How Qinetiq looks technically
Qinetiq (QQ.L) is trading 9.8% above its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a longer-term uptrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 37 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. There is no clear trend right now — the price is choppy (ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 18, below the 25 that marks a real trend), though buyers have been pushing harder than sellers lately — pressure, not a trend. Momentum is stretched — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 72, in overbought territory (above 70). It just made a new 20-day high, its first since 2026-01-23, pushing above its recent trading range. Trading volume is unusually light — only about 0% of its 30-day average.
