AI Summary

Stalk
TrimMedium

QUBT remains entrenched in a Stage 4 decline with sequential lower highs and lower lows under declining EMAs and SMAs. The medium-term bias is firmly bearish, while short-term timing is neutral given price is extended below the EMAs and in extreme oversold territory without exhaustion cues. Preferred engagement is deferred sell-side on rallies into resistance around the 9- and 21-day EMAs and prior support-turned-resistance zones. Under a speculative strategy, execution requires clear rejection at those resistance levels before trimming positions.
