IONQ is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($46.10) and 200-day ($45.25) moving averages. An RSI of 69.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +12.8% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 7.6%). The current 45.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
