Chips have begun 2024 on a strong note, and some traders may look for NXP Semiconductors to participate in the rally.
The first pattern on today’s chart is October’s monthly closing high of $203.46. NXPI paused below the level around November 20. It then climbed, and the same price area went from being a weekly high to a weekly low. A successful retest followed on January 17. Has old resistance become new support?
Second, the shares have moved higher along their rising 50-day simple moving average (SMA). The 50-day SMA also crossed above the 100-day SMA in mid-December. That may suggest the intermediate- and long-term trends are getting more bullish.
Third, NXPI’s latest pullback represented a 50 percent retracement of its most recent bounce. Holding that retracement may suggest the short-term trend is getting bullish as well.
