SMH Update (daily chart)SMH recently peaked at 151.71 on May 30, leaving behind two gaps for potential fill in an area of low volume (yellow volume profile highlight). I am expecting a selloff into the gap areas, which also are at key fib levels.
5/30: peak = 151.71
143.89 = 76% fib (Touched today, and 5.2% off peak)
139.05 = 61.8% fib ( 8.3% off peak)
135.14 = 50% fib (10.9% off peak)
The volume profile is based on quarter to date activity, March - today, June 5. I do not expect a bounce off today's low, the 61.8 % or 50% fib areas look more realistic to me.
SMH NVDA SPY & QQQ | Long Term Outlook Resistance Guide- SMH weaker than QQQ today potentially setting daily lower high but bears need more follow through at the moment
- NVDA still potential 4h head and shoulders pattern if we confirm more downside
- SPY very nearing 0.618 fib resistance we saw some money rotate from tech into SPY in the last two days making breath better
- QQQ bull flag confirm still super strong every trend is healthy no closed just at the golden pocket resistance. Most likely scenario is weekly consolidation in the next coming weeks.
Is the bullish run on tech stocks done? check out QCOMAfter taking out the October and November lows, QCOM has surged to activate a Fake Break Down reversal pattern, as well as an odd looking island reversal pattern, leaving behind almost the entire month of May's trading days. It might need a breather here as it runs into some short term resistance, but I'm long.... 🤷♂️
SPY & QQQ indecision Day | Support & Resistance Guide - SPY back tested prior resistance and so far held it triple bottom today on 5m time frame around 417 range
- Key question is which way do we break on Monday if we break bear we can potentially go back into our 1.5 month long chop zone.
- Can SPY hold this support zone if QQQ consolidates/slight pullback next week?
- first day we see SMH a slow down a bit versus QQQ
SPY & QQQ Bull Break - Can we Trust this Move?- SPY trading double top at FOMC reaction highs from April
- QQQ Clear breakout but AAPL didn't participate that much
- Money rotating from AAPL into GOOGL and AMZN
- NASDAQ rising wedge still in play, but QQQ broke out of the rising wedge
- SOXX semi sector at potential H&S resistance, if it breaks out will give QQQ more fuel for upside.
- NVDA new 52 week high in sell zone now.
SMH Weekly Update (post split)I'm updating my prior SMH weekly chart, since we had a 2 for 1 split in SMH last week and it totally messed my chart up.
Key points (dates are all weekly):
3/27: 131.79 (most recent peak)
4/24: 118.57 ( most recent low) -10.03% off the peak
5/1 close: 124.38 -5.6% off the peak
Gann confluence line 1: 121.71 -7.6% off peak
Gann confluence line 2: 114.46 -13.1% off peak
The green trend lines indicate an apex forming right along the Gann rays (salmon colored lines) suggesting a directional resolution is near.
After extending to the purple point D, which is almost a 1.218 Gartley extension, support appears to be holding at the 121.71 Gann Confluence support line. This line is also the top ridge of the Ichimoku cloud which can also serve as support. Should SMH rise off this support, then we would have had a 7.6% correction off the most recent high.
Should current support break down, we would see a target of Gann support 2 which is 114.46, or 13.1% off most recent peak.
Pros for upside breakout: A possible rate cut currently being predicted by SOFR futures as early as June or July. Banking turmoil could also call for a pause or cut. A reduction in rates would also signal easier monetary conditions which would benefit growth oriented stocks for a near term spike.
Pros for a breakdown: Further hawkishness in the FED, combined with Bank Solvency fears. Seasonality: from 2004 to 2023 the SMH has finished the month of June higher only 42% of the time, the worst month in the year.
Observation: The 12 month RSI, while positive at 57.16, is declining from a near term double top, and showing some weakness in trend. I would watch for continuing weakness in SMH momentum on the daily chart, as well as the breadth inside the SMH holdings. You can do this with flipcharts on the Barchart.com site. Presently, while I see a few stalwarts, I am also seeing a lot of breakdowns inside the SMH ETF. For example, MCHP, a very well run company with solid financials, just reported good earnings beats, yet it sank below its 200 day MA and has a weak daily RSI(9) of 42.11. Personally, I would not long any semiconductors until late summer and signs of turmoil have resolved.
SPX & NADSAQ | KRE Fear Low | FOMC| AMD NVDA| Technical AnalysisRed flag 1: SP:SPX & SKILLING:NASDAQ did not break close above Key resistance yesterday
New fear low in AMEX:KRE regional banks, fear of snowing balling into something substantial
NASDAQ:AMD poor Q2 guidance down 6% AH dragging NASDAQ:NVDA to break its 280 support.
FOMC 11pm PST tomorrow 0.25 hike 90% chance.
Shorting NASDAQ:SOXX in AMEX:SOXS
NVDA & NSADAQ Key Resistance Analysis into FOMC Wednesday- Personally i think NVDA is overvalued but markets can stay overvalue for longer than you think and vice versa
- if we do get a quick reversal here from NVDA than it would be a bull trap right no zero signs of that.
