After the 38.2% Fibonacci resistance refuted the recent bull run, the sellers navigated the trend in their favor by sinking the price toward the $2.5 base. This has impacted the buyer’s ability to offer a vigorous counter in the Point of Control (POC, red) zone.
Should the selling pressure continue to endure, a close below the $2.6-mark could open up a route toward the retest of the $2.5-mark before a bull resurgence. At press time, SAND was trading at $2.69, up by 2.73% in the last 24 hours.

Since hitting its ATH last year, the bears have persistently marked lower peaks while the bulls upheld the $2.5 floor for over five months now. This trajectory visibly portrayed a superior bearish vigor while the bulls struggled to alter the long-term outlook to their fancy.
The recent buying rally from its long-term demand zone ceased at the 38.2% Fibonacci resistance, near its 200 EMA (green). Consequently, SAND was down by nearly 17.2% from 20-25 April. Resembling the market-wide recovery over the past day, SAND bounced back from its long-term support.
Giving due importance to the strength of the current trend, a likely fall from the $2.6-mark could push SAND for a retest of its long-term support. Unless the bulls show up on boosted volumes, the sellers would aim to persist on the current descending broadening wedge setup.
A possible break above the 20 EMA (red) in the coming times would elevate the chances of a possible breakout rally toward the POC and eventually the 23.6% level.
