Further Bearish Movement

Qualcomm stock is currently experiencing a strongly bearish trend. Its share price of $166.94 remains below its 5, 20, and 50-day exponential moving averages. This indicates ongoing selling pressure and the potential for further bearish movement.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator reads -8.45, reinforcing the bearish sentiment.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 30.81 indicates that Qualcomm is oversold, suggesting that selling pressure may soon diminish.

Additionally, the Bollinger Bands range from $168.89 to $219.27, and the stock trades in the lower band – further supporting a bearish outlook.

Despite the long-term bullish signal, the overall technical indicators point to a bearish trend with potential risks.
