ASML Perhaps the most structured buy in the market!ASML Holding (ASML) has been trading within a 2-year Channel Up pattern since the October 13 2022 Low. The recent September 10 2024 Low has been at the bottom of the pattern, technically forming its new Higher Low.
Yesterday it broke and closed above its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time in 3 months, which has been a solid bullish break-out signal on both previous Bullish Legs. Those then went on huge rallies that rose by +87.94% and +91.92% respectively.
As a result, with the 1W MACD about to form the final buy confirmation with a Bullish Cross, we set a 1380 long-term Target on a minimum +87.94% rise from the bottom, that will form an ideal Higher High on the Channel Up.

ASML: Catalyzing the Next Wave of Semiconductor InnovationASML Holding NV, the world's leading semiconductor equipment manufacturer, has recently seen its shares rise significantly following optimistic comments from CFO Roger Dassen regarding upcoming orders from its key customer, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). The company’s lithography tools, particularly its cutting-edge extreme ultraviolet (EUV) machines, are essential for producing the intricate circuitry found in advanced computer chips. This article explores the latest developments at ASML and their implications for the semiconductor industry.
Share Surge on Positive Outlook
On a recent investor call hosted by Jefferies, ASML CFO Roger Dassen expressed optimism about securing significant orders from TSMC, particularly for ASML's high numerical aperture (high-NA) EUV machines. These comments led to a 6.3% rise in ASML's share price, reaching €927.10 ($1,008.78).
Strategic Importance of High-NA EUV Machines
The high-NA EUV machines represent a substantial leap in lithography technology, capable of etching semiconductor lines just 8 nanometers thick, significantly smaller than the previous generation. These machines, which cost around €350 million ($380 million) each and weigh as much as two Airbus A320s, are pivotal for manufacturing chips that power artificial intelligence applications and advanced consumer electronics.
TSMC, the world's largest maker of advanced chips, is set to receive one of these high-NA EUV machines this year. This follows Intel's acquisition of the first such machine, which was delivered to its Oregon facility in late December. The strategic importance of these machines cannot be overstated, as they are crucial for maintaining technological leadership in semiconductor manufacturing.
Market Dynamics and Demand Forecast
ASML has projected robust sales targets for 2025, aiming for a revenue range of €30-40 billion, driven by the growing demand for advanced logic chips used in smartphones and AI applications. The company expects continued strong demand through 2026, bolstered by government-subsidized factories being built globally under initiatives like the U.S. CHIPS Act.
Jefferies analysts forecast that ASML's average orders will amount to approximately €5.7 billion per quarter for the remainder of this year, potentially pushing 2025 sales to the upper end of the company’s guidance. The demand for ASML’s high-NA EUV machines, despite their hefty price tag, underscores the semiconductor industry's reliance on this cutting-edge technology to maintain competitive advantage.
Competitive Landscape and Technological Edge
ASML's dominance in the EUV lithography market remains unchallenged. The complexity of EUV technology and the extensive ecosystem required for its development means that competitors like Chinese lithography company SMEE or Huawei are unlikely to pose a threat in the foreseeable future. This technological edge ensures that ASML remains at the forefront of semiconductor manufacturing innovation.
Conclusion
ASML’s latest advancements in EUV technology and the strategic partnerships with industry giants like TSMC and Intel highlight the company’s pivotal role in shaping the future of semiconductor manufacturing. The positive market reaction to CFO Roger Dassen’s comments reflects investor confidence in ASML’s ability to meet and exceed its ambitious sales targets. As the demand for advanced semiconductor chips continues to surge, ASML's technological innovations will be critical in driving the next wave of growth in the semiconductor industry.
ASML is at the forefront of innovation in chipmaking, with its cutting-edge EUV technology and collaborations with industry leaders like TSMC and Intel. Investors are clearly bullish, as shown by the positive market response to comments from CFO Roger Dassen. ASML's advancements are essential for building the next generation of super-powerful chips, perfectly positioned to capitalize on the skyrocketing demand for these components.
ASML supported on the 1D MA50. Bullish unless it breaks.ASML Holding N.V. (ASML) has been trading within a long-term Channel Up (blue) and after it broke above the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) more recently on November 01 2023, it went on a more aggressive (dotted) Channel Up.
The 1D MA50 is the key to its price action as not only did it hold on the previous Higher Low (January 17 2024) but also two days ago, which is technically the latest Higher Low. Technically, as long as it holds, the trend remains bullish and we will be targeting the top of the blue Channel Up at 1200.
If the stock however closes a 1D candle below the 1D MA50, we will take the loss and open a sell instead, targeting 900.00 (-15.57% decline as the March 12 2023 Low).
