Quant price poised for a short-term sell-off amid potential early-holder selling spree

  • A Quant early holder deposited 118,088 QNT tokens worth $9.78 million into the Kraken exchange.
  • On-chain data suggest QNT’s dormant wallets are on the move.
  • QNT supply on exchange is increasing, suggesting a potential local price top.

Quant (QNT) price could have a short-term downward pressure. Data from Lookonchain suggests that an early holder has deposited 118,008 QNT tokens worth $9.78 million into the Kraken exchange.

This wallet had previously sold 8,050 QNT tokens worth $742,000 at $92 on Uniswap decentralized exchange in the past month, after which the price had crashed by roughly 11%.

Additionally, this event could influence a selling spree or it could be a catalyst that kickstarts a correction amid bearish market conditions.

Santiment’s Age Consumed index adds further credence to the bearish outlook. The spikes in this index suggest dormant tokens (tokens stored in wallets for a long time) are in motion and can be used to spot short-term local tops or bottoms.

For QNT, history shows that the spikes were followed by a crash in Quant price. The most recent uptick on June 17 also forecasted that QNT is ready for a downtrend.

Santiment's data on Supply on Exchange illustrates the total amount of QNT held across centralized exchanges (CEX), decentralized exchanges (DEX), and outside exchanges. An increase in this index suggests potential sell-offs or the formation of local price tops, while a decrease indicates whale accumulation or local price bottoms.

In QNT’s case, the Supply on Exchange increased from 1.56 million on June 16 to 1.68 million on June 17. This 7.6% increase in supply suggests that investors are sending their holdings into the exchanges to book profits, which could lead to the formation of local price tops or potential sell-offs.
