AI revenue surge and major contracts as stock faces persistent selling
Broadcom reported quarterly earnings of $2.05 per share for the period ended March 4, 2026, surpassing consensus estimates. The company was awarded a five-year, $970 million contract with the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency and has started volume shipments of its Tomahawk 6 Ethernet switching silicon. Broadcom also entered a multiyear partnership with OpenAI to develop custom AI accelerators and saw Q1 AI semiconductor revenues rise 106% year-over-year to $8.4 billion, with Q2 guidance at $10.7 billion, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.
Bearish momentum prevails as oversold signals and resistance converge
Momentum signals on the daily chart remain bearish, as the MACD points to a sell signal and the ADX indicates weak trend strength. Both RSI and CCI are nearing oversold conditions, while the Stoch RSI and Bull/Bear Power confirm deep oversold readings, indicating clear seller dominance. The Awesome Oscillator aligns with this momentum, and the price sits under the Ichimoku Kijun level at $330.17, which acts as immediate resistance. High intraday volatility and downside price action after the open further support the negative technical picture.
Further declines favored as sellers control range-bound outlook
For the upcoming week, AVGO is expected to fluctuate within a typical volatility band of $294.50 – $301.50 as sellers maintain control. The probability of a sustained upward move is estimated below 20%, suggesting further declines are more likely. Continued sideways movement near current levels is the baseline scenario. A bullish reversal requires a firm breakout above the $330 resistance, while a breakdown below $294.50 could trigger additional downside if selling intensifies.
Earlier, analysts noted that Broadcom was experiencing persistent bearish technical pressure despite positive developments in its AI chip business and new strategic partnerships. With multiple momentum indicators now deeply oversold and volatility elevated, traders should watch for either a breakdown below $294.50 triggering further losses or a potential reversal if buyers regain control above immediate resistance.
