$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ The $90 resistance level keeps holding. Every attempt gets turned back at this area. It would be nice to see a push toward $95 at this point.
$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ JPM upgraded the price target to $125. I think we get back above $100 within the next 5 trading days regardless of market conditions. We got badly burned last Friday, so this feels like payback.
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ 145.09Chips are holding up pretty well in the face of higher rates, and after running up the past week. It's a battle between higher rates being bad for cyclical and cap-intensive AI data centers, versus price-insensitive mega cap companies, governments, and billionaires spending trillions in the AI arms race.
$VanEck Semiconductor ETF(SMH)$ SOXL finished up 15.9% at $141.93. I'm long from $111.50, so that's a gain of $30.43, or 27.3%. My stop was moved to breakeven at $111.50 and is now at $121.50. Back on Aug 24, I said SMH was a house of pain and to stay open-minded about rotation. Rotation did show up, and the $578 close was the first real tell. Now we've got the second. The pattern looks like a rounding base or inverse head and shoulders. The neckline was the $575–$585 band, which had the falling 50-day moving average and the August shelf. That level has now broken. My momentum indicator is +10.5%, leading the 50-day RS ratio, which has flipped positive. Volume is only +5%, but it's above average for the first time since July 31. I'd like to se
$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ The weekly EMA 20 has been cleared, and there's a clear air pocket on the chart. Momentum is highly likely to push SOXL up toward the next psychological overhead level around $150.00 – $152.00.
$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ IREN was talking about compute rates of 20 paying back in 3 years. CoreWeave just signed 40M per MW, and Mush mentioned as high as 50. NeoClouds with a lot of capacity should be going ballistic. CoreWeave already has almost as much capacity up as SpaceX.
Intel is an American chipmaker with something most of its competitors don't have. There's a part of the Intel story that I think gets overlooked. Intel is an American company. It was founded in California in 1968, is headquartered in Silicon Valley, and has spent decades developing semiconductor technology and manufacturing capacity inside the United States. Compared with the major fabless chip designers, Intel possesses something strategically different. It has the ability to design leading edge processors and manufacture leading edge logic chips on American soil using Intel's own manufacturing technology and fabs. Intel actually manufactures leading edge chips in America. That distinction matters. Companies like NVIDIA and AMD are largely fabless semiconductor companies. They design some
$CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ I think NVDA might be in talks to acquire them, and they have already invested $2 billion. Maybe they asked for a debt offering?
