As a follow-up to the recent update on the SOXX / SOXS Active Short Trade, highlighting the objective short entry or add-on to that position as SOXX is currently backtesting the recently broken primary uptrend line from below, here’s a few leading semiconductors stocks that help to support my case that the semiconductors are most likely poised for a substantial correction in the coming months. Any or all of these stocks could provide objective short entries but in keeping the official trade ideas manageable, for the time being I will leave SOXX / SOXS as the only official short trade idea for exposure to the semiconductor sector.
INTC (Intel Corp), the 800 lb. gorilla in the semiconductor arena, has recently broken down below & backtested its primary uptrend line from below following a divergent high & appears to be headed lower in the coming months, undoubtedly taking the sector down with it if so.
