Triple leveraged insanity?!?!?!Thinking about taking a swing with AMEX:USD USD (Ultra Semiconductors) if we can get sharply down to this line. What do you all think?
This is not for a HODL. This is intended to be a short-term leveraged swing trade. Keep your diamond hands to yourself plz and thank you.
SOXX trade ideas
SOXX ETF pick for Year 2025.SOXX will be my ETF pick for 2025, aligning with the anticipated policy direction under Trump.
I will review its performance in mid-2025 and provide an update again at the end of 2025.
It’s worth noting that Tesla is not included in this ETF. To ensure a balanced approach, I plan to allocate 80% of a $10,000 investment to SOXX and the remaining 20% to Tesla.
SOXX - Time to begin DCANot financial advice. This is my creativity at play. This is all my own opinion to myself, this is just like my personal portfolio but I like to share for other people’s case studies
Broke out of head and shoulders. Still in a wedge so it could break out or go back down to 205 for re test of the bottom of the wedge.
If it breaks that it could easily go under 200 and slide for who knows how long.
Upside - 240 and beyond, potentially to new highs with strong AI and chip earnings per AVGO MU
Im bullish within he stellar earnings we have seen this last few months and yesterday with AVGO, AI demand is still here
SOXX Bull Flag #2I posted a longer term bull flag for SOXX on the top 5 list this week, but here's another shorter term one on the 15m within the larger one. Nice recovery today back up into the wedge, Good potential to breakout and head to the top end of the larger bull flag which could lead to even more upside if that breaks.
Bullish chart after some weakness earlier in the week, will be hard to stop if NVDA can reclaim $140 and keep going.
Top 5 Weekly Trade Ideas #2 - SOXX Bull FlagRough day for tech and semis so far. NVDA failed to reclaim $140 but still has a bullish chart overall. It was idea #1 this week with an inverse H&S that is still valid for now. If we see both NVDA and SOXX begin to rally it would be a good sign that SOXX is about to breakout of this bull flag while NVDA holds the neckline.
SOXX is right in the middle of the range so it's not the greatest spot to enter. There's still a lot of room for more downside without invalidating the bull flag. Ideal long entry would be on a break of the flag and retest. First upside target is around $240. Downside target is $208 - $200.
Market near Top. SOXX is showing weakness.So first off, I am expecting a recession to begin in the next year.
I know, people have been saying this for years and I've been laughing at them for years. So many idiots thought that a recession begins once the yield curve inverts lol.
Well there's several things I've been watching for a recession: new home sales, unemployment claims, leading economic index (LEI), etc.
One of the last signs before a recession, believe it or not, is the SPX making a new high.
And we finally got NFP under +50k.
I don't think SPX will go much higher than 6100. And if you look at SOXX, an index of semiconductor stocks, it is actually below the 200-day simple moving average (sma). This seems to have escaped a lot of people's attention. I am watching to see if it breaks below October's low of 216.56.
SOXX Trend Retest Short IdeaThis is one of my 5 favorite setups this week that I went over in my video yesterday. I haven't had time to post the text versions yet so I'm doing it now. SOXX just rejected off of a major trendline retest, just like it has several times in the past and it has always led to continued downside. We'll see what happens with NVDA earnings, it may be the first time there's a negative reaction to it in a long time.
The Chips Act's Biggest Beneficiary may be...Intel!The Biden administration is nearing completion of allocating $39 billion in grants under the CHIPS and Science Act, aimed at revitalizing the U.S. semiconductor industry. However, the real challenges lie ahead.
1.The CHIPS Act, passed two years ago, is a bold attempt to bring advanced chip production back to the U.S., betting on Intel, Micron, TSMC, and Samsung. The goal is to produce 20% of the world's most advanced processors by 2030, up from nearly zero today.
2.Key to this effort is Mike Schmidt, who leads the CHIPS Program Office (CPO) at the U.S. Department of Commerce. His team, composed of experts from Washington, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley, aims to reduce reliance on Asia, particularly Taiwan, as chips are essential for everything from microwaves to missiles.
