The stock declined amid profit-taking after the company reported achieving an algorithmic qubit score of AQ64 on its Tempo system three months ahead of schedule. This came as US 10-year Treasury yields approached 4.2%, weighing on technology sentiment (Reuters, 26 September 2025).

IONQ stock price: Technical overview

On the daily chart, IONQ is trading above its key moving average cluster – the 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day moving averages (DMAs) at around $60, $47, $43 and $38 – with the 20-over-50 alignment intact. Momentum is positive: the 14-day RSI is at 72.8, indicating stretched conditions, while the ADX (14) at 43.7 signals an established trend.

The nearest resistance is the intraday high of $73.52; a daily close above that level would bring the $75 area into view. On pullbacks, initial support is at the 50-DMA near $47, followed by the pivot at $41.44. A break below this level would open the way to the next support zone (TradingView, 26 September 2025).
