I just revised the UI mockup to the seventh version, and my eyes are almost cross-eyed from staring at it. I went to the kitchen to heat up some oden, and when I came back I casually checked the US stock perpetual futures leaderboard. $QCOM is sitting at the top—I actually paused for a few seconds.

Honestly, I’m biased bullish on this stock. It’s not the kind of “fomo-driven” bullish. It just looks pretty steady.

Today its current price is $169.7, up +2.92% over the past 24 hours, and it’s touched a high of $170.28.

This kind of movement isn’t the type that blows the ceiling out of nowhere. Instead, it feels like someone’s been consistently watching it. The pace isn’t frantic, but it’s not weak either.

I’ll keep an eye on Qualcomm, mostly because its overall direction isn’t that questionable.

From what I understand, it’s still a core company on the chip and communications track.

What’s good about companies like this is they don’t rely on a single short-term hot theme to survive.

As long as the market is still willing to assign valuations to themes like “computing power, upgrades to terminal devices, and communication capability,” it’s relatively easy for the stock to stay in investors’ focus.

Also, there’s one point about this kind of company that I personally care about a lot: it’s not just about telling a story.

When many stocks rise, they’re especially good at drawing big future promises. You look a couple times and the flavor just feels off.

With a name like Qualcomm, at least to me, the market’s understanding of it is mature enough—so the discussion base is more tied to its position in the industry, not some new concept that popped up overnight.

And today’s price action doesn’t look hollow either.

In the past 24 hours, the trading volume is $6.79M USDT, which suggests there are plenty of people watching—not some cold, isolated self-performance.

The funding rate at +0.0209% isn’t exaggerated either. At least for me, it hasn’t reached that point where “the longs are crowding so hard it makes me panic.”

Of course, I’m not blindly hyping it.

The issue with stocks like this is that they usually won’t give you an especially dramatic sentiment premium.

If the market suddenly rotates away from the tech space into other directions, or if everyone starts to complain that large-cap stocks move too slowly, it could also turn into a position that’s “not wrong, but it just doesn’t move much.” Holding it can be really wearing.

And since it’s already touched around $170 today, short-term traders will definitely keep staring at that level repeatedly.

So my stance is bullish, but more like I’m willing to wait for a pullback and confirmation. I don’t really want to chase momentum just out of sentiment.

Drawing during the day is already tiring enough. At night, I really don’t want to fight with my own position and agitate myself 😅

I’ll keep this one near the top of my watchlist. $QCOM #USstocks

If you can’t handle it, don’t board the train. Anyway, this is experience I earned from losing money.
