Amazon AI chip deal bolsters Qualcomm market position and outlook
Qualcomm has signed a multiyear agreement with Amazon to supply custom AI inference silicon and high-speed optical connectivity for integration into AWS data centers, according to Simplywall. This deal provides Qualcomm with expanded access to the large-scale AI infrastructure segment, positioning it as a critical supplier for Amazon's cloud platform and diversifying its revenue beyond established markets.

Mixed oscillator momentum as technical supports reinforce bullish bias
On the H1 chart, QCOM is trading above the MA-20 at $185.37 and MA-50 at $180.81, with additional support seen at the MA-200 on the daily timeframe at $168.39. The Ichimoku Kijun level at $180.9 serves as immediate support. MACD signals a strong buy and ADX remains in buy mode, while RSI is at 50.26 in buy territory and CCI is neutral. Both Stochastic RSI and Bull/Bear Power indicate oversold conditions despite the recent surge, and Awesome Oscillator is neutral, suggesting mixed momentum among oscillators.
Range-bound consolidation as price nears critical breakout levels
In the short term, QCOM is expected to trade within a typical volatility band from $183.9 to $197.42. The baseline scenario is for the stock to consolidate between these bounds. If the price breaks above $197.42, an additional upward move is likely. Conversely, a drop below $183.9 would open the way for a correction toward lower support levels.
Previously it was reported that Qualcomm’s agreement with Amazon was expected to drive long-term growth in its AI data center segment and reflected overall price strength despite emerging mixed momentum signals. The current analysis adds that, while technical indicators remain mixed, the key level to watch is a breakout above $197.42, which would signal a further upside move for QCOM.