- strong 15m EMA 12 guide for NVDA
- NVDA outperforming SMH and QQQ
- NASDAQ broke above resistance no follow through
- SPX did not break above resistance need both to break.
- AMD ER tomorrow AH
LRCX - building momentumSince Earnings a clear accumulation Consolidation pattern has been unfolding.
If the Indices weren't so extended and into resistance this would be a prime candidate to go long.
Watching Lam Research closely as it has good technical setup if we get a pullback in the market.
This is a longer weekly pattern so it takes some time to play out.
Semi Sector Analysis | $NVDA $AMD $SMH | Support & Resistance |- NASDAQ:NVDA still lead bull in the NASDAQ:SMH sector you can see AMD already has been dropping
- NVDA clear resistance 280 rejected multiple times
- SMH holding above its weekly support, 13 cents away from breaking on Friday.
- NASDAQ:MSFT and NASDAQ:GOOGL ER Tuesday AH will drag SMH which everyway the earnings come in.
SMH Semiconductors update (weekly) Key areas to watch Semiconductors finally showing some topping pattern, amidst topping RSI (12) that failed to reach the high 70 channel and a shrinking trend of volume. In effect, weakening momentum.
The first level is 244.71, which is a Gann confluence and also a prior pivot (left yellow circle), and is a 7.1% decline off the most recent peak of 263.57. This would take it to the top of the red cloud which could serve as some support.
The second level to watch is 229.18 (right yellow circle) , which is another Gann Confluence, and also a prior pivot, which would be 13.04% off the peak of 263.57. This would take SMH well into the cloud, which could create some future resistance.
Seasonality is at play, so I would expect a rebound in late summer, although there are many factors which could disrupt any projections any farther out and I do not feel worth making now.
$TSLA Weekly Downtrend Confirmed, $QQQ S&R Analysis - NASDAQ:TSLA broke weekly support confirmed weekly downtrend

SMH BULLISH COUNT STILL NEEDS 269/271 MINI have covered ALL SHORTS TODAY BASED ON this chart I still have a second C wave up to end the double zig zag . I know we have two legs up that are equal to the high but the structure down is corrective and back to 50% I will allow for a last wave up but cycles are running on fumes !!!
Friday 14APRIL2023 - NVDA Bearish ObsevationsTraders,
In this video I discuss my stance on NVDA and its relative NVDS (-1.25 Bear Directional ETF). I also discuss some other bearish patterns I am seeing on the charting.
This will be my last video on Trading View Unfortunately.
Good luck out there everyone.
OVER AND OUT
NVDA Future Long Term Outlook | $QQQ | Bank Earnings kick off- NASDAQ:NVDA shaping up a H&S bearish pattern on daily time frame
- NASDAQ:SMH / SOXX semi sector relatively weaker than NASDAQ:QQQ & $NASDAQ. that's why im still holding onto SOXS
- When lead bull sectors starts to turn into more bearish we have to be careful with the other sectors. So far it is showing relative weakness but not too big of a divergence yet.
- Bank earnings will not directly effect QQQ and SMH but will indirectly effect sentiment and if SPY drops a lot so will tech stocks and vice versa.
PPI Data | Bank Earnings | $QQQ Bear Break | - CPI came in 5%, personally i think it was pretty much priced in due to us knowing well ahead of data release at 5.1%
- PPI data tomorrow 530am EST
- bank earnings pre-market Friday.
- NASDAQ:QQQ & AMEX:SPY bear break, need SP:SPX to join SKILLING:NASDAQ tomorrow.
- still holding my AMEX:SOXS , shorting the NASDAQ:SMH /SOXX sector
CPI Data | FOMC Minutes | $QQQ tightening Range- Fed minutes Wed 2pm EST
- CPI Wed 530 EST
- PPI Thursday 530 EST
- added initial positions for AMEX:SOXS looking to add more if we get flat or lower CPI data then 5.1%. shorting the NASDAQ:SMH / NASDAQ:SOXX sector.
- we have been tightening up in an equilibrium since last Wednesday will very likely break tomorrow.
- NASDAQ:QQQ / AMEX:SPY will be using stair stepping candles as a guide to how to trade when data is release.
SPY & QQQ Key Zone to watch- Does QQQ hourly oversold mark the bottom of the daily consolidation low or bear take it lower tomorrow?
- March 28 hourly oversold on QQQ marked the bottom of that consolidation and we had a large bounce.
- SPY closed around yesterdays lows which is in the resistance zone
- took profit on my SOXS this morning re-added on the hourly bounce. SMH/SOXX still weaker then QQQ
SPY Daily Consolidation Resistance Zone 411-415- Yesterday's video i talked about SPY very likely having a pull back into this resistance zone
- now daily consolidation is on its way for SPY, will QQQ join
- looking to see if bulls will be buying up that hourly time frame oversold RSI, and market the low of the daily consolidation.
- Still holding my SOXX short - SOXS 3x leverage ETF
