IONQ is trading below its 200-day MA ($47.35) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 8.7 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of -25.2% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 41.7%). The current 61.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
