A month before the crash

Dear Reader,

Over the past 25 years, I’ve made it my mission to speak up when something feels off in the markets.

A month before the dot-com bubble burst, I published a warning essentially saying: “This can’t last.”

In 2008, I rang the alarm on housing calling the fall of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers.

I’ve exposed shady CEOs, market frauds, and financial bubbles before most investors saw the cracks.

Eventually, CNBC gave me a nickname I didn’t ask for: “The Prophet.”

But what I see happening right now… it’s much bigger.

Some are even calling it, “The bubble to burst them all.”

And that’s why I’ve stepped forward in a way I never have before… to show you exactly what’s coming… and how to stay on the right side of it.

Because if I’m right again – and I’ve put together all my proof for you – this may be your final chance to prepare.

Qualcomm Gets Crushed: $150 Is the Level to Watch Going Forward

Submitted by Sam Quirke. Published: 1/22/2026.

Summary

  • Qualcomm has fallen sharply over the past week, breaking its multi-month uptrend and pushing momentum indicators firmly into oversold territory.
  • The stock now trades at levels it was at years ago, despite no material company-specific bad news driving the move.
  • Recent analyst updates suggest the selloff may already be overdone, and an opportunity may be opening up. 

Shares of Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ: QCOM) have been hit hard, plunging roughly 17% over seven consecutive sessions and finding little resistance from buyers.

The tech giant has given up all its gains from 2025 and is trading near levels last seen in 2020 — a sobering reversal for investors who had been keyed into its improving narrative.

Part of the blame lies with the rapidly escalating geopolitical backdrop, which has driven a broad flight out of tech stocks and contributed to the S&P 500 logging its worst single session since October.

Still, it’s hard to ignore the technical damage done to Qualcomm’s chart, especially after the stock fought hard for its gains last year.

The rising uptrend that underpinned much of Qualcomm’s rally since before last summer has been broken, and that shift matters. For contrarian investors watching from the sidelines, however, a potential opportunity may be opening up — let’s take a closer look.

Why the Oversold Signal Matters

As if the run of red days wasn’t enough, the ongoing selloff has pushed Qualcomm’s momentum indicators sharply lower. The stock’s relative strength index (RSI) has plunged into extremely oversold territory — its most stretched reading since April of last year. That’s not pretty, but what happened after the prior extreme makes this setup more interesting.

Extreme RSI readings don’t call bottoms by themselves; oversold stocks can always become more oversold. Still, such readings often indicate selling pressure is becoming unsustainable. When an oversold signal appears without a clear company-specific catalyst, as is happening now, it suggests the move may be driven more by market-wide sentiment than by fundamentals at the company.

Qualcomm’s history matters here. The last time the stock reached similar oversold conditions, in April of last year, it later rallied as much as 70% over the following months. That doesn’t guarantee a repeat, but it shows that extreme pessimism about Qualcomm’s prospects has been proven wrong before.

A Frustrating Stock to Follow

There are plenty of reasons to remain skeptical even with the stock deeply oversold. Qualcomm has a long-standing reputation for frustrating investors: it has lagged larger peers and failed to sustain breakouts just when optimism was building. That track record is one reason the recent trend break should be taken seriously.

At the same time, the current selloff appears unusually disconnected from fundamentals. There has been no fresh earnings miss, no guidance cut, and no new negative development specific to the business. Instead, the stock seems to have been swept up in a broader risk-off move that punished equities across the board in recent sessions.

That disconnect shows up in analysts’ positioning. Citigroup, RBC, and Mizuho have all issued Neutral-equivalent ratings in the past month, yet even their cautious price targets sit around $180. With the stock trading below $155, it’s clear that several analysts view the selling as overdone.

What Bulls Need to Watch

For this to become a genuine opportunity rather than a trap, the price action and technicals need to stabilize. The first step would be for Qualcomm to stop the bleeding and consolidate near the $150 level. Signs of selling exhaustion — such as the RSI turning higher or a bullish MACD crossover — would strengthen the case that downside momentum is fading.

Until those signals appear, caution is warranted. Broken trends take time to repair, and Qualcomm has burned investors before with false starts. Still, when a stock with solid long-term fundamentals becomes this oversold without a clear catalyst, it deserves attention.

For investors who believe in Qualcomm’s longer-term potential and can tolerate volatility, this may be a reasonable entry point — you may just have to accept some short-term pain.

I was born on 6 August 1956 in San Francisco, California to Janet and (the late) Richard Hovis. I grew up in Santa Monica, California where I attended elementary, junior high school, and high school (graduating in 1974), in addition to involvement in sports and recreation (Little League +, the Boy’s Club ++). Further, it was in elementary school – St. Augustine’s By-the -Sea Parish School that I found, and made the choice to truly journey with God. I attended Arizona State University from 1974 to 1977 – seeking to become an architect, however, I was not accepted, and, as such, I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree. Upon graduation from Arizona State University, I attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and studied City and Regional Planning at the Master’s level. I successfully completed one (1) year in a two (2) year program – I did not complete the Master’s degree in City and Regional Planning – due to personal reasons. I returned to Santa Monica where I started (October 1979) my career as graphic designer with Exxon Company, USA. I spent five years with Exxon Company, USA. While working with Exxon Company, USA I was accepted into architectural school – Sci-Arc in Southern California, however, I did not attend preferring to stay with Exxon.. In 1982 I married Laura Flosi and in April 1983 we had our one and only child – Lauren Alain Hovis – a gift from God. We moved to Phoenix, Arizona in 1984 from Los Angeles, where I went to work as a graphic designer with Kitchell CEM (from 1985 -1987). From 1987 – 1995 I was an independent contractor, and a registered representative in mortgage finance, financial management, graphic design, and drafting. Further, I attended the University of Phoenix and successfully obtained a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) in 1982. I was also a member of the Scottsdale Jaycees, where I became very involved in community events and projects. In 1994, I accepted a cartography position with the Defense Mapping Agency in Reston, Virginia. As such, I relocated from Phoenix to Reston. In 1998, I was accepted and worked as a Visual Information Officer with the Central Intelligence Agency. In 2002, I worked as a Support Officer until my retirement (due to a need for shoulder surgery) in September 2018. Away from my Federal Government service, I have been involved in various organizations and activities in Northern Virginia. In November of 2011, I married Rebecca Ouellette in Santa Monica, California. I reside in San Tan Valley, AZ with my two hamster - Jess and Timothy, our fish, our lizard - RJ Lizard., and our cats - Pearl and Grey. As to hobbies, I enjoy playing sports, attending sporting events, mentoring individuals from financial management to hamsters, building models, photography, travel, multimedia design, managing partner for RJ Hamster, and jazz – smooth jazz to a samba or a bossa nova. Love and God Bless, Peter – aka RJ Hamster Jo hi
