INTCC trade ideas
Intel Is Up 20%+ on the Nvidia Deal. What Does Its Chart Say?Struggling Intel NASDAQ:INTC had its best market session in nearly four decades the other day when Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA unexpectedly announced plans to invest $5 billion in the company. Does INTC's chart show this is the start of an uptrend -- or just a short-term rebound?
Let's take a look:
Nvidia's Intel Deal
I'll admit I didn't see it coming when Nvidia and Intel announced a headline-making deal last Thursday to jointly develop PC and data-center-friendly chips.
As part of the agreement, Nvidia announced a $5 billion investment in Intel at $23.28 per share, pending regulatory approval.
Intel shot up as much as 30% intraday on the news -- its biggest one-day percentage gain in 38 years.
Nvidia gained 3.5% as well, while INTC rival Advanced Micro Devices NASDAQ:AMD briefly dropped 5.8% intraday. AMD competes directly with Intel for share in the PC/CPU business, while also providing the only real competition to Nvidia at the AI/data-center design level.
As for Intel, it's since given back some of last Thursday's big gains, but was trading Wednesday afternoon at about $30.80 a share. That's up some 23% since the Nvidia announcement, as well as 74.3% from the stock's $17.67 52-week low set on April 8.
Intel's Technical Analysis
Now let's take a look at INTC's chart going back some nine months and running through Thursday's close:
What readers will see here is a so-called "flat base" for the stock that ran for more than 12 months, with a $27.55 pivot.
Intel broke out of that in response to the Nvidia news, but investors have to be cognizant of the looming halfway-back point -- a 50% retracement of the stock's December 2023-April 2025 sell-off.
That spot, which stands at about $34.50, has potential to show resistance in the face of Intel's sudden surge.
Most Fibonacci retracement models include 50% retracements even though they're not actual Fibonacci levels. Twelfth-century Italian mathematician Leonardo Bonacci never included a 50% retracement level for his sequence.
However, that does not make them any less real. So, if the halfway-back point presents potential resistance for Intel, where does the stock's support level sit?
Potentially at the old flat base's upper trendline, which was Intel's old pivot of $27.55.
An Options Option
Options traders who want to get long on Intel, but not get picked off close to potential resistance often employ a simple buy-write strategy.
This is accomplished by buying INTC shares while also decreasing net basis by writing a call with a higher strike price.
Here's an example:
-- Buy 100 shares of INTC at about $32.
-- Sell (write) one INTC Oct. 24 $34 call for about $2.
Net Basis: $30.
A trader wanting to lower cost basis even more might consider one additional step. They could write a put with a strike price down around the stock's potential support level if the trader is willing to add to their long INTC position at that price:
-- Sell (write) one INTC Oct. 24 $27.50 put for roughly $0.85.
New Net Basis: $29.15.

Intel (INTC) Shares Trade Around $30Intel (INTC) Shares Trade Around $30
In August, we noted that:
→ Intel (INTC) shares gained strong bullish momentum following reports that the US government was in talks to acquire a stake in the company;
→ the INTC chart was signalling that the depressed market, in place since 2021, was undergoing a fundamental shift in sentiment, with a potential rally foundation being formed.
Last month also brought the official announcement that Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group would invest $2 billion in Intel. September, in turn, delivered further reasons for price gains:
→ On 18 September 2025, Nvidia officially announced a $5 billion investment in Intel and the launch of a multi-year strategic partnership. This came as a shock to the market: instead of competing, the two giants decided to join forces in developing new products. INTC shares gapped strongly higher, surpassing the psychological $30 mark for the first time this year.
→ More recently, Bloomberg reported that Apple is also considering investing in Intel. Although this remains at the level of speculation (with no official confirmation from either side), INTC shares rose by more than 6% yesterday.
Technical Analysis of INTC Shares
In earlier chart analysis, we highlighted the importance of the $20 level, which appeared to act as support from large players. This may have reflected confidence that the government would not allow a strategically important US company to be left behind in difficult times, particularly in the context of technological competition with China.
For many months, INTC shares had been in decline (shown by the red line). However, the price action in August–September has broken this pattern, confirming earlier assumptions. Higher lows and higher highs in 2025 have established an ascending channel (shown in blue), with key features as follows:
→ in early September, the price consolidated near the median, signalling a balance between supply and demand around $25;
→ September’s bullish news shifted the balance in favour of buyers, with INTC stock jumping towards the upper boundary of the channel.
From a bearish standpoint, potential obstacles to further growth include:
→ the psychological $30 level (which acted as support in May);
→ the upper boundary of the blue channel.
