$nvda Capitulation? Last line of support! NVIDIA$NVDA is on its last leg of support, if it loses this area we are looking at $115 as the next support level HOWEVER, I'm spotting signals of capitulation as I highlighted in yellow - steep decline with elevated volume. In the past NVIDIA usually bounces after this type of price action and we have now touched the bottom of this descending supportive channel that its respected since last summer. Fear is looming. Are you buying this blood?

Nvidia draws attention back to Pelosi's stock picks Stock investments by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, are again in the spotlight after shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) declined again after the pair reduced their interest in the semiconductor company. Pelosi is the first female Speaker of the US House of Representatives and second in line to the presidency (after Vice President Kamala Harris). Considering her very public position, her financial matters and by extension, her husband's, always attract attention. In July, the couple sold 25,000 Nvidia shares in a transaction valued between $1 million and $5 million. The shares were sold at $165.05 apiece, reflecting a loss of $340,000. On Sept. 1, Nvidia fell 18.3%, and if not for the July transaction, the Pelosis would have lost $753,000, the news platform added. While the decision may have just been due to good investor instinct, it is being marred by controversies. The filing of a bill in Congress, as well as a visit in Taiwan are making it harder to simply brush some of the controversies under the rug. Semiconductor Boost Paul Pelosi invested in Nvidia on June 17 with the exercise of 200 call options for shares in the company at a price of $100 per share. The transaction was also valued between $1 million and $5 million.. It came at a time when the CHIPS Act is tabled for approval in Congress. The bill, which President Biden signed into law in August, aims to strengthen domestic semiconductor manufacturing, design and research. According to TechRepublic, the law will provide $52 billion for semiconductor manufacturing incentives and research investments, as well as a 25% investment tax credit for semiconductor manufacturing, which would be a great help to companies like Nvidia. New York Post columnist Charles Gasparino labelled the investment the "latest home run" for Pelosi, who Gasparino wrote, "has been killing it in the stock market in recent years," winning with companies that benefit from governmental legislation. Congresswoman Pelosi supported the CHIPS Act. Following the July sale, people have started singing a different tune that the transaction may have been done to alleviate conflict of interest concerns. Or it could be another smart investment move. Nvidia fell nearly 3% at close of trading Sept. 2. It has been on the red that week, likely due to the US government's restriction of the company's sales to China. Another event connecting the House Speaker to the semiconductor industry is her visit to Taiwan on Aug. 2. The visit, which according to BBC was "strongly condemned" by China, involved a meeting with Mark Liu, chairman of the world's biggest chipmaker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. or TSMC (TPE: 2330). Other Investments Aside from Nvidia, the Pelosis have other investments in public companies. Business Insider reported in July that they have shares in companies including: AllianceBernstein (NYSE: AB), the class A (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and C stocks (NASDAQ: GOOG) of Alphabet, Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), American Express (NYSE: AXP), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Paypal (NASDAQ: PYPL), Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM), Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), Visa (NYSE: V), Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), and Warner Bros. Discovery Series A (WNASDAQ: WBD). Speaker Pelosi's involvement in these companies prompted a legislation that would prohibit members of the US Congress from trading stocks. After months of resistance, Pelosi dropped opposition of the proposed legislation. Insider included the House Speaker in its list of 25 richest members of Congress, with a net worth of at least $46.1 million. Amid insinuations that this may have something to do with information she passes on to help her husband with his investment decisions, the congresswoman told reporters in July that this was never the case.

Follow Through on Head and Shoulders X2I was bearish on NVDA through earnings because of a couple signals I was monitoring. 1) large head and shoulders (or double top) formed on hourly. 2) Smaller head and shoulder on the 15m played through to the 162% just before earnings. 3) I charted my reasons for being short NVDA. Bitcoin dropped from 48k to 20k since Jan. Less Miners = Less Demand for Video Cards. Higher Dollar = Lower Bottomline Let me put on my tinfoil hat for a second and tell you what I think about Bitcoin short term outlook. My thoughts for September can be found here. In short... I'm leaning to the downslide. Not Financial Advice. I'm just a punny guy.

NVDA: Will pull back soon, but bullish longtermNVDA provided a textbook 5-wave impulsive move off the low. The 3rd wave tagged the 1.618 extension and the 5th wave has reached the 2.0 extension. This move has been very clean. However, the fibonacci extensions have been reached and now momentum is beginning to fade (see MACD). That being said, I expect NVDA to pullback over the next 2-3 weeks. I would like to see price retrace to the .5 - .618 retracement levels, filling the gaps in an A-B-C pattern, followed by a push back above the Wave 1 high. If this happens, the price target for wave 3 will be in the 240-250 range.

