What is SMH?

VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) tracks the largest U.S.-listed semiconductor companies — chip designers, foundries, equipment makers, and related names that power AI, PCs, phones, and data centers.

Why does SMH matter for markets?

Semis often lead tech cycles both up and down. When SMH breaks its moving averages or reclaim levels, broader Nasdaq weakness or recovery frequently follows.

What is a good SMH level for alerts?

These are common levels traders set email alerts around — click the chart to place a line at any of them.

50-day moving average
A close below the 50SMA often flags short-term semi momentum breaking — and can precede broader tech weakness.
200-day moving average
A break of the 200SMA is serious regime-risk for semis; reclaiming it is a classic major-low candidate.
Prior swing lows / necklines
Semis respect clear horizontal supports; a daily close below the last major low is a breadth-break warning.
