Qualcomm Stock Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 15, 2026 Loss -3.48%

The QUALCOMM stock price gained 0.686% on the last trading day (Friday, 17th Jul 2026), rising from $170.61 to $171.78. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 4.62% from a day low at $164.77 to a day high of $172.39. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.54% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 288 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 15 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.65 billion.

The stock lies in the lower part of a very wide and weak rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $154.23 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 8.84% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $167.87 and $285.78 at the end of this 3-month period.

QCOM Signals & Forecast

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The QUALCOMM stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $180.39 and $204.11. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, May 29, 2026, and so far it has fallen -31.57%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for QUALCOMM stock

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $156.00 and $150.26. 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 finds support just below today's level at $156.00. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $150.26 and $148.85.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $7.62 between high and low, or 4.62%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.28%.

Our recommended stop-loss: We hold a negative evaluation for this stock. No stop-loss is set.

Trading Expectations (QCOM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect QUALCOMM Incorporated to open at $169.65, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $165.80 and $177.76, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$11.95 (+/-7.21%) up or down from last closing price. If QUALCOMM Incorporated takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.21% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $179.58 (4.54%) than the support at $156.00 (9.19%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is QUALCOMM Incorporated stock A Buy?

The QUALCOMM stock holds several negative signals and despite the positive trend, we believe QUALCOMM will perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. Therefore, we hold a negative evaluation of this stock.
