The chart of SIMO – Silicon Motion Technology is a stock offering ‘Blue Sky Potential’. That will obviously only be the case once the bullish cup with handle pattern completes. A completion of the pattern will coincide with a break out to new all time highs. We are not there yet. Also keep in mind the company will announce earnings on Jan 26th.
Still, the chart looks very constructive and the All Time High should act as a price magnet. Overall the semiconductor sector looks very healthy. Therefore odds for stocks like SIMO to be outperforming are very high. The reason is simple: they have almost no overhead resistance. One way to play SIMO would be to buy an initial position and to add more if the stock reacts positively to earnings.

Conclusion: The whole reason for this post is to highlight a chart set-up with ‘Bullish pattern pressure + Blue Sky Potential’. This is the best and most bullish combination you could ask for. Of course earnings are due next week and as usual there are no guarantees. Then again, trading is not about guarantees but about putting odds in your favour.
