The surge in SAND’s transaction count shows that investors are bullish on the asset’s recent surge thereby signaling higher demand and participation. Furthermore, there’s also a surge in the exchange withdrawal transactions that hints at a bullish momentum ahead. It shows that long-term investors are moving SAND off the exchanges hinting at increased confidence in the asset.

On the technical chart, SAND price has given a breakout from the downward-trending pattern eyeing the next target of $1.40. Thus, investors are eyeing for another 75-80% rally ahead.
