The President, The US Government, Nancy Pelosi, Nvidia, SoftBank, Lip-Bu Tan, and most major Hedge Funds - ALL own stake in $INTC. And you are bearish? Nothing can stop Intel. I asked Grok, who gives a ~30-40% chance that SK Hynix and Apple both have / will have stake in Intel.

$INTC I want to reiterate on this beautiful Saturday a few points I made that feels missed in this overt price manipulation and with it, sentiment deterioration. I will not be phased. It is imperative to trust the team at Intel. They know what they are doing. Going into the rest of the year, with Summer behind us, I strongly believe something huge is in store in the next month. Our CEO Lip-Bu Tan would not be purchasing stock if he did not believe the same. I made the following statements right after Q2 earnings release and would be amiss if I did not reiterate / remind. To the team at Intel: Thank you for continuing your hard work. This is what execution looks like. A company ruled down and out. A company that continues to get hate. A company that is always underestimated, undermined, and overlooked. This company has started a generational turnaround. And we are Just. Getting. Started. Executives like @LipBuTan1, @magicsilicon, @asheaw, and many others at Intel like @Hipsher, who take time to interact with their supporters. Intel is one of the few companies whose team actually interact on this platform directly with their community. I respect that. A lot. I will never stop writing about all the great the company is doing, as best I can. There is a lot of subject matter there to point to. Let’s show the world NOW what Intel is about… LONG. LIVE. INTEL.

$INTC Technicals 8/16 - ATHs, see you soon... again. Strap in, this is a comprehensive piece. Price for Intel is $102.50 at close 8/14. Here is first a reminder that Intel is down -28% from ATHs. From the late-June peak into the July lows (around $81.79), the stock was down more than -40% at the worst point. It has bounced since then, but it is still meaningfully lower than where it was a month or so ago. So while the YTD performance remains very strong (+177%), the stock is still in a significant correction from its highs and has underperformed the broader sector’s recent recovery in relative terms over the last 1.5 months. - Fib (61.8%) has held its level of support extremely well. 9 daily EMA (~$100.04) and SMA (~$100.74) continues to hold support line, as well. Still trading above all major MAs except the 50MA which is not far from closing price on Friday ($102.61). - A break off of this orange line in the middle will lead to a massive break for a home run rally. - RSI has recovered from oversold territory and is now sitting right around the midpoint. This is neutral-to-constructive. - TMO / TTM are showing that momentum is beginning to turn positive while volatility remains compressed. This is basically low volatility with early signs of directional energy building (upwards). This is a constructive internal signal. When the ribbons start turning higher while price is still inside a squeeze, it often precedes the volatility expansion. It supports the idea that underlying momentum is quietly improving even while the stock looks quiet on the surface. - Ulcer Index is at 11.97 and declining. Drawdown pressure is easing after the sharp July decline. - Price is trading in the upper half of the Bollinger bands but still well below the upper band, consistent with a consolidation phase inside a broader range. - This chart is in a daily squeeze (black crosses still active) with early positive momentum signals (green dots appearing). - Structure-wise, the market has completed a downside BOS (break of structure) and is now coiling inside a potential accumulation range above the key 0.618 Fib level ($94.74) and the major dark-pool zone near $97.71. - The setup remains one of low volatility preparing for an expansion move. A squeeze release, combined with a decisive break of the ~$106 zone, would be the bullish trigger. Manipulation: My prior charting had the flag breakout, which it did - but the stock has seemed to be overtly suppressed and oversold in the last couple months. Now, I know why. Institutional activity and likely combined with the fact that they knew share offering was happening. This is fairly common to exhaust retail buyers, force liquidity, and then they ultimately acquire shares off-exchange, or in the open market. What is hilarious is JP Morgan underwrote the share offering and then still had Intel as a top short and purposely had sell-side stay underweight, while they keep acquiring shares. Anyway ... Greenshoe: Now, the greenshoe is in effect too. As we know, Intel upsized the common stock sale to $20B priced at $95/share to fund foundry/AI capex. This is also the price at which CEO Lip-Bu Tan bought $10M in shares on the open market. Underwriters (investment banks) hold a ~$3B 30-day over-allotment option to buy extra shares and stabilize price if it falls below $95. This implies limited downside for buyers. With the stock recently trading above $100 and strong demand (5x oversubscribed offering), the mechanism provides price protection, supporting the view that Intel has low risk of losses near-term. Darkpool: In the case you missed my post on the darkpool print August 11th - Intel printed 12.06 million shares in the dark pool at $97.71. That is roughly $1.18 billion in notional and 10.81% of average daily volume. Total volume that day hit 164 million shares. $97.71 has not been touched since. Price moved higher in the sessions that followed and has held well above it. This is your clear support level. Every time Intel has seen $500M - $1B+ dark pool activity at a key level, meaningful upside has followed. Last time had $500M+ of orders, price traded at $20 and went on a run to $32. The August 11th print at $97.71 is the latest in that sequence. April 28th: $1.1B of Darkpool orders printed at market close, at $84.52. After April 28th, the stock flew past $84.52 and gained +66% to ATHs in 2 months. January 28th: $500M premium of darkpool orders printed at market close, at $48.78. This is 11,330,148 shares traded, representing 10.34% avg volume. December 20th, 2025: $1.4B premium of darkpool orders at $36.82 (price at close). The stock ran up to $54 before cooling off again. Gametime: The setup is still constructive on the longer timeframe (above the 200-day, major dark-pool support held, positive internal momentum signals). The moment it breaks this $106-$107 resistance and the 50EMA, it will move quicker than you can react. I know it sounds insane but my price target to end this year is well into $175, if not $200 (which is our trillion dollar market cap). I have been right more often than I have been wrong. Catalysts: 1. $GOOGL Google and $AAPL Apple remain the biggest potential catalysts. Any confirmation from the customers themselves, even though we know it's happening, would be a real slap to the faces of those who doubt. 2. $SKHY SK Hynix collaboration. With former SK Hynix CEO now running Intel’s advanced packaging, and active talks on EMIB for HBM and possible Ohio fab operating partnership - this could send it. 3. 14A progress. PDK 0.9 is expected in October. Multiple big names ($AMD and $NVDA Nvidia included, alongside Apple) are evaluating it. Never say never. Due diligence tells us we are further along in some of these than you think. Firm capacity commitments in H2 would be a major signal. 4. Memory. That is all I have to say about that. We are about to go on a generational rally. LONG. LIVE. INTEL.
