$SMH Wedging Here – It Can Break Either Way

9월 16일

I have been long SMH for months and have been up as much as 18%. I have given a lot of that back and am now watching this chart very closely. I did hang in for that 29% drop (shown on chart) and felt it was a shake-out. It started recovering nicely but dipped again. The only positive thing I can say about this chart is that it has managed to put in a higher low (but has it?).

I am watching this wedging pattern and looking for it to break either way. My bias since I am long is to break up and out. But I am prepared for a breakdown as well. I have an alert on both the upper and lower trendlines. Should it break up, I will add to my position and should it breakdown I am ready to sell my position and consider shorting. All TBD.

Thanks for checking it out. Comments always welcome.
