Quant Crypto Market Defies Broader Trends as QNT Trades Near $98
The Quant crypto market continues to defy broader trends in the cryptocurrency space. As of September 25, 2026, most cryptocurrencies are pulling back, but QNT/USDT trades near $97.84, far above every major moving average and well outside its own volatility bands.
The daily chart shows a strong trend that has gotten ahead of itself, with QNT trading at $97.84 against an EMA20 of $70.59, an EMA50 of $66.39, and an EMA200 of $68.88. The stacking is textbook bullish, but the gap between price and even the EMA20 is unusually wide for a daily chart.
The daily RSI14 sits at 81.89, deep into overbought territory, while the MACD on the daily backs up the trend story with momentum clearly still pointed up. However, this strong momentum and an overbought RSI can coexist for a while in a genuine trend move, yet the further they stretch together, the more violent the eventual mean-reversion tends to be.
