As per the analysts, the top addresses also known as whales have started to accumulate Quant near the lows. Whales are the players with more capital and more resources, hence they tend to be on the right side of the trend for the most of the time.

As on 1st September 2024, the whales were holding nearly 24.08% of the total supply which has increased to 24.58% as of now. The whales have accumulated nearly 0.5% i.e. 74.4K QNT tokens in a week.

A bullish divergence indicates the buyers comeback at the lower levels which could trigger a recovery in the crypto.
Is Quant Preparing For A Bull Run In September?
From the daily chart it is evident that QNT has been suffering a correction phase since March with sellers leading the trend. However, the scenario may flip as the buyers as well as the large players seemed to be accumulating in the recent sessions.

Looking precisely over the price pattern, a consolidation may be observed in the last couple of weeks with bulls leading close to $50 level whereas the bears have established themselves near the $70 level.

A strong buying in the last couple of sessions highlights the buyers intention for a breakout. Now, a sustained breakout above the $70 level may validate a bullish reversal in the short term creating a potential run towards the 200 day EMA.

The long term view may shift to bullish if the price conquers 200 day EMA and sustains above it. However, it requires more buying volume to break the recent supply of $84 level at 200 day EMA.

Also, the buyer's failure to make a reversal may invite sellers at the higher levels and the price may head towards the August lows. The technical indicators suggest a bullish continuation in the short term.
