Whales Set Their Sights On PANDORA
The most obvious reason behind the price push recorded for PANDORA over the weekend can be traced back to significant whale activity. On-chain data tracking website Lookonchain, flagged a number of whale transactions that took place in the days leading up to the price surge. The first whale accumulation was seen on February 20, when Lookonchain reported that a single whale had spent $4.89 million to purchase 244.24 PANDORA tokens. The buying spree took place over a number of days, and by the time the whale was done, they had an average entry price of $20,044.

First Set Of Incentives Land For Holders
Another factor that has helped push the price of PANDORA over the week is incentives in the form of airdrops being announced for PANDORA holders. Monarch, a project also built on the Ethereum ERC-404 token standard, announced earlier in February that it would be awarding tokens to PANDORA investors. A total of 5% of the token supply was to be allocated as an airdrop for PANDORA holders. This incentive, coupled with the fact that PANDORA that it is gearing up to release the latest iteration of the ERC-404 token standard, created demand for the token.
PANDORA Token Performance
During the weekend, the PANDORA price went from trending around $16,000 to rising 50% in one day to clear the $24,000 level. However, this high price level could not be sustained for long as a sharp dump would follow on February 23, apparently triggered by whales dumping their holdings. for market insights, updates, and the occasional funny tweet… Featured image from Binance, chart from TradingView.com
