AVGO dips for a buy now $50 under ATH LONGAVGO is asking to be chased. On the daily chart, the price is now $50 below the ATH of
the top of of the month. RSI on the lower TF green line has pulled back to 72 from 85.
The longer TF black line is admittedly in overbought territory. The longterm growth
expectations of the AI stock defy ordinary technical analysis, AVGO is 3-4% below the ATH.
I see this as an opportunity to diversify in AI stocks by getting a small position in BroadCom
to supplement NVDA, MU and INTC. I am looking at TXN as it has a lower price tag and is
about 10% below ATH. ( The growth prospects need a look to see if they are there.)
I expect AVGO to compete well in the space and can see that it is making agreements with
some other companies well situated in AI .
SMCI IS it overextended or hunting for thin air LONGSMCI is intimate with NVDA and the couple are doing quite well. I got some more at $750 and
2 days ago. Predictive Modeling is suggesting a $1000 price by Tuesday afternoon. That would
be a 33% return in less than a week. The chart shows the bull flag after the reversal out of
the down trend where I bought upon the mass index signaling. The AI indicator suggests
a slowly rising parallel channel with the upper boundary in the $1000 range. It suggests
an interval nano-dip in the premarket on Monday for a buy at the opening bell. I am good with
that. I have high confidence here due to the overall trend strength of AI. Software also

SMCI - consolidated - ? Continuation or ? Reversal SMCI has been on an impressive trend up since the first day of the trading year. On the 15
minute chart It had a healthy 12% pull back about February 22-29 but then rallied again on
a reversal upside to nearly the ATH of $ 1075 set on Friday 2/16. I note that traders like
to trade SMCI on Fridays and likely are chasing same day expiration call options. I know this
because I have been one of them. SMCI is now in a high tight bull flag pattern. Typically
this is bullish for another leg up of equal magnitude after consolidation. I will suppose
the probability of a breakout higher is 75% and breakdown 25%. I may play this with
a set of stop orders. A buy stop at $ 1030 and a sell stop at $ 1005 with a share proportion
set equally. When SMCA breaks from the consolidation one of the two orders will trigger
while the other will be in play until cancelled or triggered. My bullish bias is that the buy stop
will trigger and I will miss only a small piece of the price action in the initial continuation.
I will assess for a call option trade upon continuation. The volatility indicator helps me pick
entries with an alert set for volatility beyond the running mean either bullish or bearish.
WLD: Manipulation SetupWLD (Wild) is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that allows users to trade cryptocurrencies without the need for a centralized intermediary.
WLD has been trading in a bullish pattern on the 1-hour time frame, which suggests that it is currently in the manipulation phase of an accumulation, manipulation, and distribution (AMD) cycle.
The AMD cycle:
The AMD cycle is a popular technical analysis model that describes the three phases of a market cycle:
Accumulation: During this phase, large buyers accumulate tokens at low prices, often creating a bullish chart pattern.
Manipulation: In this phase, the price is manipulated to create the illusion of a strong uptrend, attracting retail buyers.
Distribution: In this phase, the large buyers sell their tokens at high prices, causing the price to dump.
WLD is currently in the manipulation phase:
Volume increase: The trading volume has been increasing over the past few days, which is a sign of manipulation.
Social media hype: There has been a lot of hype surrounding WLD on social media, which is also a sign of manipulation.
Price movement: The price has been moving up in a parabolic fashion, which is another sign of manipulation.
Why this is a good time to buy:
Early entry: The market is still in the manipulation phase, which means that there is still time to get in before the price dumps.
Strong support: The price is currently trading above a strong support level, which could provide a good entry point.
Potential for a big move: The AMD cycle suggests that the price could move significantly higher in the distribution phase.
Conclusion:
WLD is currently in the manipulation phase of an AMD cycle. This could be a good time to buy, as the price has the potential to move significantly higher in the distribution phase. However, investors should always do their own research and exercise caution before investing in any cryptocurrency.

