This passion he has, though, was born of a lifelong love of gaming and wanting to empower others. At one event, he saw a young family-parents and their two children creating games on The Sandbox. This reminded him of what he wanted as a child: to design games and let others do it easily without technological barriers. Nowadays, his dream seems to materialize with The Sandbox, where creativity thrives.

With nearly 20 years as an entrepreneur and over a decade in gaming, Borget continues to advocate for innovation and accessibility in the Web3 space. The following insights form part of The Spotlight, an Amberblocks series that dives into critical industry trends with key leaders.

Sandbox Price May Continue the Uptrend Within the Bullish Channel

The 1-hour time frame for the SAND/USD pair maintains a strong bullish trend, and the market price has reached $0.7688. The price is currently consolidating within the range of $0.76-$0.78 after its broad rally from the Major Support Zone of around $0.4095.

This consolidation depicts indecision, after which a price often has a big move. It has also been trending within a clearly defined bullish channel, with the price setting higher highs and higher lows- a true indication of continued buying pressure.

The moving averages confirm that the price is indeed in a bullish bias. The 50-period SMA is at $0.5830, while the 200-period MA is even lower at $0.4095, a price well above that. Therefore, the trend has shown short-term and long-term strength. These moving averages are also key supports on the event of a retracement.

On the MACD indicator, MACD is a little above the signal line, indicating bullish momentum, although a histogram shows weakening. Meanwhile, the RSI is reading at 62.67 and not comfortably in the overbought zone, so there could be ample space for further upside.

The immediate supports to watch would be $0.75 and $0.5830, as well as the 50 MA. Resistance is at $0.80, and the psychological $1.00. A breakthrough above the consolidation zone at $0.78 might test the resistance at $0.80 for continuation toward $1.00. Failure to hold this consolidation zone risks a pullback to the 50 MA or, worse, to the Major Support Zone around $0.4095.

In a nutshell, SAND/USD remains strongly uptrending, but the consolidation phase needs to break higher with conviction to reaffirm upside prospects. Traders should closely watch the key levels and be wary of corrections when approaching resistances.
