QUALCOMM with bullish Flag Qualcomm is caught in its longtermdowntrend. Now the stock has reached an important resistance Level at round about 53$. Here is based the midterm downtrends upper edge and the important SMA 200.
In march, Qualcomm tried to beat this Level - a consolidation followed and stopped near the fibo 38,2.
From then on, a bullish flag appeared.
Now 2 different Szenarios can be traded:
- Short again, hoping that the resistance would hold again. With this opinion, an entry at the actual Level could be intzeresting. Stopp should be installed a tick above the sma 200. The TPs of this short coan be: 49,7 (flags bottom edge) / 49 (38,2 fibo) / 47,75 (0,5 fibo) / 44,4 longterm uptrends bottom edge) / 42,2 (last significant low) / 36 (worst case - midterm downtrends bottom edge)
- Breakout Chance : Long entry above the sma 200 with TP 58/59$.
i have illustrated the different views in the chart
4QCOM trade ideas
QCOM has a bearish chart in near term. A candidate to short .QCOM could not break the downtrend at 53.59 and started moving down . It tried to pull from 50.78 but again was a lower high and fell below 50.66 on 3/24. This is an indication that the downtrend is here to stay for a while and can be short.
The weekly chart shows confims downtrend and also in overbought zone for now.
If it closes below 50.18, it is likely to touch 48.18 before it pulls back. if it does not sustain that it can fall to 47.43
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.
Bottom is not far nowLast time we noted that it will hit $50 within 6 months and it indeed hit now. Price testing 2010/2009 resistance which now turned to be a strong support and it should hold at least for now before it extends next leg down with target price $60 entry at $48 area.

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.
