Semiconductors vs. Nasdaq: Key Indicator of Tech MomentumIntroduction: The ratio between semiconductors NASDAQ:SMH and the Nasdaq 100 NASDAQ:QQQ serves as a key indicator of tech sector momentum and near-term risk sentiment. When SMH outperforms QQQ, it signals a "risk-on" environment, reflecting strong demand for semiconductors and overall tech sector health. Conversely, if QQQ outperforms SMH, it suggests a "risk-off" environment, pointing to concerns over weakening chip demand. Analysis: Risk Sentiment: The SMH-to-QQQ ratio provides insights into tech momentum. A higher SMH performance often indicates robust chip demand, a positive signal for the broader tech sector. On the other hand, when QQQ outperforms, it signals caution, possibly reflecting waning demand for semiconductors. Bullish Outlook: Recently, the SMH-to-QQQ ratio has formed a higher low, reinforcing a bullish outlook for semiconductors. This higher low is a positive sign not just for the semiconductor industry but for the broader market as well, as semiconductors often lead market rallies. Conclusion: The recent bullish signal in the SMH-to-QQQ ratio suggests tech sector strength, with semiconductors likely leading the way. This is a critical metric for assessing near-term market momentum, so traders should keep a close eye on this ratio to gauge potential shifts in sentiment. What’s your take on this trend? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments! Charts: (Include relevant charts showing the SMH-to-QQQ ratio and the higher low formation) #Semiconductors #Nasdaq #TechSector #SMH #QQQ #RiskOn

Bearish Reversal in VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH)The NASDAQ:SMH ETF shows a significant price decline, with a recent drop of 5.40%, as highlighted by the red bar. This price action suggests a bearish reversal after hitting a high of 283.07. The current support level is around 200.49, marking an 18.88% drop from the recent high. Additionally, the Darvas Box indicates a range between 247.16 and 283.07, suggesting potential consolidation in this area before the next directional move. The downward trend aligns with overall market corrections in the semiconductor sector, which could present a short opportunity if price breaks below key support levels. Traders should keep an eye on macroeconomic factors influencing this sector, as well as earnings reports that might impact semiconductor stocks. NASDAQ:ASML

SMH maybe forming an island gap reversalSMH lately broke above its downward trend that looked promising as a turning from this long ward slide we have been in. Selling may not be over yet After gapping up into more bullish territory it held for a day, stock gapped back down again Forming an island gap We could see the stock come back down into its original trading territory SPY is currently trading very high at the moment. As SPY contracts we should also see SMH falling as well.

$AMD in “W” Formation?NASDAQ:AMD looks to be developing a “W” formation, similar to a double bottom. There are quite a few of these formations on charts especially in the “Semis.” AMD stands out to me and looks to have a measured move from the breakout point (top of middle of “W” measured an equal move higher, see chart). The breakout looks to me to be $157.82 for a possible entry. I have an alert set early at $155.25 so I can evaluate an earlier entry. All TBD. The target price looks to be very close to the previous high or about an 18% move. Again, all TBD. If I take this trade, I will update the post. Note, this is “looking” like a setup to me, it is not yet a trade. Thanks for looking.

SMH tests major resistance levelSMH has rallied nicely the past 2 days and now reached major downward resistance level again. This is a crucial area for SMH to break in order for more rallying to continue Resistance defined well during late August ETF now presses up against resistance again Volume declines as resistance is reached. Overall I am expecting a reversal to start forming around here. Figure on SMH testing the level before retracting back down to lower levels again.

SMH forming a long downward trendSMH failed to make new highs after the last rally and now forming downward trend At the peak of July 10 we have seen a continued decline in SMH overall Latest rally peaked in August 21 coming in much lower than July 10 As SMH gradually sold off it also helped form a strong resistance line painting a long term grim picture We are in late cycle investing at the moment. This is helping solidify that the longer term risk assets have begun SMH is looking like the leader in the tech sell off so far. Recommend preparing your portfolio by rotating out of risk assets over to more defense ETFs

Is SMCI a buy? SMCI has lagged NVDA and many other semis. Were now approaching a critical area...its make or break! positive Daily divergence provides some hopes that were close to a near term bounce however after today semiconductor selloff the whole complex was shattered. The fact that SMCI remained green while NVDA was down 10% should be a small win in itself... The question is can it hold and build on this? I do think its better positioned for a long than most semis. No confirmed technical breakdown has occurred yet

SMH rallies to new highs with room to goSMH rallied to new highs today and into higher trading area which originally appeared to be very overbought 1 hour interval shows both 10 and 20 RSI levels in overbought territory 2 hour interval shows 20 RSI having more room to grow. initially exited riskiest positions figuring on this new high being way outside the bounds of normal This is now looking to have some more room left in it. expect a small pullback or pullback in time over the next day or two.

SMH held its ground above key support levelToday was an important day for semi conductors. In order to solidify a bullish pivot it needed to remain above a key support level. SMH held above key support lack luster moves across the market indicated indecision and caution amongst traders about the future being bullish or bearish This could mark the sign of a turn around to the upside longer term considering the recent rally and today's modest moves, this could be the distribution phase of the rally cycle which would mark a small pullback in the coming days
