SMH trade ideas

Semi's attempting to break through resistance,what does it mean?The Semiconductor ETF SMH is meeting resistance here @ 260. The last several times the SMH index ETF met this trend resistance has resulted in a push to lower lows. Could this time be different? The MFI (Money Flow Index) seems to be suggesting it is a possibility. Although SMH is riding a downtrend, SMH price volume momentum is in overbought territory. A SMH break and close above 260 on a daily basis would end the SMH down turn. The next important area to watch would be 266. 266 is where major resistance resides. This is evidenced by the significant battle between bulls and bears previously waged there noted in Volume @ Price. The last time @ 266, the bears got the better of the SMH bulls. However, this SMH MFI is trending higher as opposed to lower. This is a canary in the coal mine to watch as this battle could have repercussions as to the future direction of the broad market trend and ensuing market leadership.

The sparrow may be small but its vital organs are thereRead news here , about this ETF here and here This is a Chinese idioms - má què suī xiǎo , wǔ zàng jù quán Many finished goods like mobile phones to automobiles looks sleek,elegant and nice from the outside. But like the sparrow, the chips though small contain all the vital organs that drives the function of the mobile phones and the cars. Without it , it is useless. And the article above clearly shows us the global demand for it will only INCREASE over time. For more than a decade since year 2001, this ETF was hoovering under sub 50 dollars price level. It was only in Jan 2015 that it finally breaks out of 50 dollars and the last 6 years has been nothing but spectacular performance. If you had bought it at 50 dollars and hold this ETF till now, you would have made nearly 5x the returns. But had you not, fret not, here is another buying opportunity for you. A bullish engulfing candle and a breakout of the resistance at 243 price level would be a good entry point.

$SMH Bear Flag, Dip & RipSMH has sold off through the median of the pitchfork with more volume than the uptrend (Oct 21 to Nov 21). There is a likelyhood that we are doing "as above, so below" pattern where the price rejects the upper channel, supply exhausts, then comes back down to mirror down below to look for demand. As of now SMH is hammering near the outer channel. I'll be looking for a low volume bear flag where bulls try to drive the price up just beyond the gap fill. Shortly after it'll be key to watch the bears step in and drive price down to 252. After a bit of accumulation, should we continue to stay in this trend (since COVID) I can see the price quickly moving back to the median shortly after options expiration in Feb.

Semicondoctuctors are the "Transports of the 21st century"Bespoke Research firm says "Prior to the digital revolution that began in the 1990s, the Dow Transports were viewed as a “leading” indicator for the broader stock market. In the digital age, there’s hardly an industry group that doesn’t rely on semiconductors in one way or another. A modern car can easily have more than 3,000 chips. We view the semiconductor group as the “Transports of the 21st century,” making the price action for semis important to monitor." I agree and will be monitoring the SMH/SPY

A Short Semi Window on SMHBreakdown is anything south of 273.89 Question is what saves it - historically 14SMA on weekly has captured it but this has broken down in May 2021. Instead the 30SMA on weekly have been the saver so that would be the clincher. If I was a shorting man - 273.89 is the trigger- then down to 14SMA at 279.57, then 269.72 as next resistance and then finally 30SMA at 266.06. I can see a breakdown but not a major one given the strategic value of Semi at the moment, which is unchanged
