Intel scores a massive Apple chip deal — ride the momentum as the turnaround acc
Thesis
Landing a manufacturing deal with Apple is a game-changer for Intel's turnaround story, especially with political backing emphasizing domestic production. This news shifts the narrative around Intel from a struggling legacy chipmaker to a key domestic partner. The initial 9% surge shows massive investor enthusiasm, and this kind of political and corporate momentum often draws in institutional money that keeps pushing the stock higher over the following weeks.
Strategy approach
Build a momentum strategy that goes long INTC on the 1-hour timeframe when the price closes above the 20-day high with volume > 1.5x the 20-day average volume. Exit on a 5% trailing stop or a maximum 10-day hold period.
