MAG7 MODEL Rally is going to be in the form of ABC up The chart posted is the Mag 7 .I feel strong that the super cycle Top in the mag 7 was seen like January 2000 in the internet Bubble . I am counting a clean 5 waves down and see a strong ABC rally phase like that in 2000 then we dropped about 30% in the first leg down followed by a huge Bearish rally back up first leg up moved to the 50% retracement and then had a abc down for wave b of B to be followed up to .618 of the decline to form THE B Wave TOP . I am looking forward in my work and my models to see a near prefect rematch in the formation . I stated in my dec 8th forecast How the market will unfold based on the Wave structure and cycles and the DATA . We are now set for that abc rally . next turn date in spirals in 3/28 best of trades WAVETIMER
SMH
$SMH/$NAS100 is clearly in a bearish patternThe semiconductor sector was the poster child of the 2023 & 2024 bull market. The cap weighted index is a momentum play with heavy weights like NASDAQ:NVDA and NASDAQ:AVGO outperforming and hence the ETF gives more than 100% return in 2 years.
NASDAQ100 index is also cap weighted and momentum oriented. But the index provides diversification to a certain extent. NASDAQ:SMH hit an ATH in June 2024. In this chart we are plotting the ratio of NASDAQ:SMH vs $NAS100. The ratio peaked in June 2024. The ratio is making new lower lows and lower highs.
If we plot the inverse head and shoulder, we see that the ratio can probably hit the neckline which lies at 0.01. This will indicate a 10% more downside in NASDAQ:SMH compared to $NAS100. Currently NASDAQ:SMH is at 226 $. This will indicate a low of 200 $ and then it might indicate a bounce back from those levels.
Consolidation of NASDAQ:SMH around 220 $ - 200 $.
$AVGO almost down 30% Since the AI trade took hold of the S&P and NASDAQ the 2 stocks which we poster child in the AI trade were NASDAQ:NVDA and $AVGO. Out of the 100% of the real AI revenue done by Semis almost 15-20% is attributed to Broadcom $AVGO.
After the last quarter results the stock gapped up more than 20% and reached an ATH of 250 $ from the lows of 170 $. This week the stock almost touched 170 $. The Gap got filled as they usually do. So as usual in the technical patterns world the previous tops become support. The 200 Day SMA is at 178 $. I think between 170 $ and 180 $ is the accumulation zone for $AVGO. Tomorrow, being the earnings date of NASDAQ:AVGO we should watch out for volatility after the earnings. An implied move of +/- 10% in the price of NASDAQ:AVGO can happen after the earnings.
All in all, buy NASDAQ:AVGO between 170 $ - 180 $.

This is crazy that 1 stock may be the pain or gain for the markets in 2025
Glass Half Full

