Scott Redler’s Dog Bytes: Sloppy Action in Semis

Shares

SPY has had four hard down days since breaking the accelerated trend around $460. That confirmed the Bearish tape after losing the 8/21 day up near $468. We’ll see if we can play some type of oversold bounce today. Let’s see if we reclaim Friday's low of $437.95. Under there is a micro spot at $432 and then a more major one at $426.

The semis got sloppy like most tech sectors. SOXL broke below the 8/21 day and strength was sold all week as it hit $45.81 yesterday. See if there's a scalp long vs. a 5-15-30 minute low or if it reclaims the $43.42 pivot low from Friday. It's broken like everything else.

NVDA is purely a tactical trade as long as we are in this type of tape. It was rejected last week around $285 and then broke $271. Some did well short. It gave a red to green trade Friday and then rolled over. Maybe there's an opportunity vs. a 5-15-30 minute low around the 200 day if we get a signal to buy. See if it reclaims Friday's low at $232.66.

AMD lost special status as it broke the 8/21 day around $144 and it has been for sale ever since then. It broke $125 to give clues of more selling in the semis. It gives some two way action like Friday long and short. Now, see if there's a signal to buy for a red to green trade. The 200 day is right here. See if it reclaims Friday’s low of $118.39.
