The immediate obstacle for bulls was around $140 (red zone), which could attract selling pressure.
In fact, the daily RSI had tagged the overbought territory, at press time, suggesting a cool-off or price rejection couldn’t be overruled near the $140.
However, based on the trend-based Fibonnaci retracement tool (yellow), QNT could rally to above $160 and tag the 2024 high if the recovery momentum extends in the next few weeks.
Apart from the RSI, AMBCrypto evaluation of QNT supply category didn’t flag warning signs, as of press time.
Although there was FOMO from first-time buyers (green), momentum buyers were neutral while conviction buyers were yet to turn into profit takers.
This meant that the recovery could extend if overall market sentiment remains positive.
On the other hand, any short-term cool-off could ease around $113-$114. About 661K QNT supply was bought at this price level and acted as the springboard for the recent surge to $130.
Besides, another crucial supply was bought at $103-$104, marking these two as key potential support zones in case of a pullback.
