The Semiconductor ETF $SMH Is Falling And Here Is Where It's Going

Today, the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSEArca:SMH) is declining lower by 0.52 to $103.17 a share. This important ETF represents the semiconductor sector which is often a leading indicator for the tech heavy NASDAQ Composite. It should be noted that the SMH has lagged the NASDAQ Composite recently and that is generally a bearish indication for the tech sector.

A couple of days ago the SMH tested it's 200-day moving average around the $102.00 level. Should the SMH close below this key support level it would indicate more downside in the near term. The next major support level for the SMH would be around the $95.50 level. This support area is where the SMH pivoted and bottomed on April 25, 2018. This area should still be major support when retested.
