While NVDA steals the spotlight with AI fervor and vertical price action, Intel is moving with quiet intent. Under the surface of a noisy tech cycle, INTC is sculpting a formation that few are watching—but one that may offer asymmetric reward into year-end.
1. The Technical Setup
Zoom out: we see the outline of a broad descending wedge stretching from the 2023 highs. Price is respecting the lower bound while starting to carve higher lows. However, momentum remains indecisive.
Now zoom in: after failing the 21.90 test, INTC is fading back toward the 20.20–20.35 gap zone. What would be the most likely course of events? A slow gravitational pull to fill that gap, followed by a compression phase within the wedge.
The most strategic spot for long exposure is not today, but after the retest. This is especially true if the volume stays low and the wedge keeps growing.
2. Macro Context
While thousands of NVDA GPUs are being sold, INTC is strategically pivoting its industrial operations to regain control over chip production. As tensions rise over subsea cables involving Starlink, Taiwan, nearshoring, the brains of humanoid robots powered by INTC, and geopolitics, domestic semiconductor companies with foundry exposure are becoming increasingly strategic.
INTC isn't the crowd favorite—but it may be the infrastructure sleeper.
3. The Options Play
The December $25c offers leverage on a slow-grinding recovery, with IV priced modestly. A wedge breakout by Q4—fueled by either macro industrial tailwinds or sector rotation—could double these premiums even before delta ramps.
This is not a "fast money" trade. It’s positioning before the wedge snaps, not chasing after it.
Occasionally the best trades aren’t loud. They coil in silence. And when they move—they don’t look back.
