Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute-angled triangle, let MM be the midpoint of BCBC and let HH be the foot of the BB-altitude. Let QQ be the circumcenter of ABMABM and let XX be the intersection point between BHBH and the axis of BCBC.
Show that the circumcircles of the two triangles ACMACM, AXHAXH and the line CQCQ pass through a same point if and only if BQBQ is perpendicular to CQCQ.
