SNDK is around 1219 right now—this area has actually been testing for two days.

First, let’s talk about the order book. The spot “buy” side has an order stack that’s roughly about two and a half times the “sell” side. The bid-ask spread is also almost the same/tightly matched. Underneath, there’s real money propping it up—not an empty book. This is the first thing I noticed.

The futures side also looks relatively healthy. The funding rate is basically sitting near 0, which indicates leverage hasn’t really heated up and longs aren’t overcrowded. Open interest increased slightly yesterday. The aggressive buy orders account for just over half, and the market isn’t one-sided either way. In large-holder accounts, longs are around 80%—overall direction is still slightly bullish.

But here’s the problem—price is just hovering back and forth within a small range from 1214 to 1227. The whole-day trading range is only a few tenths of a percent. The volume data isn’t something I can reliably confirm, and there’s also no clear net inflow signal from big spot orders. In other words, the support is there, but I haven’t seen enough upward momentum.

To put it plainly: this is a range that’s being held up, but not yet being pushed up. Thick buy-side support, leverage not overheating, and large accounts leaning long—these don’t support me being bearish. But without volume expansion and confirmation from capital flows, I also have no reason to rush into chasing longs.

So for now, it’s wait. Watch which way price breaks—if it breaks upward and stands above 1227 with increased volume, then we can follow. If it breaks below the lower support, we should step aside first. From here, it’s better to observe than to rush to pick a side.