Although the market looks overbought, it is possible that:
→ buyers may refrain from taking profits in anticipation of longer-term gains;
→ and if positive rumours of further investment in Intel continue to be confirmed, this could drive an extension of the upward trend — potentially along a steeper trajectory (shown in orange).

Mag 7 + Holding Companies + The RingLemme tell ya, Intel’s finally stretchin’ its legs. Don’t get me wrong — it’s been brutal watchin’ every other stock moon 30, 50, 100% while INTC’s been joggin’ like it’s late for the bus but don’t really care if it misses it. But listen, the DD’s done, the will’s strong, and right now the algos are just checkin’ if you’re packin’ Charmin hands or the full Buffett diamond grip.
Now, are half the Mag 7 gonna each toss five billy into Intel ’cause Uncle Sam gave ’em a wink? Fuhgeddaboudit. But if they did? Forget the pump, we’d need oxygen tanks at open.
Here’s the setup:
$29.50 bottom: Solid as Brooklyn concrete. Been tested since ’22, still holdin’.
$31.97 resistance: That’s the ceiling. Crack through it, and now we’re cookin’ with gas.
RSI reset around 60: That’s the coil windin’ up. You load that right, and bam — straight shot into $35–57.
Wildcard’s earnings. Gimme a GAAP EPS of 0.001 or better with a little happy talk about partners or foundry traction, and this thing rips +16–25% before the suits finish their bagels.
So yeah, I’m expectin’ a sideways shuffle into earnings, little RSI cool-off, then either a BOOM or a bust. (And c’mon, I’m prayin’ it’s the boom — nobody needs another bust in this city.)
And honestly? I wouldn’t even blink if the Don pumps this thing right back to $45–47, just like that election-time run last year. That’s a meme waitin’ to happen.
I can see it already.
Still sittin’ on a truckload of calls and a mountain of shares. Not movin’, not flinchin’.
Let’s ride this chip train 🚂💎✋
DOW THEORY PLAY - INTC CONFIRMS BREAKOUT FROM ACCUMULATION PHASEINTC - CURRENT PRICE : 29.58
Key Technical Highlights:
1. Breakout from Accumulation Phase with Strong Volume
Intel has successfully broken out of a prolonged sideways accumulation zone. The breakout is accompanied by significantly higher-than-average volume , indicating strong buying interest and institutional participation.
2. New 52-Week High Achieved
Price has breached the previous 52-week high, signaling bullish momentum and the potential start of a new price discovery phase. Historically, such breakouts often attract trend-following traders.
3. Golden Cross Formation (look at the red circle)
A Golden Cross has formed for the first time in a long period, where the 50-day EMA has crossed above the 200-day EMA — a classic long-term bullish confirmation. Notably, the last occurrence of this pattern was in July 2023 , making this the first reappearance in over two years, further reinforcing its significance as a potential turning point in market sentiment.
4. Dow Theory Alignment – Public Participation Phase
According to Dow Theory, this marks the second phase of a major uptrend — the Public Participation Phase — where broader market participants begin to enter following early accumulation by smart money. This phase typically sees strong price advances.
ENTRY PRICE : 28.00 - 30.00
FIRST TARGET : 35.00
SECOND TARGET : 42.00
SUPPORT : 25.00 (CUTLOSS below 25.00 on closing basis)
Note : This is related to point no 1. Markets have a tendency to "fall of their own weight." At bottoms, however, markets require a significant increase in buying pressure, reflected in greater volume, to launch a new bull market. A more technical way of looking at this difference is that a market can fall just from inertia. Lack of demand or buying interest on the part of traders is often enough to push a market lower; but a market does not go up on inertia. Prices only rise when demand exceeds supply and buyers are more aggressive than sellers.
Is it a time for INTEL? 32 $ will be soon.The Intel Corporation (INTC) chart on NASDAQ illustrates the stock price dynamics from 2024 to July 2025. Initially, the price rose to a peak in the first half of 2024, followed by a significant decline, reaching its lowest point around 24 USD by the end of 2024. Since then, the price has been consolidating in the 24-26 USD range, which may signal preparation for a potential rebound.
The moving averages (MA) on the chart suggest a gradual convergence of lines, indicating a possible turning point. Oscillators at the bottom of the chart, such as RSI, may indicate oversold conditions, supporting the hypothesis of an upward move. The 26 USD level acts as a strong support, and breaking above 28-30 USD could pave the way to 34 USD, a previous resistance level.
A potential rise to 34 USD is plausible if the price maintains momentum and breaks through the resistance with sufficient volume.
Potential TP: 32 USD
Intel gets on radar after deal with NVDAIntel gets in play.
The deal announced with Nvidia had pushed the price higher substantially, for more than 3 values of daily volatility (measured in ATR). We can expect the momentum to go higher.
