Are Chips Losing Their Edge to Software Stocks?Semiconductor stocks have surged this year, thanks in large part to NASDAQ:NVDA Nvidia. But they could be losing relative strength to software makers within the technology sector. Today’s main chart focuses on the NASDAQ:SMH VanEck Semiconductor ETF, which closely tracks the NASDAQ:SOX Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. It recently slipped below the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), which may signal weakness over the intermediate term. The lower study shows its relative strength versus the NASDAQ:NDX Nasdaq-100. Notice how it’s mostly lagged the broader index since late June. Next, consider the same chart and studies for the AMEX:IGV iShares Software ETF. It’s shown the opposite patterns. Price is above the 50-day SMA and relative strength against the Nasdaq-100 has recently improved. The last chart compares these two ETFs as a ratio (IGV/SMH). It uses monthly candles to provide a long-term view. Software could be turning up from a 17-year low, which may also suggest relative strength is shifting between these two major groups within the key technology sector. Standardized Performances for ETF mentioned above: VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH): 1-year: +45.61% 5-years: +186.80% 10-years: +741.25% iShares Expanded Tech Software ETF (IGV): 1-year: +28% 5-years: +79.25% 10-years: +390.50% (As of August 31, 2023) Performance data shown reflects past performance and is no guarantee of future performance.

TESLA Dojo stole the show from NVDA!I published my analysis about AI bubble burst in August, now it looks like TSLA supercomputer Dojo has attracted market attention and drain liquidity out of NVDA and cryptocurrency market! At the time of writing this article TSLA is +9.1% and NVDA -2.16%, and my quantitative model scored TSLA +10 (Max buy) and NVDA -10 (max sell). Meanwhile, cryptocurrency market lost the 1 trillion market cap after 4 months. Why I believe TSLA surge is at the expense of NVDA and CRYPTO? If you are looking at the comments on this platform and other social media, you will see the population who trade or invest in TSLA, NVDA or crypto have pretty much same traits, culture, vocabulary, and patterns of behavior! While in the first half of 2023, NVDA stole the momentum from TSLA, Dojo (TESLA supercomputer) brought back the momentum to TSLA! What we know about Dojo? Tesla Dojo is a supercomputer designed and built by Tesla for computer vision video processing and recognition. It will be used to train Tesla's machine learning models to improve its Full Self-Driving (FSD) advanced driver-assistance system. According to Tesla, it had begun to be used in production in August 2023. Dojo is a custom-designed supercomputer that is optimized for processing video data. It is made up of a large number of custom chips called Dojo Pods, which are each capable of processing 1.8 teraflops of data per second. The Dojo Pods are interconnected by a high-speed network, allowing them to work together to process massive amounts of data. Tesla Dojo is expected to be one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world. It is estimated to have a peak performance of 1.8 exaflops, which is more than 100 times the performance of the previous generation of Tesla supercomputers. Dojo will be used to train Tesla's FSD models on a massive dataset of real-world driving data. This data is collected from Tesla's fleet of over 4 million vehicles, which are equipped with cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors. The FSD models will use this data to learn how to drive safely and autonomously in a variety of conditions. Dojo is a key part of Tesla's plan to achieve full self-driving. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that Dojo will allow Tesla to train its FSD models in a matter of weeks, rather than the months or years that it currently takes. This will accelerate the development of Tesla's self-driving technology and help the company to achieve its goal of making its vehicles fully self-driving by 2024. Tesla produces the Dojo chip. It is a custom-designed chip that is optimized for processing video data. The Dojo chip is manufactured by the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) using 7 nanometer (nm) semiconductor nodes, has 50 billion transistors and a large die size of 645 mm2 (1.0 square inch). There is no NVDA chip in Dojo. The Dojo supercomputer is powered by Tesla's own Dojo chip, which is a custom-designed chip that is optimized for processing video data. Tesla has not yet released any information about the specifications of the Dojo chip, but it is believed to be a very powerful chip. In August 2023, Tesla announced that Dojo was now in production use, configured with 10,000 Nvidia chips. However, these chips are not used to power the Dojo supercomputer. Instead, they are used to accelerate the training of Tesla's FSD models. Tesla has a long-standing partnership with Nvidia, and the two companies have worked together on a number of projects. However, Tesla is increasingly developing its own chips in-house. This is a trend that is being seen across the automotive industry, as automakers seek to gain more control over the technology that powers their vehicles. It is possible that Tesla may use Nvidia chips in future versions of Dojo, but for now, the supercomputer is powered by Tesla's own chips.

The place on a chart where the bulls come out to party - AND WHYThe SMH is the semi conductor exchange traded fund (EFT). This chart is a perfect example of the place where traders can generally count on a bull bear battle. When price is falling, the human nature tendency is to think what's happening now will continue to happen in the near term. All charts act and react the same way. In fact, Mrs. Market is simply running a test of an important area where it will be "show time" for a bull bear battle... This example is a "breakup candle low" which is an important spot on all charts, all time frames where a test is normal as is a bounce, at least for a trade, or more... This and many other concepts are discussed InsideTheNumbers LIVE and our nightly common sense market analysis videos on YouTube

Opening (IRA): SMH November 17th 122.5 Short Put... for a 1.34 credit. Comments: Adding a rung out in the November monthly so that my October rung doesn't look so lonely ... . It's actually because SMH 30-day IV is still fairly decent at 31.6%; the only options liquid ETF's with better IV are GDXJ (35.2%) and FXI (32.0%). Targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the semiconductor exchange-traded fund.

SMH Daily a Break of 143.50 is "Katy Bar the Door"Tomorrow, 8/18, is a critical day for Semis. Should the selling continue, to the tune of -1.38% off today's close, and we could see a break of a key Gann Confluence support at 143.50 (middle circle), which is a prior pivot (left circle). Below that area is free-fall (yellow highlighted), low volume, and little support. The 136 area I had pegged a while back on another chart. IF selloff continues tomorrow, we could have an interesting setup for Monday.
