Semiconductors Send Out Warning Signs $SMH

Semiconductors have led this market for almost two years. The upside move on the semiconductor ETF $SMH has been insane. However, in recent weeks something major has changed. The semi’s have rolled sharply, even as the stock market makes new all-time highs. This should be a big warning sign not just for the semi’s but for the entire market. While end of year window dressing and light volume may keep the markets at all-time highs, it is likely there is trouble brewing in early 2018. In addition, the semiconductor index has a classic bear flag formation and is unable to get back over the daily 50 moving average. I have it penciled in that the semiconductor ETF SMH will see another big leg down in the first quarter of 2018, hitting $89.75. This is another 10% drop in the index. For investors, just simply compare the chart of the semi’s before from the start of 2016 to November 2017. Then compare and see the divergence in December. It is shocking. Note the chart below.

 

Carmax Inc (NYSE:KMX) Steered Off Course After Earnings

Today, leading used auto retailer Carmax Inc (NYSE:KMX) is sinking lower after reporting earnings. Currently, KMX stock is trading down by 4.29 percent to $65.55 a share. The stock is now trading slightly under its important 200-day moving average which is a bearish indication for the shares. Traders must now look at the $61.50 as the next major chart support level for the stock. This support area is where the stock was defended in June 2017. Very often, the institutional traders will support an equity when it retests and retraces into important prior levels. Keep this support area on the radar as that will be where I look to get into KMX stock on the long (buy) side.

Why I Am Considering A Short On Intel Corporation

Shares of Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) have rocketed higher in recent months after earnings showed signs of life. However, the run may have just topped out. Note this trend line stretching back to 2012. I am starting to look more closely at a swing short trade on shares of Intel Corporation. The pull back target in 2018 would be $38.00. Part of me thinks it could pop to $50 into year end, but anywhere between $47.50 and $50.00 is a solid accumulation short zone.

 

Major Short Swing Trade Level Approaching On Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX)

In the last two trading weeks, Freeport-McMoRan Inc (NYSE:FCX) has spiked almost 25%. This recent spike higher has been on hopes of economic growth in 2018 due to corporate tax cuts. However, the underlying commodities like gold and copper are not confirming this move. While I would not short Freeport-McMoRan Inc yet, there is a quickly approaching major level. The level is around $18.75 and is found by connecting the highs from late 2015, late 2016 and early 2017. When connected, this trend line gives you a dead swing trade short level of $18.75. Shares of Freeport-McMoRan Inc are only a little over a Dollar away. Every past hit of this trend line has caused a massive drop in the stock. Ready to lock and load a short here, heads up.

 

Winnebago Industries Inc (NYSE:WGO) Heads South After Earnings

This morning, leading recreational vehicle (RV) manufacturer Winnebago Industries Inc (NYSE:WGO) is coming under selling pressure after reporting earnings. The RV giant traded as high as $58.65 at the open before rolling over. Currently, WGO stock is trading lower by $4.20 to $53.20 a share. The daily chart pattern is now signaling a high volume reversal day (bearish engulfing bar) and this should lead to further downside in the coming trading sessions. Traders should now watch for important daily chart support around the $49.00 level. This level is where the stock broke out of a weekly chart base in mid-November.
