QXO is sitting on a trendline that has held for over a year: Here is what comes next

QXO, Inc. (ticker: QXO) is sitting right on a rising trendline that has been in place since May of last year. The stock is at $18.87 as I write this, and this company is at one of the most important technical junctures it has faced in months. QXO is a building products distributor focused on bringing technology to an industry that has historically resisted it, and that context matters when you look at what this chart has done.

Chart

That ascending trendline originates from the $12 lows back in May 2025 and has risen steadily through every major pullback since. Price ran to $27 in late November, pulled back, ran again to $25 in February, and has now retraced all the way back to the trendline. Two failed pushes at the highs and yet the floor has not cracked. That tells you where the real demand is.

The prior touches on this line matter. Each one produced a meaningful bounce. Not a grind, not a slow stabilization, but buyers stepping in and holding the line. A trendline that has redirected price three or four times over fourteen months means more than one being tested for the first time.

Probabilities do favor a bounce from this zone. Aggressive traders can use the current trendline test as an entry, with a confirmed daily close below the line — now in the $18.50–$19 range — as the stop and invalidation level. Conservative traders should wait for a close back above $20 before adding size; a test that holds intraday but fails to generate follow-through on the close is not a confirmed bounce.

The bear case requires a clean break and daily close below the trendline. Until that happens, this chart is still trending higher. That has been true for over a year, and nothing in the current price action is changing my read on it.

 Weekly focus: Some relief in US inflation concerns

Actual inflation data for July came out as expected with a 0.1% m/m increase in headline CPI and 0.2% excluding food and energy. Annual headline inflation remains too high at 3.4% and means that wage earners are experiencing stagnating spending power at best, and core inflation is a bit higher than the inflation target of two percent would suggest.