3.The CHIPS Act outlines specific goals and capacity expectations, as shown in the chart. According to BCG forecasts, by 2032, the U.S. is expected to produce about 14% of the world's wafers, up from the current 10%. Without the Act's support, this figure would drop to 8% by 2032.
The immediate priority is to establish at least two major clusters for advanced logic chip manufacturing (the brains of devices). Officials also aim to build large-scale advanced packaging facilities, which are crucial for connecting chips to other hardware. Additionally, they seek to boost the production of traditional chips, as the U.S. is concerned about China's growing capacity in this area. Advanced DRAM memory, essential for AI development, is also a focus.
4.Intel is a major beneficiary of the CHIPS Act, receiving $8.5 billion in direct assistance and $11 billion in support loans from the U.S. Department of Commerce to support its over $100 billion chip investment plan. Intel also stands alone as the sole recipient of a $3.5 billion plan to produce advanced electronics for the military, despite controversy in Washington.
5.Other chip manufacturers face challenges. TSMC, Intel, and Samsung have committed to investing $400 billion in U.S. factories, but most have missed their targets due to various issues. For instance, TSMC has been reluctant to move its production lines and packaging capabilities from Taiwan, as chip packaging is seen as Taiwan's "trump card" in ensuring U.S. protection.
6.The broader challenge remains workforce shortages. McKinsey estimates that the U.S. semiconductor industry will face a shortage of 59,000 to 77,000 engineers in the next five years. Without immigration reform and a cultural shift toward hardware innovation, the U.S. may struggle to maintain its lead even if it builds new factories.
For individuals, pursuing a two-year technical degree at a community college could be a smart career move, as over 80 semiconductor-related courses have been introduced or expanded since the CHIPS Act was passed.
The Semiconductor Bubble is Finally PoppingI believe it is time for one of the biggest bubbles in history to be popped. I'm talking about semiconductors here, but really I would call this entire situation an "everything bubble." i think it all starts with semiconductors though, once the bubble pops it's going to get ugly quick and shorts will pay. However, timing such a move is difficult, but with some good TA you can increase the odds quite a bit. As always, it's only worth risking so much, top picking is a fool's game. Don't short just because of me. If anything, it might just be best to reduce long exposure for the time being rather than shorting.
I go over some charts for SOXX NVDA and more, which I have individual ideas for also. All of these charts feature bearish patterns and major trend breaks. It is all adding up, every single semiconductor I see has a major downside break and NQ is on the edge of breaking its uptrend as well.
We'll have to see how it goes, if I knew what was going to happen for sure I'd be on my yacht right now.
SOXX Remains BullishThe semiconductor sector is currently in a manageable correction phase.
The bottom formation in the area of the large, bullish order block is clearly recognizable.
We therefore remain optimistic for SOXX and select the accumulation point of the FairValueGap and BalancePriceRange at 257.87 points as our take profit.
SOXX Major Trendline ResistanceSOXX tapped a major trendline earlier and rejected a little so far. Semiconductors are a dangerous short right now, but if there's any place they're going to fail, I think it's here. Since it is right on the line it provides good risk to reward, tight stop above. We'll most likely need to see weakness in NQ and for sure NVDA for this to work.
ETFs outperformed the sp500: SOXX & IYWDear traders,
This comparison as is made since the fall of the COVID crisis, clearly the sectors with a remarkable evolution have been the technology sector and the semiconductor sector, in these times betting on technology and artificial intelligence is a good option, this could change but for now I feel comfortable with these investments in my portfolio.
SOXX is better to wait for a bit retracemente before entry, try to look for a buying opportunities when RSI get relaxed.
Best,
SOXXSOXX looks set for a breather after its run-up. Expecting an 8-10% dip within its range before it bounces back up. Keep an eye out for any range breakouts signaling a change in direction.
