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.

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