QNT Technical Analysis February 18, 2026: RSI MACD Momentum

QNT shows bullish momentum with the positive course of the MACD histogram, RSI is balancing in the neutral zone, and the general downtrend creates pressure under the short-term EMA; volume confirmation remains weak.

Trend Status and Momentum Analysis

QNT is trading at the 69.75 dollar level as of February 18, 2026, recording a 3.66% rise in the last 24 hours and moving in the 67.23-70.97 dollar range. Although the overall trend is downward, momentum indicators are giving mixed signals. Daily volume is hovering around 6.75 million dollars, which is a modest level compared to recent averages and insufficient to confirm the strength of the momentum. The Supertrend indicator remains bearish and points to the 84.71 dollar resistance. Staying below EMA20 (70.20 dollars) in the short-term trend indicates weakness in price, but the positive histogram in MACD may signal a potential momentum surge. When examining multi-timeframe (MTF) alignment, a total of 13 strong levels were identified across 1D/3D/1W timeframes: 1 support/4 resistances in 1D, 2 supports/3 resistances in 3D, and 4 supports/2 resistances in 1W, weighted accordingly. This structure emphasizes that resistances dominate for upward movement and supports could be tested in a downturn. Main support is at 66.49 dollars (strength score 77/100), resistances stand out at 70.85 dollars (84/100), 74.57 dollars (78/100), and 87.43 dollars (71/100). Bull target is 108.37 dollars (score 28), bear target is 38.70 dollars (score 22), reflecting low-probability scenarios.

RSI Indicator: Buy or Sell?

RSI Divergence Analysis

RSI(14) is currently positioned at 48.17 in the neutral zone, giving neither overbought nor oversold signals. While price rose in the last 24 hours, the slight decline in RSI does not indicate regular bearish divergence; on the contrary, the recovery tendency from lower levels suggests hidden bullish divergence. On the daily chart, price bouncing from the 67.23 dollar low with RSI rising from the low 40s to 48 shows that momentum is turning positive, albeit weakly. Weekly RSI is balancing around 52, moving away from oversold conditions despite the overall downtrend. The absence of divergence indicates that RSI continues its trend-following role and no sudden breakout is expected; however, crossing above 50 could strengthen bullish momentum.

Overbought/Oversold Zones

RSI is comfortably positioned between the oversold threshold below 30 and overbought above 70. The current 48.17 value reflects neutral momentum, and even at the 70.97 peak, not exceeding 55 reveals the limited strength of buyers. On the 4-hour chart, RSI oscillating in the 45-50 band gives a short-term consolidation signal. If accompanied by volume increase, a rise toward 60 could amplify buying pressure; conversely, a drop below 40 in a downturn could trigger selling momentum.

MACD Signals and Histogram Dynamics

MACD is giving the most notable bullish signal: The histogram is expanding in the positive zone and remains above the signal line. The MACD line (0.45) has crossed above the signal line (0.32), confirming a bullish crossover. This could herald a momentum shift for QNT in the downtrend. The growing histogram bars indicate accelerating buyer activity, but caution is required due to the overall downtrend. On the daily chart, MACD approaching the zero line brings a potential crossover above zero into focus. On the 4-hour chart, the histogram turning green solidifies positive momentum, but low volume confirmation carries false breakout risk. In a bearish scenario, the histogram approaching zero and turning negative could accelerate sales.

EMA Systems and Trend Strength

Short-Term EMAs

Price is trading below EMA20 (70.20 dollars), which gives a short-term bearish signal. The narrowing between EMA10 and EMA20 shows weak trend strength; ribbon dynamics are in squeeze mode. Price breaking above EMA20 (overlapping with 70.85 resistance) could trigger the momentum ribbon to open and initiate a bullish trend.

Medium/Long-Term EMA Supports

The long-term downtrend dominates above EMA50 (72.50 dollars) and EMA200 (78.90 dollars). In the EMA ribbon, medium-term lines (EMA50-100) are downward-sloping and price is distant from them; this confirms trend strength in favor of bears. The 66.49 support level is converging toward EMA100, and a bounce from there could turn EMA ribbon dynamics positive. Overall, EMA systems indicate that momentum is preparing for short-term recovery but remains resistant in the long term.

Bitcoin Correlation

Bitcoin is at the 67,198 dollar level and has only risen 0.09% in the last 24 hours, with the downtrend continuing. BTC Supertrend is bearish, main supports at 65,050, 61,088, and 47,080 dollars; resistances at 68,118, 71,209, and 78,145 dollars. QNT shows high correlation with BTC (around 0.85%); a BTC break below 65k could push QNT to the 66.49 support. Conversely, if BTC breaks above 68k resistance, it would trigger bullish momentum for QNT Spot Analysis and QNT Futures Analysis. Rising BTC dominance creates pressure on altcoins, limiting QNT's independent movement room.

Momentum Outcome and Expectations

Momentum analysis offers positive elements with MACD's bullish histogram and RSI's neutral recovery, but the downtrend dominates with positioning below EMA, low volume, and Supertrend bearish signal. In the short term, breaking 70.85 resistance could lead to 74.57; otherwise, 66.49 support will be tested. With MTF confluence resistance-weighted, volume increase is essential for bulls. Overall outlook is shifting from neutral to slightly bullish, but BTC downtrend is a risk factor. If MACD leadership in momentum oscillator confluence makes RSI follow, a trend change is on the horizon; volume confirmation is awaited. Investors should monitor movements in the 66-71 band and be prepared for sudden breakouts.
