QCOM projects higher prices ahead: We remain positive on shares of Qualcomm (QCOM) at current level, as the stock is showing signs of going higher. As the chart shows, shares of QCOM fell sharply from $157 to $60 over the past nine-weeks on concerns that China Unicom would not adopt its CDMA technology. Shares sold off on high volume falling to a low of $60 where it stabilized. The decline seemed to have flushed out all the selling, as bargain hunters appear to be stepping in. Now, the stock has a good chance of rebounding due to the following factors: 1) Action was positive in today?s session, as the stock rebounded after forming a base at $67- $70 over the past couple of sessions. 2) The most current decline came on less selling than the first round earlier in June, as indicated by low volume. 3) QCOM made a higher low, first sign of positive technical reading. Other technical indictors such as MACD and Stochastics formed a higher low, indicating less selling pressure. 4) Shares are extremely oversold on a short-and-intermediate-term basis, which could support a rebound. 5) Overall sentiment with respect to tech stocks has improved. Action was positive in NASDAQ in today?s session, as has been the case in recent sessions, NASDAQ closed on a strong note, which could continue ahead. NASDAQ is expected to move up to test resistance at 3,960 and if it can close through that level, would have a good chance of moving up to around 4,200. Such a move is bound to lift QCOM with it. Based on those factors, we think, shares of QCOM provide a low risk trading opportunity over the next few weeks with a price objective of $97-$103. While the rebound might be choppy with lots of backing and filling action, shares could eventually reach there. However, if shares were to close below $60, technical picture would turn negative.trading-ideas.com
