QUALCOMM Incorporated Stock Forecast

QUALCOMM Incorporated stock downgraded to Hold/Accumulate
(Updated on May 15, 2024)

QCI.F Signals & Forecast

The QUALCOMM Incorporated stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at 170.96€ and 160.35€. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, April 22, 2024, and so far it has risen 19.79%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). QUALCOMM Incorporated has increased volume and follows the last lift in the price. This is considered to be a technical positive sign as volume should follow the price-formation. Higher liquidity also reduces the general risk. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, June 30, 2023 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for QUALCOMM Incorporated stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at 168.58€ and 154.82€. There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, QUALCOMM Incorporated finds support just below today's level at 168.58€. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at 154.82€ and 144.14€.

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 4.54€ between high and low, or 2.61%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 1.93%.

The QUALCOMM Incorporated stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (81). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the stock has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the stock will find support at the trend broken.

Our recommended stop-loss: 171.43€ (-3.80%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 81 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 16 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (QCI.F) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 16th

For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 16th we expect QUALCOMM Incorporated to open at 176.91€, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 174.36€ and 182.04€, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-3.84€ (+/-2.16%) up or down from last closing price. If QUALCOMM Incorporated takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 4.31% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

With no resistance above and support from accumulated volume @ 168.58€, some 9.62€ (5.40%) from the current price of 178.20€, our system finds the risk reward attractive.

Is QUALCOMM Incorporated stock A Buy?

QUALCOMM Incorporated holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.

Current score: 0.000 Hold/Accumulate Downgraded

Zero in score indicates that our system is expecting high volatility and risk for the following trading day. Given the latest developments, we cannot determine the next direction as it may go both ways.
