Looking at QTUM's recent performance, the momentum is like it’s on steroids. From a low of $1.381, it shot up violently to $1.571, setting a new high. Although it then pulled back slightly to $1.551, the 11.26% intraday increase is enough to show that big market players are stirring.

The 24-hour trading volume soared above 9.69 million USDT, with a trading volume of 6.469 million. Most importantly, during the rally, there was a surge in trading volume—this isn’t something retail investors can orchestrate. You can see that the main forces completed accumulation at the low levels and then started pushing the price up strongly. That previous low has now become a launchpad for the rocket.

Here’s how to operate. Don’t be tempted to chase the high with the current rally. A pullback to the $1.50-$1.53 range is a good opportunity for small positions to enter, relying on recent key support levels for more safety. For taking profits, first watch for $1.55; if it continues upward, the second target is $1.57. If it truly breaks the previous high, look towards $1.60. Set your stop-loss at $1.48—if it drops below that, this short-term rally trend is likely to end.

From a cycle perspective, it’s up 3.40% over 7 days and 7.11% over 30 days, indicating that the medium-term bullish momentum is still quite strong. Although the long-term outlook is somewhat worrying—down 22.29% over 90 days and 48.76% over a year—the short-term upward trend is the clearest right now. As long as $1.48 holds, you can confidently remain bullish. Those looking to short now should avoid jumping in at this point; being crushed by such violent upward moves is only a matter of time. Longs need patience—wait for a pullback to buy in more safely and enjoy the upcoming gains. Remember to control your position size and manage risks.
