Technical Analysis – Intel stock battles with 50-day SMA

Intel shares advance after consolidation period But struggle to conquer the 50-day SMA Momentum indicators turn positive Intel’s stock had been stagnant since late January, following a significant bearish price gap in the aftermath of the firm’s Q4 earnings announcement.

Artificial Intelligence: Is the ‘baby bubble’ ready to pop?

Technical Analysis – Intel in risk of sizeable correction if another breakout proves false

Intel managed to record a strong day yesterday, trying desperately to join the AI frenzy that has been driving the market aggressively higher. However, it remains stuck inside the wide 24.63-31.27 rectangle that has formed since September 2, 2022. Three false upward breakouts have taken place up to now, increasing the importance and the difficulty in breaking this range-trading pattern.

Technical Analysis – Intel back inside the rectangle; bearish tendencies intensify

Intel stock settled yesterday at 29.60, below the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) for the first time since March 29. Actually, the stock has been trading inside a tight 24.63-31.27 rectangle that has formed since September 2, 2022 with the early April upside breakout proving to be a false one. History suggests a retest of the rectangle lows, which coincides with the message conveyed by the momentum indicators. The Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) has returned above the 25-threshold

Intel stock settled yesterday at 29.64, just below the recent high of 31.27. It has been a brutal 18-month period for the stock until the bulls finally managed to stage strong support at the 24.63-25.29 area during the fourth quarter of 2022. These levels are the basis for the formed double bottom pattern that appears to be affecting the price action.  Historically, this type of structure is considered a significant reversal pattern, but prone to false breakouts.

Weekly Comment – NFP miss crushes USD; can a CPI jump limit the damage?

USD’s attempt to halt its downtrend suffered a major blow after Friday’s massive miss in the nonfarm payrolls estimate. There is still hope for a near-term rebound, however, as inflation and retail sales numbers are coming up next week. EUR has shot above $1.21 after the NFP report but GBP is more cautious. What to watch: The Bank of England surprised markets by announcing it will reduce its weekly bond purchases, although it is keeping its QE size unchanged.
