Semiconductors HOLDRS (NYSE: SMH) Scores
Big Says Market Timer Frank Kollar
December 22, 2009 (FinancialWire) (By Frank Kollar)
Shares for the Semiconductors HOLDRS ETF (NYSE: SMH) reached
their pre-bear market highs in 2007, before declining from
their $39 high, down to below $15 a share at their bear
market lows. Their recovery in 2009 has now reached almost
to the 50% retracement level.
Typically the 50% retracement acts as strong resistance
and if decisively surpassed, acts as a springboard to the
next resistance level at 61.8%.
For SMH, the 50% retracement is at $27.93. SMH gapped
higher on Monday, December 21 to close at $27.62, just
1% shy of this level.
If SMH can close above $27.93 in coming days, look for
a continued rally to $31.11, the 61.8% retracement level,
some 12.6% higher.
