As tech resumes leadership, after a lacklustre summer, driving that are a number of names that are powering the index move. While one could make an argument for a number of stocks, the one that has a clean set-up is Intel (INTC). Earnings are about month away, but the move is happening now.
Specifically:
Congestion/ Consolidation zone between $85-$108 formed over last 2 months.
Thursday’s breakout (up 7.7%) carrying above the threshold. Volume backed the move.
Momentum and Trend indicators are supporting the breakout.
What Are The Risks? A slip back into the congestion zone remains a possibility given how nascent the breakout is. Protect long positions with a $99 stop.
