Now, three bullish technical signals suggest more upside could be ahead.
1. Price Is Soaring Above Key Moving Averages
Rigetti stock at $11.39 is trading above all major Simple Moving Averages (SMA), including the eight-day ($10.10), 20-day ($9.31), 50-day ($9.03) and even the 200-day SMA at $6.03. This alignment typically signals a sustained uptrend.
2. Momentum Indicators Remain Positive
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) — a trend-following momentum indicator — currently sits at 0.43, flashing bullish strength. Meanwhile, Rigetti's Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 64.32, suggesting strong buying interest without being overbought.
3. Analyst Sentiment Supports The Move
The stock carries a consensus Buy rating, with recent analyst targets from Benchmark and Needham averaging $15 — implying nearly 32% upside. The official consensus price target is $10.57, right around current levels, but bullish momentum could fuel a breakout if the first quarter surprises to the upside.
Rigetti has been gaining investor attention as quantum computing inches closer to real-world utility. If earnings confirm financial stability or hint at customer growth, these bullish technicals could amplify the reaction.