NVIDIA 1000 SOON ?NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), a leading player in the technology sector, has been showing promising signs that could potentially drive its stock price to reach the $1000 mark. Here’s why:
Strong Financial Performance
NVIDIA’s financial performance has been impressive. In 2023, NVIDIA’s revenue was $60.92 billion, an increase of 125.85% compared to the previous year’s $26.97 billion1. Earnings were $29.76 billion, an increase of 581.32%1. This strong financial performance indicates a healthy and growing company.
Positive Analyst Ratings
The consensus rating for NVIDIA stock from 41 stock analysts is "Strong Buy"23. This means that analysts believe this stock is likely to perform very well in the near future and significantly outperform the market.
Future Growth Prospects
According to forecasts, NVIDIA’s revenue for the year 2025 is expected to reach $136.09 billion, representing a growth of 21.67% from the current year1. The EPS for the year 2025 is forecasted to be $30.41, representing a growth of 22.03% from the current year2. These growth prospects could potentially drive the stock price higher.
Dominance in AI and Gaming
NVIDIA’s pivotal role in the artificial intelligence market and its dominance in the gaming industry are key factors that could drive its stock price. The company’s GPUs are widely used in data centers, gaming, and AI, sectors that are expected to grow significantly in the coming years1.
Bullish Technical Indicators
Based on technical indicators, the current sentiment is bullish and NVDA could hit $2,813.93 in 20254. This might be a good time to open fresh positions on NVDA, as trading bullish markets is always a lot easier4.
While the road to $1000 may have its ups and downs, the combination of NVIDIA’s strong financial performance, positive analyst ratings, future growth prospects, and dominance in key sectors makes a compelling bull case for its stock.
18/03/24 Weekly outlookLast weeks high: $73775.8
Last weeks low: $69170.3
Midpoint: $64564.9
After making consecutive new ATH's Bitcoin has now experienced it's first prolonged pullback. Before these last few days we saw each dip as more of a leverage flush with a near instant V-shaped recovery. This however is more of a traditional pullback, the main level of note is the previous cycles ATH of SWB:69K . The MIDPOINT now signifies that level and for me and on the HTF a potential Swing Fail Pattern (SFP) . If we do see a clear rejection off SWB:69K This could be the start of one of Bitcoins signature 30% Bullrun pullbacks to punish late longers and any unexperienced retail holders. This would see price drop to FWB:52K area.
Personally I think leverage flushes are going to be common place as they always are and we are due a routine pullback, A pre-halving pullback occurred in the previous halving, -20% before rallying post halving. If we assume history will repeat itself then that would see price fill the large wick at GETTEX:59K from the previous flush, entirely possible in my opinion.
As for the bulls, the ETF'S have been buying up any sellside pressure since the beginning of the calendar year and with the halving only ~30 days away it's hard to see Bitcoins price being allowed to fall as what is essentially a land grab is going on, there are simply too many buyers.
The Nvidia AI conference begins today! Monday until Thursday and the crypto space is anticipating volatility to come from this event. Projects such as RNDR, FET, NEAR and other AI & DePIN tokens are expected to be impacted the most. The question is always going to be is this a sell the news event? The AI space has rallied significantly in the previous months however I would say that company with a valuation of $2.2T, (roughly 50% more than the entire market cap of Bitcoin) , bringing attention to these crypto projects and at least making the link between the two is a positive for the industry and can only bring more attention and money to the space.
Semiconductor Bull Run: more steam ahead, but take cautionSome industries are notoriously cyclical. Semiconductor is a prime example. It swings to the extreme on both bullish and bearish sides. While the industry is in a bull run, investors can still participate in its rise but with caution.
The PHLX Semiconductor Index (“SOX”) is a modified market-cap weighted index. It is composed of semiconductor firms involved in the design, production, and distribution.
This paper dives into the factor’s driving SOX performance. It expounds on the cyclical nature of the industry, and its outlook fuelled by AI frenzy.
Finally, this note posits a hypothetical spread trade to gain from index outperformance relative to the broader market. The spread has been found to be more resilient that an outright position in SOX ETF or futures.
