exchanged hands at $0.7688, according to CoinMarketCap data. In the past 24 hours, the price of the metaverse-based token is up 2%. Trading volume also increased by 13% during that period.
However, the price increase was due to Bitcoin’s 1% jump [BTC] price within the same period, as a look at SAND’s performance on a 12-hour chart revealed that the market was moving sideways.
When the price of a crypto asset is trading within a tight range, it is usually seen as an indication of low volatility. In addition, it often means indecisiveness on the part of buyers and sellers who cannot steer the price in either direction.
This results in a period of consolidation where the market waits for a catalyst to move the price in a certain direction.

At the time of writing, key momentum indicators remained flat. The alt’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Money Flow Index (MFI) came in at 56.36 and 54.36, respectively.
In addition, as SAND traders waited for a decisive price move, buyers’ hold on the market weakened. This was evident from the position of the Directional Movement Index (DMI).
At the time of writing, the Positive Directional Indicator (green) was in a downtrend at 26. In addition, the Average Directional Index (yellow), also in a downtrend at 28, confirmed that buyers had declined significantly.
Finally, an assessment of SAND’s Absolute Price Oscillator (APO) showed a slim probability of a short-term price upward burst. At the time of writing, it was pegged at 0.0083. A smaller positive value for an asset’s APO generally indicates a weak uptrend
