Price Position and Structural State
Quant (QNT) closed at 71.41 USDT on May 29, 2026, down 0.06%. The asset now sits in a sideways structure near the bottom of its 55-day range. Current 55-day support is near 66.6 USDT, with resistance near 84.87 USDT. A daily close below 66.6 USDT would confirm a downside regime shift. A hold near support would keep price inside the range.
Moving Averages and Trend Context
QNT is trading below short-term moving averages while still holding above longer-term support. MA50 at 73.544 USDT may cap short-term recovery attempts, while MA100 at 71.158 USDT remains the more significant structural support area. The structure resembles a pullback within a broader trend more than a full trend failure.
Trading Friction and Price Efficiency
QNT shows high trading friction, with a 3-day friction score of 24.0. The score combines price progress, wick rejection, and volume confirmation. Recent candles show contested movement, with weak price progress or heavier wick rejection. In this condition, moves near support or resistance carry less weight until price closes more cleanly.
Open Interest, Funding, and Positioning
Open interest fell -8.48% in one day, showing clear position reduction. OI sits near the middle of its 60-day range, so the move reduces leverage from a normal base rather than clearing an already crowded leverage base.
Funding is negative on the 24-hour average at -0.005963%, while the 7-day average is +0.004050%. This shows fresh short-side cost pressure rather than a sustained build across the week.
The long/short ratio is 0.89, sitting near the lower side of its 60-day range at 16.11%. This means short accounts dominate, with the long/short reading near the low side of recent history.
Correlation, Beta, and Index Relationship
QNT shows a moderate relationship with the broader crypto market (Sigloid Index). Correlation indicates partial co-movement with the index, while R² suggests that index behavior explains only part of its movement. This means broader market direction has some influence, but asset-specific factors remain important. Over the 30-day window, the relationship is stable. Over the 60-day window, the relationship is stable. Over the 180-day window, the relationship is strengthening.
| Window | Correlation | Beta | R² | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30D | 0.253 | 0.431 | 0.064 | Weak linkage |
| 60D | 0.368 | 0.478 | 0.136 | Moderate linkage |
| 180D | 0.55 | 0.634 | 0.303 | Moderate linkage |
Momentum, Volatility, and Indicator Pressure
QNT is moving more day to day, but participation remains weak. ATR% reads 5.89, close to the top of its 60-day range, while Bollinger Band width% reads 15.44, near the lower side of its full historical range. 20-day Volume Z-score is -0.48.
Momentum is weaker. RSI is 43.01, ROC14 is -9.08%, and MACD histogram is negative. These readings point in the same direction: downside pressure is active, while recovery pressure remains limited.
The read is cautious: downside momentum is active, but volatility and participation do not confirm a strong break yet.
Broader Market Regime
The Sigloid Index remains in a sideways regime, showing no clear broad market direction. QNT has a moderate link to that market condition, so broader market moves can influence price behavior, but the effect is not consistent.
Key Levels for the Next State Change
For QNT, the next structural shift depends on range boundaries. A daily close above 55-day resistance at 84.87 USDT establishes a bullish regime, while a daily close below 55-day support at 66.6 USDT confirms a bearish regime.
