CleaRank AI analysis of SOXX
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
SOXX shows a mixed trend. The price, $493.24, is 8.24% below its 50-day average of $537.55, yet it stands 5.46% above its 200-day average of $467.69. The 50-day average is 14.94% above the 200-day, but the price has dipped beneath the shorter average. Inside its 52-week range of $260.44 to $655.95, the price sits at 59%, and it is 24.81% below the high.
SOXX's 14-day RSI of 33.1 places it in the bearish zone without reaching oversold territory, and the MACD line is negative. Short-term and long-term readings disagree here. Over the past month the price rose 0.43%, but over the past three months it fell 3.37%, while the past year brought a rise of 74.48%.
- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 50-day SMA at $537.55 overhead and the 200-day SMA at $467.69 underneath.
- The 14-day RSI reads 33.1, in the bearish zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- Costs compound: at 0.33% a year, SOXX charges $33.00 on every $10,000 invested.
The trend is mixed: SOXX is above its 200-day average at $467.69 but below its 50-day average at $537.55. A close above the 50-day would turn both signals up, and a close below the 200-day would turn both down. The nearest levels are the 200-day SMA at $467.69 below and the 50-day SMA at $537.55 above.
Momentum, with the RSI in the bearish zone, still points lower.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in SOXX, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in SOXX today could grow to about $29,299 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $120,679 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $7,114. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.22% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
SOXX 2030 Scenarios (Monte Carlo)
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $758 for SOXX by 2030 in the base case, from $493 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $310. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on SOXX's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $351 | $549 | $859 | |
| 2028 | $325 | $612 | $1,152 | |
| 2029 | $314 | $681 | $1,479 | |
| 2030 | $310 | $758 | $1,856 | |
