Since 2021, Quant has shown a capitulation day 7 times. In the 7 cases old enough to score, the price was higher 7 days later 71% of the time, with a median move of +13.9%. On an ordinary day the median 7-day move for QNT is −1.3%.

Too few cases

With 7 completed cases there is not enough history to judge this one.

“Ordinary median” is the median move of QNT over the same number of days starting from any day. “Gap” is the signal's median minus the ordinary one. “By luck” is how often a gap at least that large comes from randomly chosen days, corrected for the 3,572 studies run at each holding period (for this study taken alone: 0.3%).

The rule

Daily close at least 7% below the previous close on volume at least 2.5× the previous 30-day average. A steep fall on very heavy volume is the textbook picture of capitulation, when the last holders give up.

Occurrences closer than 7 days to the previous one are not counted again. The signal is confirmed at the daily close (00:00 UTC) and returns are measured from that close. Full method.
