SOXX slips 2.2% and stays boxed between two tight moving averages

August 28, 2026

Our view last week

SOXX, the semiconductor ETF, gave back last week's calm fast. This week the price drops 5.5% as sellers take 89% of the volume, a sharp reversal from the past 3 weeks of buyer dominance. Money flow flips negative again, and the weekly technical analysis points back to a distribution phase.

This week's summary

SOXX's rebound stalled again: the semiconductor ETF gives back 2.2% and stays squeezed between the 20-week average and the 100-day average, a tight range that won't let either side break free. Sellers still control the tape but less forcefully than last week, 66% versus 89% of volume, while money flow slides further into negative territory. A technical analysis case worth watching closely.