The move is happening in the context of Q2 results where revenue exceeded expectations, alongside management’s focus on cost cutting, asset sales, and streamlined operations. Investors were encouraged by Intel’s progress in repositioning toward higher-growth segments such as foundry services and AI, helping shift sentiment away from near-term EPS pressure toward long-term competitiveness.
Don't forget - this is just the idea, do your own reserch and never forget to manage your risk.
Intel INTC: Bullish Falling Wedge, Growth CatalystsNow is a great time to consider investing in Intel due to its strong fundamentals and positive industry catalysts. The company is benefiting from a major $5 billion investment by Nvidia and is ramping up significant U.S.-based manufacturing expansion backed by government support. Management’s turnaround efforts have improved financial stability, positioning Intel for potential strong earnings growth and stock price appreciation. Technically, Intel’s stock is forming a classic falling wedge pattern on the monthly chart, which often signals a bullish breakout ahead. This combination of solid fundamentals and constructive technicals makes Intel a compelling opportunity right now. Not financial advice (NFA).

INTC Intel Corporation Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought INTC before the recent rally:
Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of INTC Intel Corporation prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 25usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2026-1-16,
for a premium of approximately $1.83.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Intel | INTC | Long at $20This is going to be purely about technical analysis since Intel NASDAQ:INTC has a 90x P/E and has not proven themselves to be a viable challenger in the semiconductor market (yet...). Bad news could continue to destroy this ticker, but without that news, there could be some recovery in the near term.
The NASDAQ:INTC chart is in an overall downward trend. However, based on a few of my selected simply moving averages (SMAs), there is some predictability around support/resistance areas. Some of my favorite setups are a nice bounce on the lowest (green) selected SMA, occurring in October 2022 for a "rip then dip" to the second lowest (blue) - which it hit now. Often, but not always (I can't stress this enough), this green to blue SMA bounce represents a very strong support area during a downward trend. The other move is a further dip to retest the green SMA, but I suspect that would come with tremendously bad news for Intel... let's hope not, though.
Currently, NASDAQ:INTC is in a personal buy zone at $20.00 based on technical analysis only. A stop has been set if it drops below the blue SMA (which is may further test).
Target #1 = $28.00
Target #2 = $32.00
Target #3 = $60.00+ (very long-term, but high-risk unless fundamentals change)
Intel (INTC) silent accumulation pattern and projection of priceThe last time INTC broke out of its sideways range, it re-tested support three times.
After that, price surged upward, pulled back to the Centerline (an 80% probability move), and then began accumulating again within a sideways coil — or “Battery,” as I like to call it (see the TSLA example).
This setup looks similar now.
In fact, we even have a stronger filter: Price must first break out of the downsloping red Fork. Once that happens, we can expect a re-test of the upper median line (U-MLH). That’s the point where I decide whether or not to take a position.
My target is the Centerline of the grey “What If Fork.”
I want to emphasize that the inventor of the Forks highlighted this idea in his original course: always project and think, “What if…?” That’s exactly what I do — and maybe it will help you as well.
Let’s see if Intel’s “Battery” gives us a solid trade. §8-)

Intel Corp: Cost-Cutting and Altera Divestment
By Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades
In short: Intel Corp (NASDAQ: INTC) has cut its adjusted operating expense forecast for 2025 to $16.8 billion, down from the originally projected $17 billion. The adjustment comes after removing Altera, its programmable chips division, from its accounts, following the sale of a 51% stake to Silver Lake for $8.75 billion—a steep drop compared to the $17 billion Intel paid in 2015.
The transaction, completed on September 12, marks a strategic shift. Silver Lake contributed $3.3 billion in equity to take majority control, while Altera, during the first half of 2025, generated $816 million in revenue, a 55% gross margin, and $356 million in expenses.
Lip-Bu Tan Strategy (Balance Sheet Cleanup)
This move reflects Lip-Bu Tan’s strategy to clean up the balance sheet and redirect resources toward higher-potential businesses, at a time when the semiconductor sector is facing fierce competition from NVIDIA, AMD, and TSMC. The accounting impact is negative, as Intel sold at a significant depreciation compared to its acquisition price, but the relief in operating expenses could improve operating margins heading into 2026.
Another key factor is the increasing participation of the U.S. government, which has converted part of its subsidies into equity, now holding a 10% ownership stake. This strengthens Intel’s strategic role within the national semiconductor plan but also adds political pressure and heightened performance expectations.
