Intel’s Rally Might Be Fading

Intel has struggled to keep pace with chip makers like Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices for years. Now after an attempted turnaround, the bears may be returning.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the three-week rally in late May and early June. INTC halted at $36.96, its highest closing price since the stock gapped lower on July 29, 2022. A test and rejection of that zone could make traders think the long-term downtrend remains in effect.

Second is the triangle immediately after the drop. The consolidation pattern resolved to the downside.

Next, the eight-day exponential moving average (EMA) crossed under the 21-day EMA for the first time since May 31. MACD has also fallen for almost two weeks. Is the shorter-term direction getting more bearish?

Finally, INTC is more than $2 above its 200-day simple moving average (SMA) and $7 above its 52-week low. That could make traders see more room to the downside.
