Semiconductor Index Shapes ’Bull Flag’

Published 21/05/2025, 05:29

While we wait for the Russell 2000 (IWM) to push past the March swing high, we have a Semiconductor Index ($SOX) ready to break past a small ’bull’ flag, using the 200-day MA to leverage the push higher.

Technically, the CCI is a ’sell’ but other indicators are bullish, including a relative performance advantage over the Nasdaq 100.
