Hello, this is IGNIS 🔥 from VYRA’s top trader team. Today, I’m here to analyze the burning flame of quantum computing, IonQ (IONQ). The most realistic way for an individual investor, not a professional trader, to consistently profit is to select a few strong long-term stocks and approach them with a 2-part entry strategy for swing or mid-to-long-term trading. Don’t forget that the US market generally offers higher probabilities than the Korean market. We provide our subscribers with the highest probability entry points and scenarios. We’ve been continuously following the analysis from our previous post on July 19th, so be sure to check that out if you haven’t already. Understanding the flow is essential for successful investing.
3. Summary
👉 IonQ is maintaining a mid-to-long-term uptrend and is currently exploring a short-term direction within a symmetrical triangle consolidation. As analyzed in our July 19th post, IonQ (IONQ) is stably accelerating/maintaining its mid-to-long-term uptrend. It has now entered a symmetrical triangle consolidation, making a directional decision after October a critical juncture. The current price ($42.13) is a key turning point where short- and swing-term trends are merging/forming. Despite the risks of cash burn from ongoing R&D and minimal revenue, its technological leadership in quantum computing and strong correlation with the AI sector are supporting investor sentiment. By following the continuity of our analysis, you can build trust in our methods and ride the market’s rhythm with us.
4. Chart Analysis
👉 We use the VPAR method to identify trend pivot points and react strategically at key support zones for stability and a higher win rate. This is the chart for IonQ (IONQ), which you requested for analysis. Getting swayed by every market headline can easily exhaust your time and capital. We use the VPAR method’s live indices to monitor real-time inflection points and pivot points, improving stability and win rates with a 2-part entry strategy at major swing and mid-term support zones. Do you see the circles on the chart? These are key areas where the short-term trend merged, leading to powerful upward moves. You can secure a high win rate with such simple judgments. The probability and profitability are especially high around the swing (white) and mid-term (orange) zones. Conversely, the ‘X’ marks signify rebound points after a VPAR trend breakout. In a swing trend, the first short-term breakout often leads to a high-probability rebound at the swing support level. In a mid-term trend, the first swing breakout can lead to a high-probability rebound at the mid-term support level. Therefore, it’s crucial to check both the trend and wave patterns on the chart before trading. This video provides a talk-show-style report breakdown, and you can find a summarized report on our blog.
5. Investment Opinion
👉 Short-term, we’re looking for support at the triangle’s lower boundary; mid-term, we anticipate trend acceleration if it holds above $44.3.
- Short-term Price Target: We’ll hold off on a specific target in this trend merging phase. The crucial factor is whether it breaks out of the symmetrical triangle’s upper boundary.
- Swing Price Target: A new swing trend could form upon a confirmed hold above $44.3.
- Mid-term Price Target: A hold above $44.3 will determine the continuation of the mid-term trend. The long-term target has the potential to increase by $5 per quarter.
7. Rhythm Analysis
👉 The Bollinger Bands are contracting within a symmetrical triangle, indicating a period of consolidation before a directional move. IonQ’s current rhythm is in the Rhythm Development/Formation stage. The band width is contracting around the short- and swing-term pivot points, holding direction in reserve. This is confirmed by the quantitative indicator BW (Bollinger Bands Width), which is sharply decreasing. The multi-indicator RSI is hovering near 50, offering no clear signal of direction. The MACD histogram is also fluctuating slightly around the zero line, showing a power struggle between buyers and sellers. IGNIS sees this as a ‘flame storing energy for the next explosion.’ Once the spread starts in either direction, a Rhythm 상승/Maintenance (return) or Rhythm Decline/Transition (expansion-to-contraction) phase will begin in earnest. We must not miss this consolidating flame.
8. Financial Health
👉 Sustained cash burn due to technological development introduces financial uncertainty. IonQ maintains a very healthy financial position with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0% as of Q2 2025. However, the issue lies in its cash flow. Massive R&D expenses have resulted in negative cash flow from operations of -$28 million. Revenue is minimal, primarily from R&D contracts, as it’s still in the early stages of commercialization. This means the company will require continuous fundraising for growth. Until cash flow turns positive, you should be mindful of dilution risk from potential future stock offerings.
9. News / Risks / Events
👉 Macro-level interest rate environments and quantum computing tech competition are key risks. Macro News: The current high-interest-rate environment is unfavorable for cash-intensive growth stocks. Higher borrowing costs and a dampened investment mood could pressure IonQ’s stock price. However, signals of a rate hold or cut could restore investor sentiment for growth stocks. Risks:
- Technological Competition: Competition with tech giants like IBM and Google is the biggest risk. Securing key patents and maintaining technological superiority are critical.
- Dilution Risk: Future capital raises to fund ongoing R&D could dilute the value of existing shares. Events:
- Regulatory Calendar: Potential US government subsidies for quantum computing could be a positive catalyst.
- Partnerships: Recent announcements of collaborations for building quantum data centers provide positive momentum.
