SMH trade ideas

SOX, SMH needs to hold hereTheres a saying that SEMIs lead the market. $SMH finally broke an upper band trendline that took alot of work to do because of very little volume. Its tired and wants to rest. This is an important test but bids need to come back. Will June be the month when buyers pile back in? My gut tells me we hit 252 this week then break down again or at least stay above the band. Stocks that had great earnings but got slaughtered will do well. $SMH will be range bound till July earnings.

Semiconductor RallySMH, the semiconductor ETF has completed a beautiful combo correction and it appears wave 1 and 2 are already in! Trade plan Entry- Break of first supply zone Stop loss- Will take loss if price cannot turn supply into demand Price target- Overall price target for Wave 3 is 260, but I will be scalping in between the overall move to 260 using the zones as price targets and stop losses Comment with any questions regarding the chart or trade plan :)

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
