Ruff, you mean this?> During the most recent trading session, QCOM posted a new fifty-two week high at 401.375. The last trade for QCOM was 394.750 with volume of 4,898,600 shares. The new fifty-two week high for QCOM may clear the way for a new leg in its current uptrend. 77% of the stock's thirty-day average volume has been traded in the most recent session. QCOM is in a strong uptrend with a significant positive divergence from the 200-day moving average line. The moving average describes the price trend of a stock over specific period 200 days in this case. When a stock's price is significantly above this line, it has recently posted strong gains and may soon consolidate, or pull back, before resuming its uptrend. With a significant positive divergence from the 50-day moving average line, QCOM is posting strong positive gains. The stock may consolidate briefly in the short-term before the next upleg in its current trend as some investors might consider it overbought at this time. The 50-day moving average line is a reliable intermediate-term indicator the greater the divergence from this line, the more profits there are to be had for short-term players. If the stock pulls back on decreasing volume and volatility in the near-term, this is a positive sign that QCOM will experience an uptrend. QCOM's figures currently rest substantially above its 10-day moving average line. A strong positive divergence from this point of reference indicates that the stock might be overbought in the short-term and that a consolidation or pullback may be in order. If the stock is below its 50 or 200-day moving average lines, but above the 10-day line, this is a sign of short-term strength and signals growing momentum. If this positive divergence occurs on heavy relative volume a trend reversal might be underway. If, however, QCOM is significantly above all three of these moving average lines, the stock may be destined for a strong uptrend. Market timing (in any scenario) requires a sophisticated understanding of a stock's relationship to moving average lines. Considering other technical indicators in conjunction with moving average lines is also useful. QCOM is exhibiting long-term growth potential. The stock posted substantial gains over the past six months and is showing a positive divergence from the 200 and 50-day moving average lines, thereby suggesting a strong uptrend. The stock is looking to continue it's current long-term trend. The short-term technical ranking for QCOM, as measured by a combination of the MACD indicator (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), one week relative performance and the 30 and 10-day moving average ratios, suggests that the stock is consolidating for the short-term. Therefore, QCOM is currently trending sideways. Analyzing the long-term technical ranking for QCOM should help determine whether the stock exhibits future growth potential given its current prices. QCOM is a stock to watch with a gain in short-term technical ranking during the last week.
