$QNT breaks above the 200 level.
Stop-loss orders often pile up around key levels, so let’s first understand how these levels work.
Even among round-number levels, the larger the number, the more people tend to watch it. For example, major levels such as 10,000 or 100,000 attract more attention than ordinary round numbers.
When prices repeatedly cross above and below a key level, both bullish and bearish traders can easily get stopped out. Keeping positions small may be a better approach until the direction becomes clear.
The point of understanding an indicator is to avoid being intimidated by a single number, not to use it to predict whether prices will rise or fall.
