What went wrong with The Sandbox?
AMBCrypto had before reported that SAND had no major resistance zones in prospect, but the unpredictability of the crypto space had other plans.
Therefore, we looked at The Sandbox liquidation levels to see when the token witnessed high sell-offs.
According to AMBCrypto’s analysis via Hyblock, the liquidation rose sharply around $0.64, after which the token’s price fell and moved sideways. Investors should therefore keep an eye on this level.

Although the whales showed confidence in it SANDthe market as a whole did not share a similar sentiment. The supply of SAND on the exchanges increased sharply, while the supply outside the exchanges plummeted.
This meant that selling pressure on SAND was significantly high at the time of the report.
Realistic or not, here it is SAND market cap in terms of BTC
To better understand what to expect from SAND, AMBCrypto checked the daily chart. We found that both the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) registered a decline at the time of writing.
These statistics showed an increased likelihood of a continued downward trend. However, the MACD remained in favor of buyers as it showed a bullish crossover during this period.
