๐ป SanDisk dropped another -3.68% today, making it -48% from its 3-month high.
The entire flash memory sector is getting hammered, and SNDK is no exception. But when does "beaten down" become "bargain"?
The technicals:
โข Price at $1,212 โ below SMA5 ($1,307), which just crossed below SMA10 ($1,242)
โข RSI at 41.6 โ uncomfortable zone (not oversold enough to buy, not bullish enough to chase)
โข MACD deeply negative at -127 with expanding bearish histogram
โข Volume at 1.15x average โ slightly elevated selling pressure
โข Price is 48.1% below its 3-month high of $2,335
The bearish death cross (SMA5 crossing below SMA10) just printed, and that's usually followed by more pain, not less.
๐ฏ Key Levels:
Support: $1,016 (3-month low โ the last line of defense)
Resistance: $1,307 (SMA5) โ $1,393 (SMA20)
โก My take: This is a WAIT setup. The flash memory cycle will turn โ it always does. But the chart isn't giving us permission to enter yet.
I want to see:
1. RSI breaking below 30 (true capitulation)
2. A massive volume spike followed by a bullish engulfing candle
3. Price reclaiming the SMA5 with conviction
The storage sector is cyclical. What goes down 50% can go up 100%. But timing the bottom is an art, not a science. Patience pays.
Is the memory sector bottoming or just getting started on the downside? ๐
