Semis and Growth Stocks Leadership Up and Down - Look at AMD
For the past week we’ve been saying how the Semiconductors #SOX and NASDAQ-100 #NDX continued to not only trend in the same direction but their expansion between each other was evident of liquidation pressures continuing. These were even more evident as the 50 day moving average and 200 day moving average became dominant components of resistance. Nothing good comes of a stock when it’s unable to maintain the 50 day moving average!
The good news is the major indexes have not finally contracted into that 14,000 range on the #NDX that we’ve been touting on the Futures Market for about 2 weeks now.

It started to look as-if the low from April 12th was going to be a potential area for a leg up; however, it’s appearing a lower low could transform this upcoming week. As for right now, the mentioned recent low is holding the line by pennies. If the area breaks we will need to continue monitoring price action until a lower low is established, defended, and confirmed for the next leg upwards.
When we look at #AMD we can see the chart filled with continuous downward gaps and heading to the Demand Zone between 92-89, as pointed out in other postings and videos.
The Economics Thesis is surrounding the shortages of chips, which are in everything these days, thus a contributing factor into the price action throughout 2022. The stock has fallen about 43.50% (~ $72). As much as the news and “what is happening in this space” drives uncertainty and speculation on what's to come - I’m focused on my areas on the charts and within the technical analysis space. News and headlines (noise) is an ambiguous element into the world of trading and psychology. It turns the processors of emotional thinking, which cause tendencies to overthink and act with impulsive behaviors.
In any sense, there could be a turning point at the levels mentioned above. That is not to say we establish “thee low”, but it could generate some relief in attempts to close some upward gaps towards the recent highs of 125.67.
If all else fails, the next levels to watch are 792.0 and 72-80.
