Technical breakdown in sector leadership via momentum exhaustion and support failure.
Extended read
The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), a primary proxy for the AI trade, is flashing technical warning signs. Despite positive internals in other sectors, the failure of SMH to maintain weekly support levels suggests a cooling of the momentum that has driven the index higher. Traders are watching for a confirmed trend reversal, which could lead to broader index volatility given the high weighting of semiconductor names in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.
