Divergence alert

SMH has no major trend-momentum divergence.

Trend and momentum inputs are close enough that the cleaner read is the headline tape score, not a special divergence warning.

Scoring model

Active indicators drive SMH's tape score

The headline tape cards above are calculated from rows that returned usable values. Each horizon uses its own lookback profile, and momentum-family weights are capped so MACD cannot drown out trend, volatility, and flow.

TECHi history-derived fallback

Availability adjusted

Active rows only

The model scores the weighted votes returned by the active indicator set.

Horizon-aware

Fast, swing, and long-term profiles

Short windows lean on fast momentum; 6M and 1Y reads use slower trend and averaged momentum proxies.

Confirmed by flow

VWAP, MFI, OBV and A/D caps

Volume and money-flow inputs validate momentum while family caps prevent a single indicator cluster from owning the score.

MACD crossing above the signal line usually marks improving momentum; crossing below usually marks fading momentum. TECHi does not treat either as a standalone trade signal.

Technical methodology

SMH technical setup without black-box chart widgets.

This page separates trend, momentum, volatility, volume, and cycle indicators. The horizon score is a weighted read-through from available technical indicator rows, with trend weights scaled by recent volatility, volume rows used as confirmation, and longer horizons acting as a directional filter on short-term tape moves. It is not a price target or standalone trade recommendation.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

What do the SMH technical indicators show?

The page separates the available VanEck Semiconductor ETF trend, momentum, moving-average, and signal-spread values so conflicting signals remain visible instead of being collapsed into one score.

How current are the SMH technicals?

TECHi keeps the Technicals route only when its indicator or supporting price-history evidence is recent. The page redirects to the main quote when that evidence is missing or too old.

Can I trade SMH using only these technicals?

No. Technical indicators are research context, not a trading system. Compare the values shown with current news, financial data, and the price history that is actually available for SMH.
