based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs.
the S&P 500. Our current read: Bearish.
🔴
Bearish
Positives: 3-month momentum positive (+12.2%). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-1.83% over 10 days); RSI 30 — oversold. Currently 35.8% off its 52-week high. Score: -4/7.
QCOM is trading below its 200-day MA ($169.14) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 30.0 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of +5.1% compares to +16.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 11.3%). The current 35.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
