Two major Parabolic SAR flips rocked the semiconductor landscape today: NVDA and AVGO both flipped BULLISH, snapping extended bearish streaks. Meanwhile, MU and INTC remain entrenched in bearish territory, and AMD has joined them after flipping bearish earlier this week. BofA analyst Vivek Arya made waves by calling NVDA's valuation "compelling" at a 7-year low โ the same day the stock reclaimed its bullish SAR signal. Let's dive in.
| Index | Price | Change |
|---|---|---|
| S&P 500 | 7,473.72 | -0.40% |
| NASDAQ | 25,782.91 | -0.14% |
| DJIA | 52,317.48 | -1.15% |
| VIX | 16.94 | +5.02% |
Markets are mixed-to-down as global sentiment sours. The Nikkei 225 plunged 2.11%, the DAX dropped 2.23%, and the KOSPI collapsed 5.35%. The only notable bright spot: Hang Seng Index surged 2.99%. The VIX creeping toward 17 suggests anxiety remains elevated. In this environment, two semiconductor titans just flashed bullish SAR signals โ that's worth paying attention to.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| SAR Value | $189.80 |
| Signal | Bullish (Day 1) |
| Flip Distance | -5.29% |
| Previous Signal | Bearish (Day 19+) |
| Daily Change | +1.97% |
| 52-Week Range | $161.16 โ $236.54 |
NVDA finally broke its 19+ day bearish SAR streak today, flipping bullish at $189.80. The flip was triggered by today's rally above $200, pushing price decisively above the declining SAR line. This is a textbook bullish reversal: the SAR dot moved from $200.64 (resistance above) to $189.80 (support below).
Catalyst: BofA's Vivek Arya reiterated a Buy rating with a $350 price target, calling NVDA's valuation "compelling" at a 7-year low. Arya emphasized NVDA's "durable high-quality growth" and noted the stock is now cheaper than Apple, Microsoft, and Meta on forward P/E basis.
Additional tailwinds: China plans to let top AI firms buy limited H200 chips (Reuters), and Perplexity confirmed plans to use NVDA's Vera CPU. Jim Cramer noted "everyone hates" NVDA right now โ often a contrarian signal.
The flip is real, but the question is sustainability. With the broader market shaky and NVDA still down ~15% from its 52-week high of $236.54, the SAR needs follow-through. Watch for $200 to hold as psychological support.
| Metric | Value |

| SAR Value | $356.43 |

| Flip Distance | -9.52% |
| Previous Signal | Bearish (Day 20) |
| Daily Change | +6.28% |
AVGO just snapped a 20-day bearish SAR streak in dramatic fashion โ surging 6.28% today to decisively flip bullish. At $394.06, AVGO has nearly 10% of cushion above its SAR flip level of $356.43. That's the widest margin of any bull signal in today's scan.
AVGO's flip is fueled by the broader "AI infrastructure" rotation โ while pure-play chip stocks have struggled, networking and infrastructure plays like Broadcom are gaining favor. The sentiment score is neutral (+5), suggesting this rally may be stealthily building without excessive retail hype.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| SAR Value | $1,210.74 |
| Signal | Bearish (Day 4) |
| Flip Distance | +28.10% |
| Previous Signal | Bullish |
| Daily Change | +0.62% |
MU remains deep in bearish territory. At $944.17, the stock needs a staggering 28.10% rally just to reach the SAR flip level at $1,210.74. This is the widest gap of any stock in our coverage. The DRAM pricing concerns, Michael Burry's reported short position, and the sell-off from $1,255 highs continue to weigh.
Today's +0.62% bounce is barely a rounding error. MU needs several strong sessions to even begin threatening the SAR resistance. For CDR holders (cost basis $49.14 CAD, current ~$44.65 CAD equivalent), the position remains under pressure. The sell targets of CDR $46-47 (MU $1,030+) still apply.
| Metric | Value |

| SAR Value | $581.47 |
| Signal | Bearish (Day 2) |
| Flip Distance | +13.43% |
| Previous Signal | Bullish (Day 13) |
| Daily Change | -0.78% |
AMD flipped bearish earlier this week after a 13-day bullish run, and today's -0.78% decline is extending the pain. The flip level at $581.47 is 13.4% away โ not insurmountable, but AMD needs a catalyst. Perplexity picking NVDA's Vera CPU over AMD chips was a psychological blow, reinforcing NVDA's ecosystem advantage.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| SAR Value | $138.49 |
| Signal | Bearish (Day 4) |
| Flip Distance | +29.80% |
| Previous Signal | Bullish |

INTC continues its downward spiral. At $107.55, the stock is trading at a fraction of its 52-week high of $142.35. With a 29.80% gap to the SAR flip at $138.49, and a -2.58% decline today, Intel shows no signs of technical recovery. Sentiment remains bearish (-40) amid manufacturing delays and market share losses.

NVDA's Bullish Flip Is The Headline: After 19+ days in bearish territory, NVDA's SAR flip to bullish at $189.80 is technically significant. Combined with BofA's "compelling value" call, Goldman's buy rating, and multiple catalysts (China H200 sales, Perplexity Vera deal), the fundamental case is aligning with the technical signal.
AVGO Joins the Bull Camp: Broadcom's 6.28% surge and bullish SAR flip on the same day as NVDA suggests a broader shift in AI semiconductor sentiment. Both stocks flipping on the same day is not coincidence โ it's sector rotation.
MU & INTC Remain Deeply Bearish: Both stocks need 28-30% rallies to flip. These are the weakest names technically. The DRAM overhang (MU) and execution concerns (INTC) are not priced out.
AMD Caught in the Middle: Freshly bearish at Day 2, AMD is neither as battered as MU/INTC nor flipping like NVDA/AVGO. The Perplexity snub stings, but at 13.4% from flip, AMD could recover faster than MU or INTC.
Broader Market Caution: Global indices are red across the board. The bullish flips in NVDA and AVGO are impressive, but they're swimming against a defensive macro tide. Watch the VIX โ above 17 would signal increased caution.
Tomorrow's session will test whether NVDA and AVGO's bullish flips have legs. Key levels to watch:
