Catalysts
- QCOM's H1 2026 was a story of two halves: a powerful 4-month bull run (+75%) followed by a violent 1-month correction (-26%). The net YTD gain is still positive (~+8% from Jan 2 open of $172 to June 30 close of $185).
- Short-term momentum is firmly bearish. RSI at 40 and a deep negative MACD (-5.24 and falling) suggest selling pressure has not yet exhausted.
- The stock sits in a "no-man's land" between its key moving averages — below the rising 50-day SMA ($201) but above the rising 200-day SMA ($167). This creates a resistance ceiling overhead and a support floor below, suggesting the next major move depends on which level breaks first.
Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
