SAND price set for a corrective pullback!
On the daily chart, the SANDBOX (SAND) price has rallied more than 40% in the previous five sessions. The price rose from the lows made in January at $2.56. After last month’s bloodbath, the price hit the highs on February 7 after that altcoin has been consolidated near the same level.
SAND has been moving in a downside channel since December 26 with the classic lower high lower low formation. Bulls have taken control from the lows of $2.56, a resurgence of buyers around this level seems reasonable.
The price has crossed above the 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) but faces a double hurdle at the 50-day SMA and the bearish slopping line. A spike in descent price movement could trigger a fresh round of selling toward the lower trend line of the channel.
The immediate support is placed at a $2.50 horizontal support level, which also forms the double support formation.
On the other hand, a bullish breakout of the downside channel could push investors to take out the psychological $6.0 level.