It's a big deal - plan and trade accordingly. Thanks for watching!!!
$INTC Nice Long Base – Ready to Breakout?NASDAQ:INTC oh how the mighty fall from grace. But so much for nostalgia. INTC has been basing since August 2024 for over 6 months. It looks like it has support around $19. It has tried to get moving a few times but no go.
Today it has tested both the longer term and shorter-term downtrend lines (DTL). It is testing today on the news that JD VANCE said AI will be built in the US. I have tried this name before and have been stopped out for a small loss. I have an alert set on the long term DTL. Should that trigger, I will want a convincing close above it. Looks to me, risk is well defined with a stop under $19. At current price that is about an 11% Stop Loss. Too much for me, so I would go to a lower timeframe to see if there is a better Risk Reward stop. All TBD.
I am only posting this because I like the longer base and thought you might want it on your watchlist as well.
This is my idea, if you like it, make it your own to fit “your” trading plan.
Opening (IRA): SMH February 21st 195/220/270/295 Iron Condor... for a 3.91 credit.
Comments: Back into the semiconductor ETF, where I don't have a position on currently. Going comparatively low delta, with the short options camped out at the 17 delta on both sides and the wings about 1/10th the price of the underlying in width.
Metrics:
Max Profit: 3.91
Buying Power Effect: 21.09
ROC at Max: 18.54%
50% Max: 1.96
ROC at 50% Max: 9.27%
Will generally look to take profit at 50% max, roll untested side in toward current price on side test.
$CRWD closing above 20 Day SMA $ and FIB Retracement levelsThe bellwether cybersecurity cos Crowdstrike had a very bad 2024 after the disastrous failed upgrade which caused major outages globally. Yesterday the stock closed at 408 $ which is at an ATH. Today in a week market it is still above the 20 Day SMA @ 362 $ and the 1.0 Fib retracement level @ 396 $. If these key support levels hold it is good idea to go long on $CRWD. In our Daily Dose of Chart : 07 Jan 2025 we spoke about a bullish Head and shoulders pattern. But this pattern is now invalidated. So, within the tech sector we are seeing intra sector rotation with NASDAQ:NVDA @ its 200 Day SMA support and NASDAQ:CRWD @ ATH. I think this weakness in Semis vs Cybersecurity will continue for some time. Please check out my post on 27th Jan for NASDAQ:NVDA trade idea.
NVDA closes below 200 Day SMANASDAQ:NVDA had a very bad day today with more than 550 billion $ Market Cap destroyed. This is one of the worst days for NVDA since March 2020. The 200 Da SMA price was 122 $. NVDA closed @ 118 $. This makes it a daily close below the 200 Day SMA. There might be some more downside and sideways movement before it starts a bullish upward trend before its earnings release on Feb 26. 6-12 Months down the line this might be one of the best buying opportunities. Long NVDA 110 $ - 120 $.
NVDA vs SMH @ 100 Day SMAToday we are plotting the ratio chart of NVDA vs the semiconductor ETF SMH on a weekly basis. NVDY/SMH i3 at 100 Day SMA because as the rally in NDY has stalled out while other Semi stocks are having a bull run form the recent lows. The semi cap equipment companies had a bad year last year. So within semis people re going for low Market Cap stocks and the recent underperformers.
But in the last 5 years, the ratio chart always bounced back from its 100- and 200-Day SMA. Sq this might be an accumulating zone for NVDA believers.
SMH @ 200 Day SMAAs we have always said Semis are the new transports. SMH hit the 200 Day SMA on the daily chart. It has been forming a symmetrical wedge pattern. It has an equal opportunity to break out towards upside or downside. The RSI has been oscillating between 60 and 40 since Nov 2024. Watchout the SMH chart to confirm if stock market bull market is intact.
Opening (IRA): SMH February 21st 200/225/270/295 Iron Condor... for a 5.44 credit.
Comments: At 42 DTE, selling premium in the semiconductor exchange-traded fund here with a neutral assumption ... . Using wings that are 1/10th of the price of the underlying in width.
Metrics:
Max Profit: 5.44
Buying Power Effect: 19.56
ROC at Max: 27.8%
50% Max: 2.67
ROC at 50% Max: 13.9%
Will generally look to take profit at 50% max; roll in untested side on side test.
SMH - What if this Medianline-Set holds evidence?The upward momentum changed when price closed and opened below the white L-MLH.
The rules say, that when price is leaving the Fork, open and close outside, we can expect a test/retest at the L-MLH.
This is exactly what happened.
Shorts got squeezed by a GAPer of the Market Makers move. And I admit, I could imagine a further rise for a third test at the L-MLH.
However, SMH is being observed very closely from now on.
Daily dose of Chart :Intrasector rotation with Tech. SMH vs HACKEven if the XLK (Tech sector ETF) hitting all time highs. But within the sector we see major rotation from Semis to Software to Cyber security. Last 6 months the Semis underperformed the Cybersecurity sector. But this has flipped recently on the daily basis. There is a bullish head and shoulders pattern forming on the SMH / HACK.
CHIP SECTOR TO CRASH SMH The chart posted is the SMH we are now in the final 5th wave and it is a classic 5th wave Diagonal in the 5th wave wave to form a double top into fib cycle peak .From here we should see a major break down in All chip stocks into Oct 2025 but we should see the first leg down low march 10/20th 2025 this should be a Very Bearish action world wide see spy and qqq as well . This is the warning to All traders EXIT INTO RALLIES THE BEST OF TRADES WAVETIMER

Is $AMD a massive buy opportunity for 2025?Is NASDAQ:AMD a massive buy opportunity for 2025?
AMD is doing great financially/fundamentally with chips that is 2nd to NVDA. In addition, their data center revenues are growing exponentially.
It is a probably a great buying opportunity here at $121 going into 2025.