What Would Happen to Bitcoin if China Attacks Taiwan?Since last week the media has published videos and Chinese politicians' statements about the Chinese military drills near Taiwan. Taiwan has also conducted military exercises and preparatory work with the civilian population in the event of an attack. On August 3, the NYT, quoting Chinese state media, published an article about the following Chinese military drills scheduled on August 4 and a place of exercises. Chinese media offered five swaths of the sea surrounding Taiwan. If true, it can be a hostile act, possibly igniting conflict between China and unrecognized Taiwan. Both countries are essential for the world economy, meaning the conflict would affect markets. I hope it will not happen . However, this risk urged me to start a series of posts ' What would happen to asset_name if China attacks Taiwan? ' A brief: China is the second economy in the world by nominal GDP. Taiwan is the heart of semiconductor manufacturing for all industries across the globe. In my opinion, Bitcoin today is a risk appetite indicator, which regularly mimics or outpaces changes in the notable stock indexes, e.g., S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite. The risk realization would trigger risk aversion pushing the BTC price to the last local support level of $19000. The stop-loss is the previous local high of $24500. However, the level can slightly differ from the spot price. The main risk is conflict duration. The longer the conflict exists, the more sanctions I expect. I can't predict how long Taiwan can fight and what sanctions will be imposed. I doubt that sensitive restrictions would be imposed during the first days. I also doubt that the US will impose harsh sectoral sanctions if China takes over Taiwan quickly. If the conflict would last several months, I suppose bitcoin could drop significantly to $14000. The position holding period is 7 days to next Thursday. If the bad doesn't happen, it is better to close the short position. However, we do not know the date. Solely China knows the exact date if the plan exists. The risk could realize during the next 7 days or be postponed to next month or even later. If the risk realizes later, I expect the same effect on the BTC, and only target adjustments could be needed. Additionally, the potential conflict would seriously weigh on crypto mining activity because of semiconductor manufacturing termination in Taiwan. A probable semiconductors' deficit leads to the rise of GPU's price in the midterm, elevating mining costs. Miners would have to adapt to the new reality. I wish you peace! Thank you for your reading, and have profitable trading! Comment your thoughts!

one minor hickup for broader marketssemiconductors have been a lead bear in this downturn since december, and a lead bull on the monthly bounce from the lows since july. if we roll over here setting a lower high on this etf around the first upper horizontal i would look for broader markets to consolidate on the daily. if we treat pivot as support i would target the upper horizontal and look for continuation in broader markets. most likely scenario is a gap down followed by a rally to close with price action after to be determined.

Is AMD due for a correction?NASDAQ:AMD AMD had a good run into the earnings season however news is that with the expected or present recession semiconductors as a subsector will fall a bit heading into the third quarter. The chart shows buy order blocks as a support are far less than sell order blocks. The MACD , a lagging indicator, shows the K/D lines crossing over the histogram. My idea is to take a call option contract for a strike 5% below the present price. Setting a stop loss at 10% of the option price taking profit when the AMD stock approaches above the closest buy order block at about $ 98.45. Do you have call options to suggest?

SOXS to SOXL ratio DAILY CHARTAMEX:SOXL This chart strives to setup a trading plan where the SOXS and SOXL are oscillated. They are 3X leveraged ETFs with great range. SOXS was up 400% YTD at its peak. The new CHIPS ACT is a catalyst for US semiconductor manufactures Right now the ratio is on a downtrend, meaning Sell SOXS or BUY SOXL or a combination of each. I believe that this strategy could yield 5X annually to investors or long-term swing traders with little effort especially if an alert is employed to notify the ratio is changing trend direction at a pivot. The timeframe could be lower but then the number of trades is likely to increase as is the amount of profit. This could be backtested by those familiar with the mechanics of doing so.

Are Semiconductors Stalling?The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ripped about 29 percent between early July and early August, but now it may be showing signs of fatigue. The first pattern on this chart is last Thursday’s peak of 3087 -- slightly below the early June high of 3159. That lower high is potentially noteworthy when compared with the broader Nasdaq-100, which pushed above the respective level on its chart to the highest since early May. It could be sign of relative weakness for chips. Next is Monday’s doji candlestick, a potential reversal pattern. Also notice how SOX appears to have broken a rising trendline. Third, the Relative Strength Index has retreated from near an overbought condition. Finally, you have an increasingly mediocre news flow . Nvidia’s warning yesterday, combined with similar news from Intel and Western Digital , may reflect less-than-stellar fundamentals in chip stocks. Given the market’s healthy bounce and falling volatility, SOX may not retest the 2022 lows. But it may have lost its mojo and chop around for a while as investors seek outperformance in other corners of the market.