UBIQUITOUS AI
AI here. AI there. AI everywhere. AI by far is the single most driver of SOX outperformance. VANTAGE:NVIDIA , the AI darling commands ~10% of the SOX. Other AI majors include Broadcom (9.3% weight) and chip equipment maker ASML (4.5% weight).
The strongest profit harvester of AI boost is Nvidia. Expectedly, it has strongly outperformed SOX. AI-driven demand is evident in its financials. In 2023, its revenues rose by 125% YoY while Net income spiked by a jaw-dropping 580%.
Consistent earnings beat-and-raise has propelled its stock prices to more than 500% gain since the start of 2023. Outsized impact of Nvidia’s earnings is from AI data centre sales.
AI NOW, AND MORE IN THE FUTURE.
Nvidia is clearly benefiting in the near-term. Other majors are ramping up their AI offerings. Notable among them are NASDAQ:AMD (9.8% weight in SOX), VANTAGE:INTEL (6.75%), and $Qualcomm (7.5%).
These firms are yet to witness a major AI driven boost. 2023 data centre revenue for these firms remained underwhelming relative to AI winners such as Nvidia and Broadcom.
Broadcom’s AI driven demand for its networking solutions led to revenue of USD 2.3 billion in Q1 2024 which represents a four-fold increase YoY, reported MarketWatch. For 2024, they forecast AI-driven sales to reach USD 10 billion.

Meanwhile, Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm are in the process of launching their own AI offerings.
Qualcomm’s updated Snapdragon X Elite chips runs on ARM architecture. These offer enhanced AI capabilities, energy efficiency & performance compared to current platforms from Intel and AMD.
AMD updated its guidance for AI graphics offerings to USD 3.5 billion this year (v/s two billion previously). Although, below expectations, the raised outlook signals that sales ramp up is yet to materialize.
Intel is planning to launch AI PCs. Uniquely, in such PCs, AI inference will be localized on the user’s machines rather than on the cloud. Like Qualcomm, Intel’s AI PCs may revive its faltering PC sales.
NEXT TO AI, REBOUND IN MOBILE PHONE SALES IS HELPING THE INDUSTRY
Beyond AI driven demand, rebound in smartphone sales highlighted by Counterpoint Research has helped change the fortunes of this industry. Final quarter of last year marked the first quarter of annual growth after 7 straight quarters of declining sales volume as per their report .
Smartphone sales rebound benefits not just mobile chip makers like Qualcomm but also manufacturing service providers like TSMC.
SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY IS NOTORIOUSLY CYCLICAL. FORTUNATELY, BULL CYCLE FOR NOW.
Semiconductor industry is prone to cyclicality. It is impacted by idiosyncratic consumption patterns. As a result, industry runs into large inventory buildups resulting in gluts for outdated products and shortages for new ones. Due to the rapid innovation rate, production sizing is hard. Even harder is for manufacturing output to adjust to shifting demand dynamics.
Cyclicality is on over-drive these few years. Pandemic disrupted chip production while demand remained robust. Subsequent shortage impacted not just semiconductor firms but also various other industries reliant on chips.
Manufacturers ramped up production to meet high demand. Soaring inflation drove central banks to raise interest rates. This caused consumer spending, especially on discretionary electronic items to nose-dive. This dynamic rapidly drove chip inventories from a severe shortage to demand crushing glut. What followed was painful mark-downs and profit crushing unit sale declines.
Cyclicality is ingrained in this industry due to its consumption, innovation, and growth cycles. As an example, consider VANTAGE:INTEL ’s revenue and profit. VANTAGE:INTEL derives majority of its revenue (54% in 2023) from its Client Computing division comprising of consumer-focused processors.
The impact of seasonality is also palpable in the net income of memory manufacturer $Micron.
HYPOTHETICAL TRADE SETUP
Robust financial performance is evident for some stocks within SOX. Other names within SOX are yet to reap the harvest of top-line and bottom-line growth from AI.
Notwithstanding, SOX continues to rise. It is up +100% relative to the start of 2023 when AI-driven hype came to the fore. Over exuberance and risks of a bubble are clear. A macro slowdown or industry-specific setback could drive a sharp reversal in SOX.
