$SAND is currently the weakest of the three candidates, but precisely this combination of oversold conditions and negative funding gives me a reason to go long in the short term. First, looking at relative strength: SAND fell 14.20% over 24h, significantly more than $CRV ’s 10.60% and $XRP ’s 2.41%; although the RSI of 35.5 has not reached an extreme, combined with the 25.66% amplitude across 30 candlesticks, it shows that selling pressure has been released in a concentrated manner. By comparison, $XRP ’s RSI is 47 and its MACD histogram remains positive, making it a relatively resilient asset, with funds clearly concentrating in the leading tokens—which instead means that once a high-beta asset like SAND rebounds, it will have greater elasticity. Technically: MA5 at 0.0669 is already close to the current price of 0.067, while MA20 at 0.0703 is the first resistance above; the MACD histogram at -0.0003843 shows marginal convergence in bearish momentum; the lower Bollinger Band at 0.0638 forms short-term support. The key is the funding rate of -0.0433%, meaning shorts are paying; this is the deepest negative funding rate among the three coins, providing the strongest conditions for a short squeeze. The Fear & Greed Index remains in the greed zone at 64, market sentiment has not collapsed, and the probability of an oversold rebound is relatively high. Operationally, use 0.0655–0.0670 as the entry reference (close to MA5 and the upper edge of the lower Bollinger Band), take-profit 1 at 0.0703 (MA20 resistance), take-profit 2 at 0.0768 (upper Bollinger Band), and stop-loss at 0.0635 (the structure becomes invalid if the price breaks below the lower Bollinger Band). Also monitor: $XRP is relatively strongest, while $CRV is in the middle; the three can serve as a barometer of sector sentiment.

Lookonchain reports that a mysterious whale (0xdd6a) on Aster DEX ignored the recent rebound and built an epic short portfolio with 20x leverage, shorting $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, XRP, and DOGE, with total positions reaching $26.5 million. The entire portfolio is currently profitable, with unrealized gains of $586k. Among them, the DOGE short has raked in 224k U, ETH has gained 163k U, and SOL has also brought in 141k U, while BTC and XRP contributed 5,600 U and 53k U, respectively. Personally, I believe this is far from a blind gamble, but rather a typical macro hedge and liquidity harvest. Previously, market sentiment was running high, with retail investors flooding into meme coins, while this whale used high leverage to make precise strikes in the derivatives market. This 580k U is merely an appetizer. When the whale closes its positions will become key to a market reversal. Don’t want to become a lamb led to slaughter?
