SOXX Top, Gap-Fill

March 25, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors, SOXX, SOXX-26-01, Spring-to-Up-Thrust, Up-Thrust Leave a comment

Checklist Complete?

The SOXX closed above resistance, discussed in previous updates, here, here, and here.

This is The Danger Point®, where we have an instability.

Price action needs to decide if that was it for the upside or if somehow, we’re on to new all-time highs (not advice, not a recommendation).

As the chart shows, today was Day 21 from the February 25th, all-time high.

Semiconductors SOXX, Daily

We have the following technical conditions:

Penetration above established resistance levels.

Fibonacci 21-Days, from all-time highs.

Fibonacci 13-Days, from the March 9th low.

Fibonacci 61.8% retrace on print basis and 50% retrace on close basis.

With that said, SOXX sold short; trade SOXX-26-01, stop at today’s high (not advice, not a recommendation).

Tomfoolery, Between Sessions

Navigating Through The Fray

First, it was Monday’s pre-market spike on (so-called) news of on-going ‘negotiations‘, which the other side says, didn’t happen.

Then, today, just after the close we have another spike on reports of a ceasefire.

While we’re at it, let’s add this into the mix, link here.

That last datapoint and maybe more like it to come, could be the real problem on a go-forward basis (not advice, not a recommendation).

With all that said, the ‘spikes’ are helping to inch the SOXX higher. Tomorrow is Day 21, from all-time highs.

Semiconductors SOXX, Daily

We’re posting a segment of price action to show after-hours trading is higher, very near the blue resistance line.

A significant print above that line at the next session, would put the SOXX in up-thrust (potential reversal) position (not advice, not a recommendation).

SOXX, in a ‘Coil’

March 23, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors, SOXX, Up-Thrust 1 Comment

Last Gasp, Gap Fill?

It’s not unrealistic to say, there’s a struggle going on in the SOXX.

The last update showed the potential failure of gap-close attempts, link here.

Today’s action so far, looks like another battle to post into that area (not advice, not a recommendation).

The level to watch, is from March 11th, at 342.09.

A close significantly above, puts the SOXX, in up-thrust (potential reversal) position.

Bonds at Inflection

March 22, 2026 By in Bonds, TLT Leave a comment

Market Down, Bonds Down

Back in the day, when the market headed south, bonds typically head higher (rates lower).

Since January, when the markets reversed to the downside, bonds (TLT) blipped higher but then reversed as well.

Now, they have closed below support.

As the chart shows in the upper left, the forty-year bull market has ended.

Now, we’re in a new paradigm (not advice, not a recommendation).

Downside Breakaway … SOXX

March 21, 2026 By in $SPSIBI, Artificial Intelligence, Biotech, DIA, Dow 30, Nasdaq, NVDA, QQQ, SOXX, SPBIO, SPY, Wyckoff, XBI, XBI-26-04, YouTube Black Swan 2 Comments

Some Gaps, Never Filled

The day after the SOXX, topped on February 25th, was, this update.

In the case of Nvidia, it never printed or closed above the high reached on that day.

Well, the SOXX never made it back either.

Then, March 3rd, we have what looks like a ‘breakaway’ gap.

There’ve been at least two attempts to close that gap.

One of those attempts, a Wyckoff ‘spring’ set-up, which may have failed (not advice, not a recommendation).

Semiconductors SOXX, Daily

Other markets have rolled over as well; the Dow, S&P, the Qs, Biotech and so on (not advice, not a recommendation).

This just out, shows the typical response to an oil price shock, link here.

Record Volume, in ‘CORN’

March 20, 2026 By in Corn, Derecho, Teucrium Leave a comment

Most, Since June of 2010

There’s massive volume in the Teucrium CORN, tracking fund.

The chart at left, is a Fibonacci 8-Day, with four more days to go before the current bar is complete.

The last time there was volume anywhere close to this, was back in June of 2020, several weeks before 10% of the U.S. corn crop was wiped out by an inland ‘hurricane’.

That incident launched a rally in CORN, lasting into the early part of 2022, gaining over 160% (not advice, not a recommendation).

Biotech Confirms (so far)

March 19, 2026 By in $SPSIBI, Biotech, SPBIO, XBI, XBI-26-04 Leave a comment

Downtrend Intact

Today’s action moved up, contacting the right side (supply side) trendline from yesterday’s update; then, pulled back.

For the short position, XBI-26-04. shown, the stop is just above today’s session high (not advice, not a recommendation).

Biotech … Downside Ready

March 18, 2026 By in $SPSIBI, Biotech, Federal Reserve, SPBIO, XBI 3 Comments

Trading Channel

Biotech is one of those sectors that’s been elusive, hard to pin down.

The last update was in January, link here.

Note: that update identified the exact high (so far), for the sector; shown as ‘Day 1’, in the chart below.

Since then, it’s been what looks like mindless, sideways congestion; until yesterday, and today.

Before getting to the chart, recall there’s a Fed announcement coming up.

That may bring volatility, or it could be much ado about nothing.

Biotech XBI, Daily

There have been two contact points on the right side (supply side) of the channel; the most recent, during yesterday’s session.

As of this post, there are no short positions (not advice, not a recommendation).

The Sleeper … Corning

March 17, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, GLW, GLW-26-07, NVDA, Semiconductors Leave a comment

Next Leg Down?

What if you got a ‘secret’ phone call, telling you to focus on one stock; that it would go farther, last longer, than anyone expected?

It would have worked with Nvidia.

Nvidia’s return from the 2008 low (0.14-split adjusted) to the 2025 high at 212.19, was a mind-blowing 151,464%.

A modest $10,000 turns into $15.2-million.

In the case below, it’s still too early to tell if Corning GLW, could be that stock, but to the downside (not advice, not a recommendation).

Corning GLW, Daily

Currently, GLW is attempting to close the opening gap.

For the above hypothesis to be remotely viable, GLW, must close lower for the day (not advice, not a recommendation).

In addition, tomorrow’s action needs to be lower as well and stay within the channel, shown (not advice, not a recommendation).

That’s a lot of ‘if, and then’

Let’s see what happens next.

Corning … Target Update

March 16, 2026 By in GLW, GLW-26-06, Up-Thrust Leave a comment

Push to 50%?

The last update had a stop level at 133.24, for short position GLW-26-06.

Once that level was penetrated, the trade was not exited immediately but monitored for a more advantageous (better priced) level.

When it became obvious GLW was likely to close higher for the day (which it did), the trade was covered at 132.984, slightly below the stop level.

Now, we’re on the sidelines watching to see if there’s a reversal at this point or if price action makes it to 50%, and another possible up-thrust (not advice, not a recommendation).
