QNT sets the stage for a bearish pullback but here’s the catch

Quant’s QNT holders have enjoyed a smooth ride to the top in the last seven days as the rest of the market faced the heat. But what goes up must come down and QNT has already started showing retracement signs. It might even be ripe for a quick short position and here’s why.
