Lookonchain, an on-chain tracking firm, revealed in a tweet earlier today that 127M The Sandbox (SAND) tokens were transferred from wallets belonging to The Sandbox team during the past 12 hours. Meanwhile, the tokenomics monitoring platform Token Unlocks noted that 332.55 million SAND, which is 16.16% of the circulating supply, will be unlocked after 10 days.

According to Lookonchain’s post, the 127 million SAND transferred today is worth $51.23 million. The 332.55 million SAND that will be unlocked in the next 10 days is estimated to be worth approximately $134.4 million.
These unlocked tokens may bring SAND’s down as more tokens will enter into circulation – diluting the altcoin’s value. Furthermore, some of these unlocked tokens may be sold off, which could bring the SAND’s price down even more.
At press time, SAND was changing hands at $0.4021 according to CoinMarketCap. This was after it dropped 2.38% over the past 24 hours. Despite the daily loss, the 24-hour volume for SAND was up 24.18%. Subsequently, the altcoin’s total trading volume stood at $55,768,820.

From a technical perspective, the 9-day EMA line crossed bearishly below the 20-day EMA line on 26 July 2023, which signaled that SAND had entered into a short-term negative trend. This resulted in the altcoin’s price dropping to a low of $0.4202. This created a sense of urgency within bulls, as they stepped in to protect SAND’s price from dropping further.
Although buyers were able to elevate SAND’s price to above the 9-day and 20-day EMA lines to $0.4406, the break above the technical indicators was short-lived. In the week that followed, overwhelming sell pressure forced the altcoin’s price back below the two EMA lines to its current price.
Consequently, SAND was resting above the minor support level at $0.3970 at press time. Should it close today’s trading session below this price point, it may drop to the crucial support level at $0.3746 in the following 48 hours.
On the other hand, if SAND’s price rebounds off of the $0.3970 support in the coming 48 hours, then it may recover to challenge the resistance level at $0.4420 in the upcoming week. A break above this level will clear a path for SAND to rise to $0.4875 in the following couple of days.
