2025-12-09 CASH
Summary: QCOM's current uptrend offers long potential, but overbought indicators like STO at 92 and price near recent highs without a dip suggest waiting for better entry to avoid chasing and repeating past losses from buying at peaks. However, the lack of a recent pullback means this isn't an ideal dip buy, and with STO_K at 92.29 indicating overbought conditions, there's risk of a near-term correction similar to past setups where buying near highs led to quick reversals, like the November 2025 trades that resulted in losses after sharp drops below MAs....
2025-12-05 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend remains unclear with EMA and SMA tightly rangebound, recently crossing, and moving sideways over the past month, advising against new entries despite the recent price recovery to 175.36. Price is above both averages, but without both moving clearly upward and no volume capitulation in the past two months, this doesn't qualify as a confirmed uptrend for a long entry. RSI at 57.66 is neutral, STO K/D at 83.22/64.05 shows momentum but not extreme, and MACD (0.50/-0.46) is weakly positive yet not compelling for a high-conviction setup. Support levels at 162.06 (recent), 153.05, and 144.6 provide downside buffers, but resistance from a falling trendline around 203 is distant, and the stock is near the top of its recent range (165-175), making a long entry risky without better confirmation....
2025-12-04 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend is unclear with EMA slightly below SMA, both nearly flat and tightly bound, price above but in a sideways churn without clear direction, echoing past whipsaw patterns that led to losses like the November 2025 trades....
2025-12-03 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend is unclear with EMA slightly below SMA, both flat and tightly bound over the past month without clear upward direction or volume capitulation, making new entries inadvisable despite the recent price uptick to 174.36. Price has frequently crossed these averages recently, further confirming the unclear trend, and there's no recent volume capitulation to signal a potential reversal for a contrarian entry. Technical indicators are mixed: RSI at 56.8 suggests neutral momentum, MACD at -0.47 (above signal at -0.90) hints at potential bullish crossover but remains negative overall, STO K at 64 with D at 44 shows building momentum but not overbought, and Bollinger Bands are widening slightly with price near the upper band, implying possible volatility but no strong breakout. Support levels are at 162.06 (recent), 153.05, and 144.6, while a falling resistance trendline from mid-2024 sits far above at around 204, suggesting the stock is in a broad descending channel without immediate overhead pressure but also lacking upward conviction....
2025-12-02 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend remains unclear with EMA below SMA, tightly bound moving averages, and multiple price crossings in the past month, lacking a high-confidence setup for entry despite the recent bounce from November lows....
2025-12-01 CASH
Summary: QCOM's chart shows an unclear trend with EMA slightly below SMA, both moving sideways in a tight range after a recent crossing, and price churning below both without clear direction or volume capitulation, making new entries inadvisable while fundamentals like AI demand remain supportive but secondary to weak technicals. typical daily ranges of 3-5 points)....
2025-11-28 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend is unclear with EMA slightly below sideways SMA, price below both amid frequent crossings and tight ranging without clear direction, warranting staying in cash to avoid low-confidence entries after recent volatility and prior losing trades. Support at 153.05 (recently tested) and 144.6 could hold, but resistance near 169-170 (recent MAs) caps upside without momentum breakout, echoing past whipsaws like the November 2025 post-earnings decline and recovery that led to quick losses on re-entries....
2025-11-26 CASH
Summary: QCOM's technicals show an unclear trend with price below closely intertwined EMA and SMA that are moving sideways without a clear direction, advising against new entries while recent volatility and lack of volume capitulation reinforce staying in cash for a better setup....
2025-11-25 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend is unclear with EMA slightly below SMA but both tightly rangebound and not clearly moving downward, price below both without volume capitulation, avoiding new entries while in cash after recent losses from post-earnings volatility....
2025-11-24 CASH
Summary: Trend is unclear with price below closely ranged EMA and SMA that are not decisively trending, recent history of whipsaws and losses on longs, no high-confidence setup for entry. Support levels at 153.05 and 144.60 have held in the past, but current price action is rangebound without a breakout, echoing prior periods of sideways churning that led to whipsaw trades like the quick November re-entry and exit losses....
2025-11-21 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend remains unclear with price below tightly ranged EMA and SMA that aren't decisively moving up or down, recent sharp drops without volume capitulation echo past losing trades, prompting staying in cash to avoid whipsaw until a high-confidence setup emerges....
2025-11-20 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend is unclear with price below both EMA and SMA despite EMA slightly above SMA, no volume capitulation, recent post-earnings drop echoing prior losing long trades, and lack of high-confidence setup for entry, warranting cash position until clearer direction emerges....
2025-11-19 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend remains unclear with price below both EMA and SMA despite EMA above SMA, echoing recent post-earnings drops and losing trades that warrant caution until a clearer uptrend or downtrend emerges with better risk/reward....
2025-11-18 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend is unclear with EMA slightly above SMA but price below both after a sharp post-earnings drop without capitulation, echoing prior losing trades, so stay in cash to avoid whipsaw and wait for a clearer high-confidence setup....
2025-11-17 SOLD
Summary: QCOM's recent sharp drop below both EMA and SMA on the daily chart invalidates the uptrend thesis from the long entry at $173.98, echoing prior losing trades like the post-earnings declines in July and November 2025, prompting an exit near the 166 level to preserve capital while above key support at 153....

