$SAND : Shorts Getting Squeezed as Funding Hits -0.49% — Bullish Structure Points Higher

$SAND is showing a strong bullish setup, with the 1H, daily, weekly, and BTC trends all aligned to the upside. Price is also holding above both the EMA20 and EMA200, keeping the broader structure firmly bullish.

The standout signal is the extreme negative funding at -0.4916%, indicating heavily crowded short positioning while price continues consolidating above key breakout levels. If buyers maintain control, trapped shorts could become fuel for another upside move.

The key area to watch is the $0.0700–$0.0720 demand/FVG zone. Rather than chasing the current move, I want to see a liquidity sweep or retest followed by confirmation on the 5M/15M timeframe.

Trade setup:
Entry: $0.0700–$0.0720
Confirmation: Bullish engulfing, strong rejection wick, or bullish market structure shift
TP1: $0.07555
TP2: $0.08391
TP3: $0.08608
Extended target: $0.11364
Invalidation: 1H close below $0.05852

Flow remains interesting: OI is up 11.0% to $30.6M, funding is deeply negative at -0.4916%, while taker flow is around 0.95x.

As long as $SAND holds its bullish structure, the setup favors a potential short squeeze toward higher liquidity levels. The key is confirmation at demand, not chasing the breakout.
