SOX Update (weekly chart)SOX, as well as the broader XLK, has diverged somewhat from SPY, and remains stubbornly above the 52 week EMA. The red D point is a longer term Gartley target based on a 61.8% retrace from point C.
However, it is still in an Ichimoku resistance area, and has potential to reverse.
Key support areas are;
1) 2854 -2794 DOJI, and potential pivot area
2) 2848-2742 Blue Point B, a prior swing high and potential pivot area
3) 2838 Gann Confluence Point and potential support
Should pivot areas 1) and 2) above fail, the final point to watch is the Gann Confluence around 2838. A fail below this point would be bearish. Also, an extended stay below the 52 week EMA would be bearish.
Presently the chart sits above the longer term downtrend set from 1/22 high to 10//22 low and has a ways to go before that channel should continue.

SMH - It's not as bad as you think.....SMH closed today at 234.30, above the Ichimoku Cloud and well above the downtrend channel set from 2022 high to low (grey shaded area). SMH has clearly broken out of this channel, has successfully retested. I see next low at 232.40, which is a Gann confluence line, and then a move back upwards (point D). The reason I see a bounce is that the RSI is approaching oversold on the daily at the confluence line.
Have we broken the bear downtrend? Looks like it to me. In order to resume the bear trend, we would at least need to drop at least to 175 (another Gann Confluence line), which would only take us to approximately the top of the down channel. That would be a 25.6% drop from today's close. If we want to continue the bear trend, then we would need to take out 166.97, the October low, which would be a 28.7% decline from today's close.
Is it possible that we drop another 25 - 28% from here? Of course, anything is possible. However, I don't see it as probable, unless there is a BLACK SWAN event, which no one can predict in any event (by definition). I know that many semi companies have laid off employees, and taken their pill. So future earnings reports may exceed expectations, although product demand remains an uncertainty. But I don't see a 25% drop from here in Semis on organics alone.
SOX Update (daily chart)SOX has been diverging from SPY last couple of days, which is unusual. SOX had 50/200 EMA xover Friday. SOX is extended, could pull back to prior swing high at 2913 (-3.25%) where there is good support. Watch these tech stocks with earnings coming up next 10 days, all daily charts look bullish (except CSCO, which is debatable). All also have positive point & figure price targets (from Stockcharts.com). ADI (2/15), ADSK (2/13), AMAT(2/16), ANET (2/13), CDNS (2/13), CSCO(2/15), KEYS (2/21), NVDA(2/22).
RSI(9) has been trending up since 1/9. As long as daily RSI(9) stays above 50%, trend may continue.
Possible Price Movement For S&P500 Week Of 2/13/2023...Major bounce on Monday is likely and a major price drop on Tuesday is also likely... Happy trading!
Significantly Over Valued Nvidia.. Nvidia along with many other stocks were pumped up over 100% from the recent October low. I believe this is a bull trap and a bear market rally in a really big down trend. I am not biased but I just believe stocks are running up towards a cliff. Right now there are on the edge IMO.
SOX UpdateI have no problem with bold predictions, reversals I do well. SOX has historically led out of the gates on reversals. SOX has broken the downtrend, and successfully tested a Gartley retrace. While we still have an Ichy cloud resistance overhhead, I believe the market bottom is in. Will there be another selloff? Likely. However, I believe a new market bottom lower than the October low in SPY is unlikely. We also have financials (XLF) and Industrials (XLI) showing a similar trend reversal. So lets pull for more green shoots.
October rally ready to resume?If you have been anticipating a resumption in the October rally, this may be the trigger. The SMH/SOX is the (I believe) the last of the major indicies to still have a gap left unfilled. If it closes today (or this week), then maybe we can get going to the upside. Some resource stocks have already started their ascent (GDX, SILJ, UUUU, UEC, NXE, etc.)

$SOX Looking at a long term Bear$SOX has long been the growth engine of the $SPY. It has now entered a bear phase, being well below the 12 month SMA on the monthly chart, which now serves as resistance. We may be witnessing a paradigm shift in the market, where commodities, precious metals, and staples lead the market and the old growth stocks, lag. I hold no hope out for semiconductors at the moment.
TSM will breach support and continue lowerThere is no better crystal ball to predict the future performance of an asset than its own chart.
Keeping it simple, TSM broke bellow a 15-month lateral range, and several days later failed to reconquer the lost grounds. It's been under distribution, and the last candle is the most bearish.
TSM won't be able to hold at support and will continue lower.
