Qualcomm Short 61.8% Retracement, Trendline and ResistanceI really like Qualcomm short here. It's at the 61.8 on the weekly. It's also at trend line resistance as well as previous structure support. While the market was up around 1.5% today, Qualcomm barely moved only going up 0.38%. It has a history of rallying up resistance levels and then crashing down hard. For all these reasons I'm short QCOM going into next week.
Qualcomm earnings pullbacks are tradeableQualcomm (QCOM) has reported their calendar Q4 2014 quarter earnings on Jan 28, 2015. The key was a loss of a large mobile customer and 2015 guidance reduction which sent the stock down ~ 11%. This is a significant drop for a staid, blue chip tech stock like QCOM. Thus creating a high probability, tradeable pullback.
