Major chips look slightly weak on Monday, as traders are still focusing on the Middle East more than anything else. With higher rates, chips suffer.

NVDA Technical Analysis

NVIDIA looks like it’s going to be very soft at the open, as there are a lot of concerns around the world with the war seemingly not ending anytime soon, although we do have a ceasefire still in place.

Interest rates have jumped as a result, and that, of course, works against companies like Nvidia. Ultimately, this is a market that I think, given enough time, probably finds buyers, and we are starting to see indices trying to at least recover, so I think this is a pullback waiting to be bought into.

MU Technical Analysis

Micron looks like it’s going to be a little bit soft, but not as dramatic as Nvidia, as it remains very bullish, and I think this continues to be the story. Anytime this pulls back I think there are a lot of people who would be willing to start buying.

The market remains very widely risk-averse, but I think you’ve got a situation where anytime there’s good news, pretty much everything rises. We are in the midst of trying to turn things around and go to the upside for a longer-term move, but as things stand right now, it looks like we’re just a little bit soft.

AMD Technical Analysis

Advanced Micro Devices a little stretched anyway going into the market, it certainly makes a certain amount of sense that we get a pullback. The $220 level is an area I’d be very interested in if we get that opportunity. To the upside, the $266.50 level was a scene of resistance multiple times in the past.

I think that will be your real fight if we can get above there. Ultimately, this is a market where you are looking for value in the form of pullbacks in order to get involved with a floor just below the $200 level.
