What the numbers say

CleaRank Financial AI's reading of SOXX's holdings, performance and risks.

The fund

SOXX is a Technology fund from iShares, launched on July 10, 2001, and Technology is its largest sector at 100.0%. Because nearly all of the holdings sit in that single sector, the fund's moves tend to mirror the sector's moves.

Owning SOXX carries a yearly cost of 0.33%, which works out to $33.00 on every $10,000 placed in it. The fund's net assets come to $48.4B, its distribution yield stands at 0.22%, and portfolio turnover is 33%.

Key risks

SOXX has moved 2.77% on an average session, so day-to-day volatility is the first thing to account for. The fund leans heavily on one sector, since Technology makes up 100.0% of its holdings. While the price stays under its moving averages, the trend works against holders. The price is also 28.12% below the 52-week high of $655.95.

What the AI sees

SOXX is in a downtrend: the price of $471.51 sits 1.02% below its 200-day average of $476.37 and 10.89% below its 50-day average of $529.12. The 50-day average is still 11.07% above the 200-day, but the price has already dropped beneath the shorter average. On its 52-week range of $260.44 to $655.95, the price is at 53%, and it is 28.12% below the high.

A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 17.08% over the past month, fell 6.61% over the past three months and rose 54.39% over the past year. The 14-day RSI of 36.1 is in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, and the MACD line is negative. Volume in the last session ran 81.6% above its average, on a day the price fell 8.24%.

ProTips
  1. Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 200-day SMA at $476.37 sits above the price, and the 52-week low at $260.44 sits below it.
  2. A 14-day RSI of 36.1 falls in the bearish zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 signal stretched momentum.
  3. Costs compound: at 0.33% a year, SOXX charges $33.00 on every $10,000 invested.
Market outlook

SOXX trades under its 50-day ($529.12) and 200-day ($476.37) averages, which is what makes the trend down; regaining the 200-day would be the first sign of repair. The nearest level above the price is the 200-day SMA at $476.37.

SOXX has the 52-week low at $260.44 as the next level below the price. The RSI sits in the bearish zone, and momentum still points lower.
