The chart for Intel is almost a mix between those of Texas Instruments and Xilinx. The stock was trending higher from its December low before falling sharply in April like Xilinx did. Unlike Xilinx, the stock appears to have re-established an upward trend over the last five months. The stock was approaching overbought territory, but a little selling the last few weeks has moved the indicators down.
