Semis swinging nicely in this range bound pitchfork. Volatility increase near the outer bounds, and we are almost there. Clear 5 wave count to conclude at the long term bullish trend line. This is my short term trade to the downside using SOXS 3x bear, and will reevaluate my next move when this target is hit. There's still a long term bull target on most indexes...
- semis look better than housing (HGX) - and it seems that we still have a chance for tech sector to grow - Weekly RSI did not violated the 30 level
not a clear sign on long term yet... short term things may go well for certain semis.
Semiconductors are important sector for overall market, clear count
Although I rarely trade the semis anymore, I always watch them as leading indicators for the rest of the market. Currently holding LRCX puts. A lot of bullish sediment this last week however the bulls are still yet to undo a lot of the technical damage done by the bears this year. On the chart I have highlighted some key areas to watch. Remember this is a monthly...
Here's a ratio chart of semiconductors versus the SP500 which suggests that we could still expect some decent upside from semiconductors and technology in general despite it's out performance over the last few years. It's too early for me with this one but I will be looking out for any decent moves upwards.
Strong bull triangle and continuation if crossing orange support
Looks like a big drop coming. Uptrend broken and looks like we are in a diamond reversal pattern. Targeting the previous lows at least, and expecting sideways chop after that.
Watch the correlation between Nasdaq Index and Philadelphia Semiconductor Index
Update: possible sell momentum below 1340. If WS will openwith a gap down, i will wait the recover and will seek the best prices near 1340
Intraday setup
Possible bearish head and shoulders with direct consequences on USA equities first and world global indexes in general
SOX break down doesn't bode well for the markets. The day isn't over so will need to see how it closes over the next 1-2 days.
