SMH Bull put spread - closed out as day trade for small profitSMH Bull put spread Sold the 230-227.5 bull put spread for .42 which was 20% ROI and 3 DTE, and then the market quickly traded to .56 and .62 as the 236 zone dind't have any buyers. So the lack of any buying activity made me lose confidence in the trade. I bought the spread back for 0.38 for a 0.04 profit about 5 hours later and took it as a day trade. I'll look to sell lower at the 220 strike if it tests down to 230 which I think is likely

3x ETF SOXL vs other 1x semi ETFs over various time horizonsI compare SOXL returns with SOXX, SMH, and PSI, all ETFs in the semiconductor space. CONCLUSIONS AND FINDINGS: YTD 2021 SOXL has not provided any net benefit over it's peers. And if you use stop loss orders you've probably lost money on it due to its extreme volatility. Smaller quant ETF fund PSI is the better performer on most/all time horizons YTD or more recent, especially from a risk/reward perspective. Only when comparing SOXL against the others on a time horizon of 1 yr or longer does SOXL outperform it's peers. Importantly however, charts mimic real life only to the extent we make the purchase the entire position at once and don't touch it over the entire time frame. But this is not what most traders do. Thus, I recommend holding SOXL only if you're going to buy it and not set any stop loss orders, touch it, trade it, or even look at it for a year or more. But you probably can't handle that. I can't either. Thus the better, more realistic strategy for most traders is to get PSI or one of the other primary ETFs covering this space.

SMH, short term double top?Although nothing really pans out, i suspect a potential double top for Semiconductor ETF. While lots of GOOD news such as good economic or job data, and shortage of chips should propel SMH even higher but as contrarian, i would take opposite opinion for next 3 months for a short hiatus for retracement if the double top plays out the first down side target base on % projection will be ~216. and if this neckline breaks down, next projection target is around 181 as to whether it can go lower to ~152 for major major support, that i am not sure only time will tell Please do your own D.D. Not a suggestion to buy or sell this etf, only for research purpose

SMH: Not Smart to Long Semiconductor Index Right NowIt is not a smart decision to open long positions in the semiconductor sector right now (TSM, NVDA, ASML, INTC, AAMT, AMD... etc). As the chart show, the overall performance on SMH is still on the downside trend, blocked by the resistance line on the necklace of the head-shoulder pattern. But it doesn't mean that it is time to short the semiconductor sector, it is better to stay neutral and see if we have the chance to buy the cheap chip in around 200 USD. If the market wouldn't give us the chance to buy in deep, then we can try to create the new positions again when SMH breaks through the resistance and goes with a new uptrend.

$SMH Semiconductor ETF Holds Trendline Lots of pain among the tech bulls in recent weeks and the SMH has been the cause of much of that pain. Despite a unprecedented demand and pricing power the sector is unable to meet demands as deep rooted politics has caused supply chain issues. Earning beats have been ignored as guidance has failed to overwhelm analysts and investors. This week we must look for strength in AMD and NVDA in particular, both companies have seen considerable outflows and attempted rallies have been rejected fast. On a positive note the SMH has maintained its March 2020 uptrend, it retraced and held the 0.236 Fibonacci level and also held the 100ma (ema) . All 2 of these supports is now the line in the sand for us, below these supports trouble is ahead.

Semiconductors ~ ascending triangle Technical Analysis We have formed an ascending triangle (purple lines). If we make a measured move from the breakout, it takes us up to $275 target approximately. 21ema has been working very well as a trend following system. OBV has been supportive of the trend. Fundamental Analysis / News 1. Ongoing reports talking about demand for semiconductors outpacing supply, particularly from the auto makers. 2. A Reuters report that indicates CEOs of leading U.S. companies are urging the Biden administration to provide incentives to build more factories in the U.S. in order to win back market share and help mitigate risks to national security.
