Despite the recent dip in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks, the long-term trend could continue to skew toward the upside. A strong spate of tech earnings could bolster AI further, opening up opportunities in semiconductors.
Because chips provide the hardware necessary in order to run artificial intelligence (AI) applications, the semiconductor industry's performance is proverbially attached to the hip of AI. That said, traders can continue riding the strength of the AI wave with the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull and Bear 3X Shares (SOXL).
The AI boom in semiconductor equities could easily flip into a period of selling due to high valuations and the potential for unexpected rises in inflation and interest rates. The Direxion Daily Semiconductor 3x Bull ETF may soon experience a painful correction or crash, from its ultra-leveraged design. Technical momentum in SOXL has reversed in favor of sellers since February, perhaps indicating an exhaustion of buying interest.
The bull market of 2023/2024 continues to defy expectations. The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF has seen impressive returns, up 70%+ in three months. The outlook for SOXL remains bullish, with strong earnings growth rates and a positive technical picture.
Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares SOXL surged to new 25-month highs between March 1 and March 8, which Benzinga pointed out was likely to happen on Feb. 29.
