Major Trendlines Break, Semiconductor Trade Implodes, Institutions Got You! Here's The Target
The semiconductor trade just gave the single most bearish candle signal you can get, and it happened at all-time highs. In this video I break down the reversal engulfing candle on the SOX, the Micron and SanDisk breakdowns, where the S&P and NASDAQ bull-market trend lines actually break, and how capital is rotating out of semis into beaten-down names and crypto. I also cover the exact levels where I would step in as a buyer, and why I'm still patient here.
CHAPTERS
00:00 Have the semis officially topped out?
00:57 The big SOX drop and the warning signs
01:19 Reversal engulfing candle: the king of bearish signals
03:35 SanDisk breakdown and the scene of the crime
04:25 Micron: the reversal nobody wanted to see
06:30 Analyst upgrades as topping signals (FOMO exit liquidity)
08:00 Being the casino, not the gambler
09:30 Why the S&P held up: rotation of capital
10:50 The bull-market trend lines that matter
12:25 Micron buy zones I'm watching
14:20 SanDisk levels, crypto rotation, and the wrap
