Semis look like they could repeat a 2016 rally when stocks roared 73% higher (via TradingNation)
"It looks a lot like 2013 and 2016 to us speaking in terms of the Philadelphia Semiconductor SOX index," Wald said Monday on CNBC's ". " "This was the last time that the index punched through year-long resistance after at least a 20% decline, and in those prior periods the index went on to rally for at least another year and pullbacks were buyable."
The SOX index fell by more than 20% from June 2015 through August 2015. From that trough to the end of 2016, the index roared more than 70% higher. The index had a similar setup in 2011 through 2013. However, the chipmaker stocks do need to hold onto critical support for the rally to continue, Wald said.
"The assumption is that it does as long as the breakout holds, as long as you're above the breakout at 1,445 which was the January 2018 peak. You buy the pullbacks and the long-term uptrend continues," he said. Chips stocks plummeted Monday after President Donald Trump threatened increased tariffs on a slew of Chinese products. If the trade dispute comes to a resolution, chips stocks appear to have a path to recovery, said"Obviously you have to assume that this China noise goes away. If you take that assumption, then you also need to buy into the idea that chips should be recovering by the second half of this year or the first half of next year," she said on Monday's "Trading Nation.
