D-Wave Quantum Inc. stock downgraded from Hold/Accumulate to Sell Candidate after Friday trading session

The D-Wave Quantum Inc. stock price fell by -2.00% on the last day (Friday, 14th Feb 2025) from $6.50 to $6.37. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 7.51% from a day low at $6.33 to a day high of $6.80. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a 7.24% gain for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the stock, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the stock. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -17 million shares and in total, 51 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $325.53 million.

On Jan 14, 2025, it was reported that B. Riley gave QBTS a "Buy" grade with a "hold" action.

The stock lies in the lower part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $5.08 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift.Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 45.55% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $7.40 and $17.30 at the end of this 3-month period.

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The D-Wave Quantum Inc. stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $6.69. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $5.98. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, January 06, 2025, and so far it has fallen -37.61%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. finds support from accumulated volume at $6.10 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $0.475 between high and low, or 7.51%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 10.41%.

D-Wave Quantum Inc. holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, hold a negative evaluation of this stock.Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Hold/Accumulate to a Sell candidate.
