Levels run from highest to lowest price. Bars show distance from the current price on a shared scale; row spacing does not represent price distance.

Assessment

Intel is 9.5 – 12.8% below its 20, 50 and 100-day averages; the 200-day below acts as support. RSI is 38, and MACD has been negative for 15 sessions. Price is above yesterday's 86.52 – 89.59 zone; the zone moves to between the 87.26 S1 and the 89.67 pivot. With ATR above 6% and earnings close, the stop is kept under the 81.79 low.

Reading the Volume

Last session's 98.8M shares edged past the 20-day average (1.01 times); interest is normal.

Scenarios

Scenarios on the Price Axis

Downside Trigger $87.26: − 6.2% · 1.0 ATR
Up / Down: 0.11
Upside Trigger $93.70: + 0.7% · 0.1 ATR

Next Stops: 86.06 → 84.05 → 81.79 → $81.50
Next Stops: 95.30 → $101.87

Levels come from the scenario text; only figures that match a recorded level are drawn. Distances are measured from the price above the rail.

Bull Case

The 92.88 R1 and the 93.70 peak are the gate; beyond them sit the 95.30 R2 and the 50-day at 101.87. For that breakout to be credible, post-earnings volume must run clearly above average.

Bear Case

A break of 87.26 and the 200-day at 86.06 would test the 84.05 S2 and the 81.79 low. The stop is at 81.50; losing the 200-day means losing medium-term support.

Behind the Levels

Targets: 95.30 is the R2 pivot, 101.87 the 50-day average.
Entry Zone: The 87.26 S1 and the 89.67 pivot; the 89.59 chart low marks the top edge.
Stop: Below the 81.79 chart low; about 1 ATR under the zone's lower edge.

What Does HOLD Mean?

Full Guide

The picture is mixed, or the trend is fine but price is far from the entry zone. There is not enough reason for a new purchase or for selling; the plan is waiting for a level to settle.

If You Don't Own It: No rush. If an entry zone is given, wait for price to reach it and for confirmation (a close that holds in the zone, above-average volume); without a zone, watch the listed supports and resistances.
If You Own It: HOLD does not mean sell: the position is held. Watch the stop if one is given, otherwise the nearest support; a break lower can turn the view to SELL.
All at Once or in Steps?: A new purchase comes after confirmation and is again spread across the zone. Waiting for a BUY view before adding avoids growing a position in a weakening stock.

The Other Views

BUYTrend up; entry zone, stop and targets defined.
SELLTrend down; no new buying, rallies are a chance to reduce.

Why the View Rarely Changes. The view is reviewed in every edition but changes only on a concrete trigger: a moving average breaking, price closing under the stop, or the entry zone being rebuilt. Indicators come from daily closes; the plan is written for readers of the daily chart, not for intraday trading.

Indicators

Indicators are calculated as of the Oct 26 close; prices are delayed 15 minutes.

Trend: Mixed; Below the 50-Day, Above the 200

Volume: Normal; 1.0× the Average

Moving Averages

The average close of the last 20, 50, 100 and 200 sessions. Above the average, buyers led that stretch; below it, sellers did.

20-Day: $102.81− 9.5%
50-Day: $101.87− 8.7%
100-Day: $105.63− 11.9%
200-Day: $86.06+ 8.1%

The percentage is the current price's distance from each average; the ladder measures from price to level.

RSI (14)

Neutral Zone

Measures how fast price has risen on a scale of 0 to 100. Above 70 means a fast run up, below 30 a fast drop; on its own it is not a buy or sell signal.

MACD (12, 26, 9)

Below Signal

Tracks the gap between two moving averages. When MACD sits above its signal line the move is speeding up; below it, slowing down.

MACD: -5.41
Signal: -3.36
Histogram: -2.05

Right of zero is positive; left is negative. The histogram is the difference between MACD and its signal.

93.70 peak: a close above it opens the way to the 95.30 R2 and the 50-day.
