$QNT rose more than 20% while $BTC was nearly flat — but this isn’t a simple short squeeze.
Binance USDⓈ-M Futures | 26/10/2026, 19:38 GMT+7
QNT: 220.7 | 24h +20.45%
BTC: 80,426 | 24h +0.04%
What the data shows:
• OI rose from 137.6K to 149.3K QNT in 4 hours, up about 8.5%, while price climbed from around 194.8 to above 220.
• Funding remains negative at -0.00389% despite the sharp price rise: the derivatives market hasn’t fully tilted toward Longs.
• 56.6% of accounts are Long; the latest hourly taker buy/sell ratio is 1.079, with aggressive buying only slightly outweighing selling.
• The partnership between Quant and The Clearing House was officially announced in September, not today. Don’t use old news as a definitive explanation for every new price move.
Levels to watch:
• 1h close above 223.96: confirms continued momentum.
• Hold 213.27: the short-term bullish structure remains intact.
• 1h close below 208.05: momentum is weakening; below 198.29 raises the risk of a failed breakout.
