Recall that in August 2025, the Trump administration announced an $8.9 billion deal for a 9.9% stake in Intel. The agreement covered up to 433.3 million shares at an announced average price of $20.47, as part of a push to strengthen domestic chip manufacturing and national security.<\/p>\n

When Intel reached $142.35 in early July, those 433.3 million shares would have been worth about $61.7 billion. That was a paper gain of roughly $52.8 billion, or 595%, in less than a year.\u00a0 However, share momentum faded, chips got hammered and Intell was one of the stocks which led the decline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the current level of $57.70, the same share count implies a value of about $25 billion and a paper gain of roughly $16.1 billion, or 182%. That\u2019s still a sizable gain, but it is. also about $36.7 billion below the peak valuation. Easy come, easy go.<\/p>\n

Old resistance gets a test as support<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

So given the sharp declines from the peak, what are the technicals telling traders at $57.70? More specifically, “Is it time to buy?”<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s selloff took shares of Intel down to $51.50. That was also near the December 2023 swing high at the same level. The stock didn\u2019t get above that old high until January 21, 2026, when it reached $54.47. It then corrected toward $41 before breaking above $54.47 on April 8 2026 and running to $142.35 about three months later.<\/p>\n

The swing low from 2023 and the swing high from 2026, makes $51.50\u2013$54.47 the swing area to watch (see the yellow are on the chart above). Sellers pushed below the upper edge last week but ran out of momentum near the lower edge ($51.50). The subsequent bounce back above $54.47 gives buyers a foothold. If the price slips back into the area, $51.50 becomes the key barometer for risk again. Move below it is more bearish, and buyers should get out. \u00a0Stay above it and the buyers are in play and hoping upside momentum begins again.<\/p>\n

What are the upside targets?<\/p>\n

So the question traders can ask is\u00a0what are the upside targets if they buy at the discounted levels? <\/p>\n
