Here’s AMBCrypto’s price prediction for Quant [QNT] for 2023-24

Should the recent reversal rally rebound from its immediate support, QNT could see a near-term bullish revival. At press time, QNT was trading at $165.9.

Since mid-June, QNT’s revival from the $44 baseline defied the broader selling inclinations of the market as the altcoin consistently grew. In the meantime, it chalked out a five-month trendline resistance (white, dashed).

After facing bottlenecks near the 200 EMA (green), QNT bulls pulled off a rally beyond its high liquidity range to find fresher highs. The latest reversal from the trendline resistance confirmed a bullish pennant-like structure on the daily charts.

A plausible rebound from the $162-mark could open a pathway for a patterned breakout. Any convincing close above the 20 EMA can offer good buying opportunities.

In this case, the buyers must look for a potential retest of the $190-$200 range before a likely revival. An immediate decline below the $162-support and the 50 EMA could invalidate the bullish tendencies.

The Relative Strength Index’s (RSI) decline from the overbought levels rested near the midline to depict a neutral position. Any revival from this level could aid the bullish endeavors in the coming sessions. Nonetheless, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) was yet to find a spot above the zero mark to affirm a bullish advantage.

A decline in Social Dominance and Network Growth

An analysis of data from Santiment revealed a robust spike in QNT’s social dominance and network growth from mid-September to mid-October. However, over the last few days, QNT saw a substantial plunge in both of the above metrics. 

While the price action seemed sensitive to them, the price did not decline as much. The buyers should keep a close watch on these metrics to gauge the underlying sentiment toward the crypto. Finally, keeping a watch on the king coin’s movement could help make a profitable bet.
