Intel … After The Open

April 8, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, INTC, INTC-26-03, NVDA, NVDA-26-01, Semiconductors, Spring-to-Up-Thrust Leave a comment

Set-Up & Go

The set-up in Intel (INTC) is more than just ‘selling the rip’.

We have a repeating pattern with a high expectation.

Meaning, the probabilities of a reversal to the downside with this type of set-up is greater than 50% chance (not advice, not a recommendation).

As of this update (11:10 a.m., EST) INTC has decisively penetrated support and is now hovering at that level.

What’s missing in the way of confirmation is either a reversal bar today, or a new daily low during tomorrow’s session.

Intel INTC, Daily

With the mega-cap Nvidia almost instantly retracing its opening highs, it may be leading the pack lower.

If that’s the case, the entire sector is at risk of following NVDA to the downside (not advice, not a recommendation).

The Intel ‘Set-Up’

April 8, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, INTC, Semiconductors, Spring-to-Up-Thrust Leave a comment

Repeating Pattern

If intel (INTC) opens at the level shown (magenta arrow), it’s going to post a new daily high, above January 22nd high.

Doing that, would put INTC in ‘up-thrust‘ position (not advice not a recommendation).

Intel INTC, Daily

Today’s open will be Fibonacci 55-Days (-2) from the January 22nd high.

Nvidia … after-hours

April 7, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, NVDA, NVDA-26-01, Semiconductors, ZeroHedge Leave a comment

Fibonacci Levels

The markets are higher in the after-hours session on news of a potential cease-fire, link here.

Nvidia’s no exception.

However, as the chart shows, it’s right at a Fibonacci 38.2% retrace (as of 7:13 p.m., EST).

If this level holds, or if NVDA moves higher, tomorrow’s session is likely to be quite interesting (not advice not a recommendation).

Semiconductors Inch Higher

April 6, 2026 By in AMD, AMD-26-01, Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors, SOXS, SOXS-26-02, SOXX, Up-Thrust Leave a comment

Using The Grind

Today’s buoyancy in the semiconductor sector, SOXX, gave an opportunity to assess the situation.

The decision was made to exit the short on the sector itself (via SOXS), and initiate individual short positions based on price action.

Some equities are stronger, some weaker; AMD is one of the latter.

With that said, AMD, sold short @ 220.18, as AMD-26-01 (not advice, not a recommendation).

Close for the session just happened to be exactly at 220.18, putting the trade at break-even.

DoorDash Destruction

April 5, 2026 By in DASH, Michael Bordenaro Leave a comment

Implosion Continues

Several updates from Michael Bordenaro, link here and here paint a bleak picture for fast-food and the ‘gig’ economy.

From all-time highs to last Thursday’s close, DASH, is down over 45%.

The chart above, is brief but effective.

It shows a trading channel with price action contacting the right side, a Fibonacci 5-Weeks from the pivot lower (not advice, not a recommendation).

Let’s add, the week labeled as “1”, is also a Fibonacci 21-Weeks from all-time highs.

Gold Miners to Rally?

April 4, 2026 By in Daniela Cambone, GDX, GOLD, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners Leave a comment

Two Schools of Thought

Yesterday’s post discussed the apparent 50% retrace, pivot point, in Senior Miners GDX, link here.

Now, we have this just out from Daniela Cambone of ITM Trading, link here.

Gold discussion begins at Time Stamp: 2:30

Monday’s trading is likely to give clues on the next (sustainable) direction for the miners (not advice, not a recommendation).

Gold Miners … at the Pivot

April 3, 2026 By in Carl Vernon, Food Supply, GDX, GDXJ, Genesis 41, Gold & Silver, Gold Miners, Holiday Turns, The Speck, Up-Thrust 1 Comment

Retrace to Reversal?

This past Wednesday, Senior Gold Miners GDX, retraced to 50%.

Thursday, price action tested that level and closed lower.

On the chart below, we’re going to present price action facts; leaving out ‘hyperinflation’, YouTube grifting, ‘dollar destruction’, ‘it’s all ending tomorrow’, click-bait.

Before getting to the chart, let’s add, on this site, it’s always been about the food supply first, then gold and silver, link here (not advice, not a recommendation).

The video at left, is five years old.

Since then, there’s been a massive learning curve concerning livestock.

All but one of those hens is gone now, she being retired, having produced 850 – 900 eggs.

Others have been brought in to continue the supply.

Now, on to the click-bait 🙂

Senior Miners GDX, Daily

GDX, posted an up-thrust, March 2nd, then collapsed a whopping -32.8%; read that, as ‘coincidental’ 33%.

It’s now retraced to 50%, and also in a potential channel.

Volume for yesterday contracted on the test, but it was also a pre-holiday trading day.

So, let’s just note that and not put undue weight on the fact, commitment to the upside was weak (not advice, not a recommendation).

SOXX … ‘Gut Punch’

April 2, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, Semiconductors, SOXS, SOXS-26-02, SOXX Leave a comment

‘Threatening’ Price Action

As of this post (11:31 a.m., EST) SOXX, price action is threatening to print a new daily high.

No matter what direction the market’s going to decide, new bull move or beginning of the bear, it will not let anyone get aboard comfortably.

To use a quote from yesterday:

“This is what markets do”

If this ‘last chance’ at posting a new high fails and the SOXX retreats from here, it’s possible the bulls have shown exhaustion (not advice, not a recommendation).

Semiconductors SOXX, Daily

Once again, we’re at The Danger Point®, where the risk on a short-trade, is least (not advice, not a recommendation).

Nvidia … at the Trend Line

April 1, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, NVDA, Semiconductors, Up-Thrust, Wyckoff 1 Comment

Another Reversal?

Nvidia penetrated support and rebounded.

Now, it’s near a contact point on a downtrend line, that’s also part of a trading channel.

Behavior of the market as it pushed above resistance (up-thrust), then below support (spring) is clearly demonstrated.

This is what markets do, have done, for over a century.

As far back as 1902, in Wyckoff’s autobiography, he figured out that such movements have ‘nothing to do with valuations’ (not advice, not a recommendation).

Using the ‘Retrace’

March 31, 2026 By in Artificial Intelligence, GLW, GW-26-09, NVDA, Semiconductors, SOXS, SOXS-26-01, SOXX 2 Comments

Who’s Retracing The Least?

Today was a sharply higher in the SOXX, with 50% retrace (from the 3/25, high) on both a close and print basis.

The short trade, SOXS-26-01, was stopped-out (with profit) as yesterdays’ low was hit.

Looking at price action, Corning GLW, had ‘ease-of-movement’ lower yesterday, only partially retraced today (unlike SOXX and NVDA, for example).

In addition, the retrace was 38.2%, on both a print and close basis (lower than SOXX).

Repositioned short, as GLW-26-09, with stop at Monday’s high (not advice, not a recommendation).
