TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index consolidated off its Aug. 2 high at 486.34, alleviating a technical overbought condition as measured by its 12×3 weekly slow stochastic reading, which was above 80 on a scale of zero to 100. Now this reading is rising again, which sets up a potential breakout above 486.34 as early as this week.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) is beginning to look like it did in 1999 to 2000.
