"Continues to drive higher, with a target zone of 675 to 712 and a cycle trough due around early fall."

Analyst's reasoning:SMH is in a strong uptrend with buying at the EMA. Next upside target is the 675-712 zone, and a cycle low is due around early fall. Short-term momentum has turned up nicely.

"The CBOE Semiconductor ETF Volatility Index surged 83% in 2026, its biggest annual increase ever, signaling classic bubble behavior."

Analyst's reasoning:Stocks up alongside volatility is textbook bubble dynamics, mirroring gold's pattern before its January peak. The SOX index's 94% 2026 gain is its best since 1999, adding to overheating concerns.
