Qualcomm Shares Fall: Apple Loss and Memory Costs Weigh on Sales

The news headline points to fundamental negatives such as Apple losses and memory cost pressure, which could create selling pressure in the short term. However, the price has risen 6.9% in the last 24 hours and the RSI at 59 is not in overbought territory; this may limit the impact of the news. The MACD is in negative territory but above the signal line, indicating weak momentum but a recovery signal. The price is above the SMA20 but close to the SMA50; the 172.8 level is critical support. A slight downward correction is possible in the short term due to the news, but additional confirmation is needed for a strong downtrend.

The news focuses directly on Qualcomm rather than Apple; since Apple is likely to benefit from Qualcomm's loss, the impact may be limited and two-sided. The technical picture is slightly positive: the price is above the SMA20 and SMA50, RSI at 59 is far from overbought territory, and MACD is above its signal line. However, after a 1.9% rise over 24 hours, there is a risk of short-term profit-taking. Because the news does not directly change AAPL fundamentals, direction is uncertain, and a neutral bias prevails.
