Consolidation Breakout:
- As we can see on the daily chart, QCOM was in bearish correction mode from 2014 to early 2016.
- After that price action shifted into a more sideways consolidation .
- We can either project a triangle or just look at this period as a sideways range.
- From either perspective, price broke above consolidation in September.
- However, as the general equities market waned, QCOM also pulled back.
Key Support:
- If the market is indeed in a bullish mode after the bullish breakout, then we should see support in the $60-$62 area.
- This is the central pivot of the sideways consolidation range.
- It is also where the weekly moving averages reside (200, 100, 50).
- We can also see this as a previous support/resistance pivot.
- Ability to hold above this pivot can anchor QCOM into a bullish scenario with the 2014 high around $81.90 in sight.
- A break below $60 would suggest further consolidation and bearish correction. This scenario would at least open up the $49-$50 area.
