How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for QNT, measured when this story was written up on 29 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows QNT trading at $230.71 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 60.5% and a 4-hour ratio of 57.3%, both significantly higher than the 50.7% ratio over the last 24 hours. This indicates that buying pressure is building in the short term compared to the daily average. The volume delta reflects this strength, with +$2,474,883 in the last hour and +$4,867,537 over four hours. Volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume, showing that buyers are currently outpacing sellers. Over the past 24 hours, the cumulative volume delta closed at +$7,968,006, confirming sustained net buying.

Today's 24-hour buy ratio of 50.7% is slightly below this weekly average, indicating a normalization of buying intensity.
