SMH trade ideas

SMH rallies to new highs with room to goSMH rallied to new highs today and into higher trading area which originally appeared to be very overbought 1 hour interval shows both 10 and 20 RSI levels in overbought territory 2 hour interval shows 20 RSI having more room to grow. initially exited riskiest positions figuring on this new high being way outside the bounds of normal This is now looking to have some more room left in it. expect a small pullback or pullback in time over the next day or two.

Monthly island reversal in the making?I was looking over some monthly charts today (in candlestick format) and this one stood out to me on the monthly as a possible topping pattern...a monthly island reversal. On the 1st trading day in June 2024 SMH gapped up but then on the first trading day in August 2024 it gapped down creating a visual island reversal look. Technically speaking I think Island Reversal gaps do not clear but instead "gap and go" so I'm sure someone will correct me if this is the case but visually speaking (if and only if this is a top) one could look back and suggest this to be the case after the fact. And July 2024 created an "inside month"...another possible sign of a reversal. If the gap down is no longer present at the end of August then I will stop myself out of this trade but it's worth a small short IMO.

SMH held its ground above key support levelToday was an important day for semi conductors. In order to solidify a bullish pivot it needed to remain above a key support level. SMH held above key support lack luster moves across the market indicated indecision and caution amongst traders about the future being bullish or bearish This could mark the sign of a turn around to the upside longer term considering the recent rally and today's modest moves, this could be the distribution phase of the rally cycle which would mark a small pullback in the coming days

SMH breaks through key resistanceSMH breaks through key resistance giving a hint that downward trend could be coming to a close for the near term. RSI continues to rise during recent rally which is a bullish sign Flash crash we experienced on Fri-Mon tends to cause rallies which we have experienced thus far potential breakout we are currently seeing could just be false breakout before retreating back into downward trend. We should wait for pullback to resistance line and bounce upward to help confirm if this breakout will continue Any trades made now should be done cautiously and in small amounts, the market could go in either direction. Trades made now, should not be added onto until we have more confidence of the overall direction.

SMH tests major resistance lineSMH approaches major resistance line after flash crash a few days ago SMH rallies to major resistance line 20 RSI remains below 50 which is a bearish sign that the recent rally is running out shorter timeframes show a dramatic drop in volume during the rally which is another bearish indicator August and September are historically bad months for the stock market I am expecting SMH to test the resistance line, possibly breakthrough then pull back before continues selling. Not putting on any trades, waiting for confirmation.

$SMH EFT Looking Good For BuysThe semiconductor NASDAQ:SMH headed towards the previous bullish structure zone and is currently printing a bullish engulfing candle above the $239 price level (support level). Going to be deployment some more capital at this level, which is above 14% below it's previous high. I believe semiconductor companies are going to be a very important part for the global space moving forward. Doesn't matter if your talking about AI, Machine Learning, Crypto, Tesla, whatever. Semiconductors are going to be necessary and needed in every aspect.
