Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares jumped nearly 30% Monday after the struggling server maker announced that an independent review of its accounting practices found no wrongdoing.
Accusations of accounting-related anomalies earlier this year led to the delayed filing of several financial reports, prompting concerns of a potential Nasdaq delisting, with those fears compounded following the resignation of the company’s auditor in October.
After falling as much as 86% from their early-March peak, shares in the one-time artificial intelligence (AI) darling have more than doubled from last month’s low after the company filed a compliance plan with the Nasdaq and announced a new auditor, adding that it now expects to be able to file its delayed financial results.
Supermicro shares rose 29% to $42 in Monday’s regular session, before adding another 4% in extended trading.
Below, we break down the technicals on Supermicro’s weekly chart and point out key price levels worth watching out for.
After forming a bear trap last month, Supermicro shares have continued to move higher, reclaiming the lower trendline of a descending broadening formation that has been in play on the chart since the stock topped out in early March.
Importantly, above-average trading volumes have supported the move higher, indicating buying participation from larger market participants, such as institutional investors. While the relative strength index (RSI) remains below 50, it continues to rise, signaling improving price momentum.
Let’s identify several key overhead areas on Supermicro’s chart that investors may be watching and also look at two major support levels to monitor during retracements.
Amid further bullish momentum, investors should initially watch the $50 level. This area on the chart could provide resistance near the psychological round number, which also sits in closely proximity to the early-August trough and late-October peak.
A decisive close above this level could see the shares climb to around $64, a location on the chart where the price may encounter selling pressure near the August countertrend high. This region also currently aligns with the 50-week moving average (MA).
