Quant (QNT) reached the $80.42 level with a strong 7.49% rise in the last 24 hours, reinforcing daily uptrend signals. This move indicates that the price settling above the short-term EMA20 could position it as one of the leaders in the altcoin rally despite overall market uncertainty.
Market Overview and Current Status
QNT is trading at $80.42 as of January 28, 2026, and showed a 7.49% rise in the $73.06-$82.77 range over the last 24 hours. Volume reached $17.47 million, indicating solid buying interest behind the move. The overall trend is classified as uptrend, but multi-timeframe (MTF) analysis detected a total of 13 strong levels on 1D, 3D, and 1W charts: 3 support/3 resistance on 1D, 1 each on 3D, and 4 each support/resistance confluence on 1W. This confluence predicts that the price will test critical thresholds.
Despite a slight pullback in Bitcoin across the market, QNT's independent rally stands out. Short-term momentum has settled above EMA20 ($78.28), giving a bullish short-term signal. However, the Supertrend indicator remaining bearish ($97.38 resistance) requires caution on broader timeframes. The lack of recent striking news flow for QNT emphasizes that technical factors are in the foreground. Investors can access detailed data from the QNT Spot Analysis page.
QNT's performance stands out among signs of an altcoin season; the price appears to have transitioned from an accumulation phase to a breakout stage in recent weeks. The increase in volume suggests institutional interest or speculative buying may be at play, though the overall crypto market's volatility heightens risks.
Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch
Support Zones
The strongest support level stands out at $79.8038 (score: 67/100); this is a confluence zone near recent lows on the daily chart and only 0.8% below the current price. If this level breaks, the next critical support at $75.9632 (score: 64/100) comes into play, overlapping with the 1W timeframe pivot point. In a deeper pullback, $71.8402 (score: 65/100) will serve as a buffer testing monthly lows. These supports are backed by strong volume profiles in MTF analysis and are ideal monitoring points for potential bottoms.
Resistance Barriers
The most critical short-term resistance is at $82.7703 (score: 86/100); the intraday high formed right here and needs to be tested for breakout. If this level is surpassed, $88.3000 (score: 83/100) becomes the next target, a strong supply zone on the 3D chart. Long-term resistance is at $95.5700 (score: 65/100), reinforced by the Supertrend's $97.38 line. The strength of these barriers aligns with Fibonacci extension levels; a successful breakout could create leveraged opportunities on QNT Futures Analysis platforms.
Momentum Indicators and Trend Strength
RSI (14) is balanced at 54.65 in a neutral-bullish zone; there's no overbought risk while carrying upward momentum potential. The MACD histogram is positive and maintaining a bullish crossover, with the expanding gap above the signal line confirming trend strength. Short-term EMAs (especially EMA20: $78.28) provide support below the price, while the structure approaching EMA50 shows a healthy uptrend. However, the Supertrend's bearish signal reminds us of potential selling pressure on higher timeframes (1W).
MTF momentum shows 1D bullish, 3D neutral, and 1W slightly bearish divergence; this signals that the short-term rally could expand but requires additional volume for long-term confirmation. The Stochastic oscillator is also turning around 60%, sustaining buyer dominance. Overall trend strength is moderate at 25 on the ADX indicator; sudden news could accelerate momentum.
Risk Assessment and Trading Outlook
In the bullish scenario, breaking the $82.77 resistance targets $88.30 first, then extends to $95.57; the ultimate upside target of $133.8501 (score: 4) offers 66% return potential from current levels. On the bearish side, losing the $79.80 support could bring a quick correction to $71.84, and in the worst case, $46.5250 (score: 21) could be tested – a 42% loss risk. The risk/reward ratio looks advantageous around 1:3 for bullish targets, but volatility is high.
The trading outlook is bullish short-term; stop-losses should be placed below supports, take-profits at resistances. There's a risk of market makers hunting liquidity, especially during low-volume hours. A balanced approach suggests combining long positions from support levels with shorts on resistance rejections – of course, according to your own risk management. The overall outlook conditions uptrend continuation on a close above $82.77.
Bitcoin Correlation
Bitcoin shows a slight 0.77% rise at $89,276 but remains in a general downtrend; the Supertrend bearish signal is a warning for altcoins. QNT's outperformance against BTC (beta >1) signals decoupling, but BTC's key supports at $88,311, $85,995, and $84,681 will be tested. A break of these levels could create chain reaction selling pressure on QNT and interrupt the uptrend.
BTC resistances are at $89,381, $91,335, and $94,255; if BTC surpasses these barriers, the altcoin rally accelerates and QNT easily reaches the $88-95 band. With the rising dominance trend, QNT investors should closely monitor BTC movements – if the downtrend deepens, the chance of an additional 10-20% correction in altcoins increases.