10. Strategic Scenarios
👉 Execute a phased action plan based on the direction of the symmetrical triangle breakout. 🔥 IGNIS’s Action Plan: To achieve a powerful surge like a flame, you must confirm the exact trigger before entry. ✅ Short-term Buy Strategy:
- Entry Zone: After confirming support at the lower boundary of the symmetrical triangle.
- Conditions: TRAP Resolution Stage 2+ + Rhythm transition (from contraction to expansion) + Confirmation of external events (tech partnerships, etc.).
- Elliott Wave: Currently assessed to be in the 4th wave correction phase, exploring an entry point for the 5th wave ascent. ✅ Swing Buy Strategy:
- Entry Zone: After a confirmed hold above $44.3.
- Conditions: TRAP Resolution Stage 2+ + Rhythm Expansion signal + Confirmation of market type (high volatility).
- Elliott Wave: Scenario for entry into the 5th wave progression. ✅ Mid-term Buy Strategy:
- Entry Zone: At the mid-term pivot point of $37 or the longer-term pivot of $30, using a staged entry.
- Conditions: TRAP Resolution Stage 2+ + Rhythm/Supply transition + Consideration of long-term macro context (rate cut expectations).
- Elliott Wave: An entry point if the 4th wave correction deepens.
11. Elliott Wave Analysis
👉 The symmetrical triangle suggests a 4th wave correction, and the 5th wave target is predicted using Fibonacci extension ratios. IonQ’s current wave pattern corresponds to a 4th wave correction. The 4th wave typically appears as a sideways or symmetrical triangle, which aligns with the current chart pattern. Once the 4th wave correction is complete, a powerful 5th wave ascent could begin.
- 4th Wave Retracement Zone: Support could be found around the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level of $37-$39. This zone serves as a basis for short- and swing-term entry points.
- 5th Wave Price Target: Applying the 1.618 Fibonacci extension ratio to the 3rd wave’s range, the 5th wave’s target could be set at around $50-$55. IGNIS believes this price zone will be the starting point of the trend acceleration.
- Strategy Trigger: For the 5th wave to proceed, TRAP Resolution Stage 2/3 + Rhythm Expansion signal + Supply Spreading flow must occur simultaneously.
12. Community Sentiment
👉 The community shows sustained optimism about quantum computing, focusing on specific keywords.
- Reddit r/QuantumComputing:
- Mentions: +28% MoM (4,600 → 5,900)
- Top Keywords: “Advantage2”, “scaling”, “public sector”

- Negative Keywords: “losses”, “dilution”, “competition” Community data emphasizes social flows directly related to the stock’s unique keywords, influencer mentions, and politician holdings, rather than the general market. The negative keyword ‘dilution’ corroborates the financial analysis’s ‘dilution risk,’ showing it’s a major concern for investors.
13. Outlook and Risk Summary
👉 A mid-term uptrend is likely to continue, but short-term risk management is crucial for a potential break below the triangle’s lower boundary.
- Supply/Demand: Institutional supply is still minimal, but the stock is highly correlated with the AI and tech growth sector, making it heavily influenced by overall market liquidity.
- Short Selling: Short interest isn’t yet at a threatening level, but traders should be mindful of short sellers entering the market during sharp price surges.
- Institutional Supply: The stock’s current lack of inclusion in major institutional baskets means its volatility can be affected by shifts in smaller ETFs.
The core of investing isn’t complex. Even for individual investors, the most probable path to consistent returns is selecting a few strong stocks for long-term holding and using a 2-part entry strategy for swing and mid-to-long-term trades. The US market is generally more favorable than the Korean market, and we’re here to provide our subscribers with the highest probability entry points directly.
14. In-Depth Report
👉 AI and institutional supply will be key triggers for a directional move. IonQ’s recent stock movement shows a close correlation with AI trading algorithms. The high covariance with Nvidia (NVDA) (0.82) suggests that IonQ is being viewed as part of the broader AI sector, not just a standalone quantum computing play. Therefore, IonQ’s price will likely be influenced by the trends of AI leaders like Nvidia. As for institutional supply, no large-scale capital inflow has been observed yet. However, once the stock breaks above the symmetrical triangle’s upper boundary, quant and algorithm-based institutional funds, which rely on technical indicators, could begin to flow in.

Conclusion
👉 Prepare a phased action plan based on the direction of the symmetrical triangle breakout. IGNIS’s specific action plan is as follows:
- Wait/Staged Entry (Now ~ Mid-October): At the current price of $42.13, we recommend waiting, allowing for potential further declines. If it drops to the $37-$39 range, consider a first-part entry from a mid-to-long-term perspective.
- Swing Entry (After Mid-October): If the stock secures a hold above the symmetrical triangle’s upper boundary of $44.3 with volume, execute a swing buy to participate in the 5th wave ascent.
- Stop-Loss/Risk Management: If the support line at $37 breaks and the price falls to the mid-term pivot of $30, take a stop-loss on short-term positions and transition to mid-to-long-term risk management. This would signal a confirmed technical trend breakdown.
