To The Moon

After a powerful rally in the semiconductor space, I've decided to lock in partial profits on my SOXL DCA position. The move isn't a shift in long-term conviction, but rather a recognition that markets rarely move in a straight line. When price accelerates too quickly, especially in leveraged instruments like SOXL, the risk-reward balance changes. Taking some gains off the table helps protect capital while still keeping exposure to further upside.

One of the clearest signals behind this decision is the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which has pushed up to around 85. At this level, the market is flashing signs of being overheated. While momentum can stay strong for some time, historically these conditions tend to precede short-term pullbacks or consolidation phases. It's not about calling a top, but about acknowledging that the probability of a near-term cooling period has increased.

Another factor is the nature of SOXL itself. As a triple-leveraged ETF, it amplifies both gains and losses. What feels like a manageable pullback in the underlying semiconductor index can translate into a much sharper drawdown in SOXL. By trimming into strength, I reduce downside volatility without fully exiting the position, which aligns better with a disciplined DCA strategy.

Importantly, this is not a bearish call on semiconductors or the broader AI-driven growth story. The structural demand drivers—from data centers to AI infrastructure—remain intact. My approach is simply to manage positioning more actively around extremes. Locking profits during euphoric phases creates flexibility and allows me to redeploy capital when conditions become more favorable again.

I fully intend to buy back during the next meaningful pullback. That's the core of my strategy: accumulate during weakness, and trim during strength. This cycle not only improves overall cost basis over time but also helps navigate the inherent volatility of leveraged products like SOXL.

As a retail investor, I focus mainly on the US and Singapore markets, combining a mix of technical trading and long-term investing strategies. I enjoy analyzing charts, spotting patterns, and making calculated moves based on both market sentiment and fundamentals. While I'm not a professional, I treat my portfolio seriously and continue to learn and grow with each trade.