Instead of an outright position in SOX ETF or Futures, spreads between SOX and other equity indices shows that SOX/S&P 500 spread makes for a compelling hypothetical trade setup.
SOX/S&P 500 spread offers improved upside relative to SOX/Nasdaq-100 and SOX/XLK spread. It also offers resilient performance during sharp corrections (August to November 2023).
The SOX/S&P 500 spread is 36% higher since the start of 2023 and close to its highest level seen during 1995 and 2000. For reference, the SOX index is up 80% from 2023 and soaring far above previous all-time-highs. This implies that much of the recent run-up in SOX has come alongside a broader rally in the S&P 500. SOX outperformance is likely to continue while SOX tailwinds remain intact.
A hypothetical spread trade comprising of two lots of long CME E-Mini PHLX Semiconductor Sector Futures (“SOX Futures”) and short one lot of CME E-Mini S&P 500 Futures can offer a reward to risk ratio of 1.5x. Two contracts of SOX Futures are required to match the notional for one contract of E-Mini S&P 500 futures.
• Entry: 0.927

Worldcoin: The Future of Digital Identity What happens when 90 plus percent of everything we interact with and see on the internet is created or enhanced by AI?
A new project has emerged with the potential to revolutionize the way we think about digital identity. Worldcoin, co-founded by Sam Altman of OpenAI, aims to create a global network of digital identities for a world where AI robots become harder to distinguish from humans.
At the heart of Worldcoin is the concept of "proof of personhood," which is becoming increasingly important as AI technology advances. The project utilizes an innovative approach to identity verification through the use of an "Orb" device that scans people's irises to ensure they are unique human beings.
"It is a way to verify humanness truly at population scale, independent of governments, able to scale to billions of people. And that is what we call World ID, which underlying is a biometric verification device that we call the orb, that you see here, that actually allows us to do that. So that is World ID, that's building block one. And two is a digital currency called Worldcoin that everyone that actually verifies for World ID receives ownership in it. That is the protocol level. And then also, to get all of this going, we built the first app that connects to the protocol that we call World App So that's a non-custodial wallet that lets you send money to your friends, lets you verify with your World ID and kind of brings together many of the technologies that came out of crypto in the last couple years and just makes them very easy to understand and use" - Alex Blania CEO, Tools For Humanity
But Worldcoin is not just about identity verification. The project also aims to provide a universal basic income through the distribution of its MIL:WLD token to every human. This bold vision could have a significant impact on financial inclusion and help to address some of the economic challenges that the world is currently facing.
The association with OpenAI and Sam Altman has generated significant interest in Worldcoin, with the project raising $115 million in a Series C round led by Blockchain Capital. The project's token, MIL:WLD , has seen a surge in price, reaching $9.35, according to CoinMarketCap data.
Now, let's look at the MIL:WLD token. With a total supply of 10 billion and a current circulating supply of 104 million, there's still a lot of room for growth. This is a potential proxy for the public to invest in OpenAI, the largest AI research company. And if the project continues to gain traction, the demand for the token could increase, potentially driving the price up.
While there are still many unknowns about the future of Worldcoin, the project's ambitious goals and innovative approach to identity verification make it one to watch in the world of cryptocurrency and AI.
Most will wait till MIL:WLD is listed on major exchanges....by than what price will it be!? As always, early bird gets the worm.
RNDR longRender bounced off the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. The bullish trend is expected to continue and reach the local top at $12.7
NVDA 2023 GTC - Before / During / AfterWith GTC 2024 approaching next week (starting 3/18/24) I did a look back to GTC 2023. There is obviously more hype going into this year's event (and different macro conditions), but may be useful to reflect.
This year Nvidia peaked near 975 on Friday 3/8 and fell sharply that very day. It's since recovered as of this writing to about 875.
Let's see how it all plays out this GTC and the weeks that follow.
RNDR CUP & HANDLEI'm already positioned on RNDR from the bottom of the cup and the handle.
From now on, I'll accumulate every strong drop.
I'm waiting for the price to drop so I can buy more.
I'm expecting new ATHs for 2024/2025, be patient.
