Qualcomm has drifted since the summer, and now the bears might be stepping in.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the sideways drift that began in August. Following declines in June and July, that series of slightly higher highs and higher lows may be viewed as a bearish flag. Recent moves below the range could also be interpreted as a breakdown.

Second is the $180.95 level where the chip stock closed before its July 31 earnings report. Prices tested and failed at that level after the last set of numbers two weeks ago. Is resistance taking shape?

Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “death cross” below the 200-day SMA in late September. That may suggest QCOM’s longer-term trend is weakening.

Finally, our 2 MA Ratio custom script in lower study shows how the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has slipped below the 21-day EMA. That may suggest its shorter-term trend is also weakening.
