SMH trade ideas
SMH to $191 Anchored in 2018 FibThis is a very long-term view of SMH. You can see the FIB that is in play which is anchored at $41 in December of 2018. We ran up all the way to just about $160 in December of 2021. We had a hard pullback to $84 and did a fast turn around, again to $160, in July of 2023.
We retraced almost perfectly to the 50% of that move to $136 and we are now in the uptrend of that move, which we hit that .272 extension of at $166.
We pulled back and are now heading for the 272 extension at $190, anchored way back in 2018. We may get there pretty quick and I would not be surprised if we peak out over the top of the channel to do it.

Cup & Handle Pattern The NASDAQ:SMH (Semiconductor ETF) is exhibiting a Cup & Handle pattern in technical analysis. This bullish continuation pattern involves a rounded bottom (cup) followed by a consolidation period (handle). Investors often anticipate an upward breakout after the handle formation, suggesting potential positive price movement in semiconductor stocks.
$SMH Looking for Gap Fill?The semiconductor sector has been on fire since bottoming out at the end of October. In fact, the low to the high in November was just over 21%! Some consolidation of those gains would be healthy.
I am looking for the NASDAQ:SMH ETF to fill the gap from Nov 14th. I am not predicting that it will however, I am thinking that is a good possibility. I have an alert set just above the gap fill. If that triggers, I will be looking for a reversal back up for a long entry. All TBD. NASDAQ:SOXX is a similar ETF with a similar pattern so whichever one you prefer I think is worth putting on a watchlist.

$SMH upward mean reversion incoming…$SMH:1D
Signal sitting just above the -3SD (136.46) and needs to reverse trend in order to maintain the strength of the longterm linear regression trend at 0.91 Pearson R^2. Given the strength of the multi-year trend, an attempt at an upward mean reversion to the 161.17 price region is not unreasonable to expect going into the end of the year.
I would expect resistance at the 0.5 Retrace (148.69) to the upside and trend could withstand a move down to the 1.382 (132.93) before trend began to ‘shatter’.
We have a minor bullish price/RSI divergence with price printing lower lows and RSI printing higher lows.

$SMH Cup & Handle Pattern ### Technical Analysis Overview: VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF ( NASDAQ:SMH ) – Cup & Handle Formation on Weekly Chart
The VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF ( NASDAQ:SMH ), which tracks the performance of the semiconductor sector, is currently exhibiting a classic Cup & Handle pattern on its weekly chart. This pattern is a significant indicator in technical analysis, often suggesting a potential bullish continuation.
#### Understanding the Cup & Handle Pattern
The Cup & Handle is a bullish chart pattern that typically forms during an uptrend and is indicative of a period of consolidation followed by a potential breakout. It consists of two main parts:
1. **The Cup**: This part of the pattern represents a period of consolidation, starting with a gradual decline in price, followed by a bottoming out and a recovery back to the starting level. The cup should have a rounded or "U" shape, indicating a stabilization of price after a downturn.
2. **The Handle**: After the formation of the cup, a slight downward drift in price forms the handle. This is usually a smaller retracement and does not fall deep into the cup. The handle can be seen as a bullish flag or pennant and represents a final consolidation or a shakeout of less committed traders before a potential upward breakout.
#### Implications for NASDAQ:SMH
For NASDAQ:SMH , the emergence of the Cup & Handle pattern is an encouraging sign for bullish investors. It suggests that after enduring a period of correction and consolidation, the ETF might be preparing for a continuation of its previous upward trend.
#### Key Aspects to Monitor
- **Breakout Point**: The critical level to watch is the resistance line formed at the top of the cup. A strong move above this level, preferably with increasing trading volume, could signal the continuation of the bullish trend.
- **Handle Formation**: The depth and duration of the handle are crucial. It should be relatively shallow compared to the cup and show signs of stabilizing or minor retracement.
- **Volume Analysis**: An authentic breakout is typically accompanied by a surge in trading volume, providing additional confirmation of the pattern’s validity.
#### Trading Considerations
Investors considering positions in NASDAQ:SMH should closely observe the completion of the handle and the subsequent price action. A breakout above the rim of the cup could present a potential entry point for a long position, while a decline below the handle might necessitate a reassessment of the bullish outlook.
It is important to remember that while the Cup & Handle pattern is a powerful tool in technical analysis, it should be considered in conjunction with other indicators and market fundamentals to make well-rounded investment decisions.
$SMH Weekly Cup with Handle FormationNASDAQ:SMH could be a big beneficiary "if" interest rates level out or even start dropping. This Cup w/ Handle formation is also about a 2 year base suggesting that if / when it breaks out, it could have a big run. All TBD.

SMH (daily) The problem with SMH:
Today is attempting some recovery off Fridays big red candle with what has potential to be a piercing candle, but needs to clear at today's close above Friday's pivot at 147.84 to offer any hope.
The test is label B, at 143.35. Bulls will want this to hold, or it will be a fast trek down from there.
9/21/23 will be a key day, if the time cycles hold up.
SMH: Are semis breaking down?Last time we saw the bullish moving average cross of the 7MA & the 590 MA we saw a superb rally over 2.5months.
This time we are seeing a bearish cross of the same 2 moving averages. Could this replicate the move to the downside?
Don't say we didn't caution you!