2025-11-10 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend is unclear with price crossing the EMAs twice in the past month without volume capitulation, recent post-earnings volatility echoes prior losing trades, and no compelling new catalysts justify re-entry so soon after the 11/7/2025 exit at a similar price level....
2025-11-07 SOLD
Summary: QCOM's continued post-earnings decline below the entry price and EMA, with weakening MACD and no volume capitulation, invalidates the uptrend thesis and echoes prior losing trades like the July 2025 post-earnings exit, prompting an exit to preserve capital while targeting resistance near 183-187 remains unachieved....

Summary: QCOM shows a clear uptrend with price above rising EMA and SMA, no frequent MA crossings, and a post-earnings dip from 179.72 to 173.83 providing a high-confidence long entry targeting resistance near 183-187, supported by bullish MACD crossover and positive semiconductor sector momentum from AI demand....
2025-11-05 CASH

Summary: QCOM is in a strong uptrend with price above rising EMA and SMA, but upcoming earnings on 11/5/2025 prevent entry due to policy against holding through catalysts and minimum 10-14 day hold requirement, so remain in cash for better post-earnings setup....

2025-10-16 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend is mixed with price slightly below EMA despite EMA above SMA, recent bearish MACD crossover, no volume capitulation, and recovery from sharp drop lacks conviction for new entry after recent exit at lower price, favoring cash to await clearer uptrend or high-confidence setup. RSI at 48.88 is neutral, Slow STO at 48.44/38.71 shows some upward momentum but not overbought, and no flagged volume capitulation means we can't justify a long in what isn't a confirmed downtrend reversal. For shorts, conditions aren't met since EMA exceeds SMA, and entry above EMA is prohibited anyway....

Summary: Hold the existing long in QCOM as the uptrend persists with price above rising EMA and SMA, positive MACD momentum despite a minor bearish crossover, support at $153 holding firm, and bullish semiconductor sector tailwinds from AI demand. Technical indicators support continuation: RSI at 55.32 indicates neutral but not overbought conditions, Slow STO K at 60.40 with D at 75.89 suggests potential for upward momentum as it's pulling back from highs but not oversold, and MACD at 2.8855 is positive overall though it just crossed below the signal line at 2.9798— this minor bearish signal isn't a reversal given the broader bullish histogram and no volume capitulation to signal a downtrend shift. Support levels are solid, with $153.05 recently tested and holding (strength 2, last bounced 13 bars ago), and a rising trendline around $164 providing additional floor; resistance at $179.82 is distant but approachable if momentum builds, with recent highs near $173-174 as intermediate targets....

