Bias
OVERWEIGHT
Catalysts
- QCOM is in a severe corrective downtrend after a +71% rally from February to June. The speed and depth of the pullback (~26% in ~5 weeks) suggests aggressive profit-taking or a catalyst-driven sell-off.
- All short-to-medium-term momentum indicators are bearish — deeply negative MACD, falling RSI, price well below the 50-day SMA.

Risks
- Event-driven repricing risk if expectations diverge from incoming evidence.
