AMD Shares Drop Amid Tepid AI Revenue Forecast. 💻 AMD's stock plummeted 8% premarket as its AI revenue guidance and 2025 chip sales goal underwhelmed investors, sparking concern over limited supply despite surging demand. With a potential $20 billion loss in market value, AMD faces heightened scrutiny compared to AI chip giant Nvidia, which analysts view as less impacted by supply constraints. Reuters reports.

Trading Intel: A Real-World Example


Let’s look at Intel as an example. Suppose Intel has a gap in its price action, where it has recently entered and begun to fill. Statistically, gaps are likely to fill around 70% of the time. If Intel were to pull back into a rotation zone near the gap level and hold, that would be a signal for me to go long, with a target set at the top of the gap.

By aligning price action analysis with patterns like rotation zones and double bottoms, I can make more informed trading decisions. And by monitoring broader economic indicators, like the 10-year yield, I gain insights into market sentiment that can enhance the accuracy of my trades.