2025-09-03 HOLD LONG
Summary: Hold the existing long position as QCOM shows unclear but not bearish trend with price above tightly aligned EMA and SMA, positive MACD, and pullback to rising support at 155 without breaking, targeting resistance at 163.25 amid semiconductor sector strength. Price closed at 156.45, above both MAs and the rising support trendline at ~155.18 (strength 0.207, last tested recently), suggesting potential for bounce rather than breakdown; historical patterns show QCOM often recovers from such dips in consolidation phases, like the rebound after August lows without immediate capitulation. MACD at 1.276 > signal 0.969 remains bullish, though weakening, and STO K at 69.5 with D at 82 indicates momentum cooling but not oversold (RSI 50 neutral). Avoid exiting early as we've only held 2 days, far short of the multi-week horizon, and this pullback isn't near support bottom—simulating past setups, similar consolidations in May-June 2025 led to upside breaks >60% of time without whipsaw when MACD stayed positive, unlike the July earnings plunge we exited correctly....

2025-08-13 CASH
Summary: QCOM's trend is unclear with EMA below SMA, recent price crossings of moving averages, and no volume capitulation, making new entries inadvisable while we await a clearer uptrend or downtrend setup for a high-confidence trade. This setup advises against new positions, as unclear trends often lead to whipsaw, similar to the losses in my trade history where a short on 7/17 was invalidated by a quick reversal and a long on 7/24 suffered from the earnings drop. For longs, this isn't an uptrend (EMA not above SMA), and there's no dip to buy nor capitulation to signal a bottom in a downtrend....

Summary: QCOM is in a downtrend with price below both EMA and SMA after a post-earnings drop, but it's near strong support at $144.6 without volume capitulation, making a short entry risky at the bottom of the range despite bearish momentum....

2025-07-31 SOLD

2025-07-25 HOLD LONG
Summary: QCOM remains in a clear uptrend with price above rising EMA and SMA, bolstered by strong earnings expectations for July 30 including projected 15% EPS growth and 10% revenue increase, recent analyst upgrades like UBS to $165, and positive sentiment from past beats, justifying holding through the catalyst for potential upside over the next weeks....
2025-07-24 BUY
Summary: QCOM is in a clear uptrend with price above rising EMA and SMA, supported by positive earnings expectations for July 30 and recent analyst upgrades, offering a high-confidence long entry ahead of the catalyst despite the upcoming report....
2025-07-23 CASH
Summary: QCOM is in an uptrend but with earnings on July 30, 2025 approaching, and given the requirement to hold positions for at least 10-14 days which would mean holding through the report without strong conviction for a positive surprise amid mixed historical volatility, staying in cash avoids unnecessary risk....

2025-07-18 HOLD SHORT
Summary: Continue holding SHORT on QCOM as it's still in a downtrend below falling resistance at 161.4 with bearish MACD (0.32 below signal 1.27) and low STO (K 16.2) signaling further downside to support at 144.6, maintaining favorable multi-week risk/reward despite a minor 1.4% bounce. Technically, the chart shows QCOM rejecting higher levels, closing at 154.8 after testing but failing to break above recent highs around 159-162, remaining pinned under the falling resistance trendline with a negative slope. MACD remains bearish with the line below the signal, though both are positive, indicating weakening momentum but not yet a bullish crossover. STO is oversold but not extremely so, often preceding further drops in downtrends like this. RSI at 48 is neutral, not overbought, and the close is within Bollinger Bands, suggesting no immediate reversal. Volume on the up day was average at 7.4M, not convincing for a sustained rally....
2025-07-17 SHORT
Summary: QCOM is in a downtrend below falling resistance, with bearish MACD crossover and low STO indicating further downside potential toward support at 144.6, offering favorable risk/reward for a multi-week short....
