Qualcomm Stock Forecast

Hold candidate since Jul 14, 2026

The QUALCOMM stock price fell by -3.20% on the last day (Tuesday, 14th Jul 2026) from $183.98 to $178.10. It has now fallen 3 days in a row. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 7.04% from a day low at $177.49 to a day high of $189.99. The price has fallen in 7 of the last 10 days and is down by -5.63% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 56 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 13 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.32 billion.

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 $174.89 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 19.92% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $209.72 and $327.80 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). 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 $185.48 and $209.82. 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 -29.05%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

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 $12.50 between high and low, or 7.04%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 4.23%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $168.59 (-5.34%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 30 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (QCOM) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Wednesday 15th

For the upcoming trading day on Wednesday, 15th we expect QUALCOMM Incorporated to open at $181.86, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $171.61 and $184.59, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$12.98 (+/-7.57%) up or down from last closing price. If QUALCOMM Incorporated takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 7.57% 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 (0.83%) than the support at $156.00 (12.41%), 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?

QUALCOMM holds several negative signals and this should be a sell candidate, but due to the general chance for a turnaround situation it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development. We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Sell to a Hold candidate.

Current score: -0.558 Hold/Accumulate Upgraded
