IonQ drops 8.9% and falls back onto its 100-week moving average

October 09, 2026

Our view last week

IonQ printed a fresh 30-day high this week, in the 47.9 area, but the close did not confirm it: the week ends 3.8% lower, with the weekly candle finishing in the bottom quarter of its range. Last week's hurdle is still standing. IonQ stock is now pinned between its 200-day and 50-week averages, while daily price action keeps a run of 5 higher lows. The trade slips back to 5.4% underwater: a volatile swing trading setup among US stocks, one to handle with discipline.

This week's summary

Last week's failed breakout had a sequel: IonQ lost 8.9% this week, its 2nd straight weekly decline. IonQ stock now trades below its 50-week average and is leaning on the 100-week moving average, in the 39.2 area, touched and defended at the close. The weekly buy signal is still live, but price action has weakened and the MACD histogram is falling again. The swing trading setup is 13.8% underwater: a volatile name among US tech stocks, one to handle with discipline.
