QNT depreciated 38.5% after dropping from $165.1 to $105.8. But inflicted a recovery before facing a hurdle at 23.6% Fib level ($119.8). The pullback could retest the $105.8 support level if the price action fails to close above the 23.6% Fib level. 

Such a move could offer long-term bulls new buying opportunities with an entry at $105.8. The primary and secondary targets would be the Fib levels at 23.6% ($119.8) and 38.2% ($128.5).

The two possible trades could offer a risk-to-reward (RR) ratio of 1:3 and 1:4.72, respectively, if the stop loss is below $105.8.  The other significant resistance lies at 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6% Fib levels. 

Alternatively, a breach of January lows could attract aggressive selling for QNT. The selling pressure could sink QNT below $100, but the $91.8 can check the drop.  

The RSI (Relative Strength Index) recovered from the oversold territory, showing increased buying pressure. However, it had a downtick at press time, which indicate the short-term sell pressure was witnessed at the time of writing. 

On the other hand, the OBV (On Balance Volume) has dipped since February 20 and limited a strong recovery. 

Active addresses and Mean Coin Age surged
