$QNT from 374.5 to 250.69, still up +36.87% after 24h; yet in this one hour it reversed and pulled up +5.31%—the position value only increased 5.25% to 41.588 million. The active buy/sell ratio is 1.074, but within 15 minutes it has already dropped to 0.968—those chasing it are getting fewer!

Funding rate is -0.0185%: shorts are paying longs. Trading volume is only 0.75x the 24h hourly average—this bounce has no volume. The counterparty of a “deleveraging-style sharp pull” is relatively bearish. The read is: short covering is the main driver, and new longs are hesitant to step in. Invalidation condition: if it can’t hold steady above 238.05 (from 1 hour ago) or if the buy/sell ratio falls below 1, the bounce thesis is void.
