Since then, SNDK has risen 8%.<h2 class="st-heading-2">SNDK’s Nasdaq Inclusion: What To Expect?</h2>Inclusion in key indices, as in SanDisk's case, often triggers institutional buying. Large investors typically begin building positions as soon as the index inclusion is announced. The bulk of buying, however, tends to occur on the effective date of inclusion – often during the final minutes of trading – when passive index funds and ETFs execute trades in the closing auction to align with the benchmark, leading to a surge in volume and potential volatility.SanDisk peers Western Digital, Seagate, and Micron have also posted sharp gains in recent months, while Roundhill recently launched a sector-focused fund – the Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) – to capitalize on the surging interest in the space.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Retail's View On SNDK</h2>On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment for SNDK has remained ‘extremely bullish’ since the start of last week.

This comes after Iran declined to join another round of peace talks in Pakistan planned by the U.S.Trump also threatened to blow up all power plants and bridges in Iran if the country didn’t agree to a deal, as the ceasefire between the two countries expires this week.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/mrvl-stock-bucks-war-linked-market-selloff-surges-6-premarket-on-google-chip-deal-report/cZBdd7WRIyF">MRVL Stock Bucks War-Linked Market Selloff, Surges 6% Premarket On Google Chip Deal Report</a>&nbsp;

They had a breakout profitable quarter and amazing guidance. But I want see them repeat it a second time before buying in now at this level. Just one more to confirm.”Meanwhile, several traders were eying short positions on SNDK. $SNDK short short! going to be back $700 next week,”&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/StonksDiamondHands/message/649958713">said</a> one, while another&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/StonksDiamondHands/message/649992817">posted</a>, “$SNDK shorting it!