Technical Analysis of Intel (Ticker AT: INTC.US)
Intel’s stock retraced from its 2024 highs of $50.60 into a range between $26.41 and $17.67, where it has traded since August last year through this year. Currently, the stock is trading around $25.27 in a clearly bullish move that began on August 1. This uptrend seems to be gaining traction, with a moving average crossover showing the 50-day MA acting as price support, while the 100-day MA has moved above the 200-day MA.
The Point of Control (POC) sits at the lower end of this range, around $20.12. The RSI currently indicates slightly overbought conditions at 61.28%, while the MACD, although above its histogram in negative territory, seems to be signaling potential exhaustion.
If positive momentum resumes, Intel would need to break strongly above the resistance at the upper end of its current range and test $30, a former support area with significant volume concentration. Conversely, if momentum fades, the current price consolidation could lose ground toward the indicated POC level. Meanwhile, ActivTrades US Market Pulse remains in neutral territory.
Cleanup Mode
Intel remains in “cleanup mode”, divesting and restructuring to strengthen its balance sheet and improve future profitability. However, the recent stock performance reflects investors’ skepticism regarding short-term results. The key will be whether Intel can stabilize margins and capture market share in high-growth segments against more agile competitors.

INTC Weekly – Long-Term Accumulation with 5-Year TargetINTC Weekly – Long-Term Accumulation with 5-Year Target
Intel (INTC) has been through a major downtrend since its 2021 peak, but the weekly chart suggests we may have found a structural bottom.
🔑 Key Levels
Support Zone: $27 (recent bottom), $23 major long-term floor.
Resistance: $40–42 (key breakout zone).
Upside Targets (Fibonacci Extensions):
$52–55 → prior supply zone.
$72 → full retracement of 2021 highs.
$87–90 → 127% extension.
$105–110 → 161% extension.
$119 → ultimate 5-year target.
📊 Technical Notes
Price bounced strongly from the 0.786 retracement near $27 with heavy accumulation volume.
Breakout above $40 could confirm a long-term reversal.
Risk remains if support at $27 fails → next major level is $23.
🎯 Outlook
This might take years, but the long-term structure favors accumulation. INTC is positioning to benefit from AI, chip manufacturing expansion, and U.S. semiconductor subsidies.
Bias: Accumulation in the $27–32 range, with long-term targets $72 → $119.
Intel monthly RSI div. Nvidia flippening coming?This stock interests me a lot rn.
From a health perspective right now, the company's not great. Tons of debt, no free cash flow, etc.
BUT, the US gov recently acquired a ~10% stake in the company, and Nvidia looks like it's starting to lose it's chip-making dominance, particularly as China literally just announced a ban on buying Nvidia chips this week. The US Gov is ultimately going to want to see a return on that investment too.
I think this could give Intel an opportunity to fill the domestic chip-making gap if Nvidia starts to unwind. Obviously this is just my blue sky, hopium thinking here. I have zero idea how this will actually play out. All I know is, Nvidia is wildly overvalued and due for a correction, while Intel is comparably much cheaper and has US Gov backing.
This, coupled with a strong monthly RSI divergence, makes me think that it won't be long before we COULD see INTC stock retrace back to its ATH ~$70+.
NFA, DYOR.
If you have a similar theory, or an opposing argument, let me know in the comments.
Intel + NVIDIA = Chip Avengers?This move from NVIDIA is giving me major déjà vu. It reminds me of 1997, when Apple shocked the world by teaming up with their “enemy,” Microsoft. Back then, Apple fans literally booed when Steve Jobs announced the deal on stage. Jobs had to calm everyone down and say, “We have to let go of this notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose.”
That $150M investment from Microsoft kept Apple alive long enough to reinvent itself, iMacs, iPods, iPhones the rest is history. Microsoft got what it wanted too: a healthy second platform to run Office and keep regulators happy. Two rivals, both winning.
Fast forward to now, NVIDIA investing in Intel feels just as weird at first glance, but strategically it’s brilliant. Intel has fabs all over the world. NVIDIA, for all its dominance in GPUs, still relies heavily on third-party fabs like TSMC. This stake is about more than money it’s about NVIDIA securing extra manufacturing capacity and reducing supply chain risk.
For Intel, this is huge. It puts them back in the conversation as a critical player in the AI arms race, not just a company that’s “fallen behind.” Investors now have a reason to see Intel as part of the solution, not part of the past.
Technically, the chart agrees. We’ve broken out of a multi-month range on massive volume, reclaimed VWAP, and opened up a clear path toward $33–34 (Target 1) and $36–38 (Target 2) over the next couple of quarters. A retest of $28 would be a gift for dip buyers as long as $26 holds, this breakout remains intact.
Bottom line: two rivals teaming up isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strategic brilliance. Just like 1997, this could mark the start of Intel’s reinvention story.
