Technical Analysis

CURRENT PRICE: $18.06 | PRIMARY TREND: BEARISH(Downtrend Intact)

Multi-Timeframe Context

Short-Term (Days):Weak
Medium-Term (Weeks):Bearish structure
Long-Term (Months):Requires 200d reclaim

Timeframes conflict: short-term oversold conditions create bounce probability, but medium/long-term structure remains weak. This explains contradictory signals.

Technical Context Zones

Trend Zone:Price vs 50d: $24.30 • Price vs 200d: $24.89
Decision Zone:Support: $16.92 • Resistance: $27.59

Momentum Indicators

RSI at 35.1 is neutral. The negative MACD suggests the probability of continued downside pressure, though momentum shifts can occur.

RSI (14d)
35.1 Neutral
MACD
-1.45 Bearish

Market Mechanics: Distance from 50d SMA (25.7%) shows stretched downside momentum. Mean-reversion probability rises.

Bollinger Bands – Position Context

Price trades in the lower half of the bands, increasing the probability of short-term bounce. However, downtrends can remain oversold longer than expected.

Note: Bands show volatility zones, not strict buy/sell signals. Confluence with volume and momentum increases reliability.

Volume Analysis – Causal Context

Trading volume declines below 20-day average.

Trading Plan & Invalidation Rules

Bullish Scenario: If QBTS holds above $19.84 on normal or rising volume, probability of continuation toward $27.59 increases.
Bearish Scenario: If QBTS breaks below $16.92 on expanding volume (confirmation required), risk shifts toward lower historical supports. Monitor 200d SMA at $24.89 as potential floor.
Invalidation Rules:
  • Bullish thesis fails if price closes below $16.92 on volume >20-day average (indicates institutional selling).
  • Bearish thesis fails if price closes above $24.30 on volume >20-day average (indicates accumulation).
  • Monitor for volume divergence: price making new highs/lows on declining volume suggests exhaustion.

Multi-Timeframe Verdict Matrix

SHORT-TERM (Days)
Weak
Neutral momentum—wait for clearer directional signals before committing.
MEDIUM-TERM (Weeks)
Bearish structure
Price below 50d SMA reflects bearish structure. Recovery requires reclaim of $24.30 on expanding volume.
LONG-TERM (Months)
Requires 200d reclaim
Below 200d SMA suggests bear market risk. Long-term investors should avoid new positions until trend improves.
📊 Unified Recommendation
For Swing Traders (Days-Weeks): Wait for directional clarity. Breakout above $27.59 or breakdown below $16.92 needed.
For Position Traders (Weeks-Months): Bearish structure—avoid new longs until price reclaims $24.30 on rising volume. Consider shorts below $16.92 with volume confirmation above 20-day average.
⚠️ Important: This analysis reflects probability-based assessments, not certainties. Markets can remain irrational longer than expected. Always use stop-losses and position sizing to manage risk. Invalidation rules are critical—if thesis breaks, exit promptly.
