Technical Analysis,  Wolfe Waves

Since the U.S. Treasury announced it would regulate U.S. investment in China because artificial intelligence could harm U.S. national security, the Semiconductor Index has been on the decline.

So let's take a closer look at SOX (the semiconductor index).

The SOX starts a downturn?

A bullish Wolfe Wave has been detected in the daily period.
As you can see, TP1: 3590 was has been reached, and we have a break of the Wolfe Wave line (2-4) on August 9th, 2023.

In addition,we broke the MA.50 and we did a gap the next trading day, around 3593


Adding to this the Fibonacci levels, SOX could reach the following target estimates on the downside:
TP2: 3452-3335 ( 23.6% Fibonacci).
TP3: 3237-3176 (MA.200)
And on the upside, we could close the gap to around 464.64.

Add to this the MACD-zero shift making a bearish crossover, since August 2nd, 2023.

In the meantime, stay safe and enjoy your trading!
