Two leading metaverse-related tokens posted sharp intraday breakouts on October 7, 2026, even as the broader cryptocurrency market showed mixed signals. SAND, the native token of The Sandbox, climbed 10.45% in a single hour, rising from $0.07352 to $0.0812. Trading volume reached approximately $27.09 million, and the token recorded a 24-hour gain of 22.90%, with a daily range of $0.0696 to $0.0812.
MANA, the token powering Decentraland, followed with its own rapid advance, jumping 10.24% in 60 minutes from $0.0996 to $0.1098. Its 24-hour trading volume was about $3.78 million, with a 24-hour price change of 6.91% and an intraday range of $0.0969 to $0.1098.
No single confirmed catalyst was responsible for the moves, but traders pointed to renewed interest in metaverse, gaming and NFT-linked digital assets. The Sandbox’s established position in virtual worlds and Decentraland’s active community may have attracted speculative demand amid shifting sentiment in the altcoin sector.
Key levels are now in focus. For SAND, traders are watching resistance near $0.085 and support near $0.075. For MANA, resistance sits around $0.1130 and support near $0.1020. A breakout above resistance could extend momentum, while losing support might trigger caution.
