Expanded foundry strategy as Tesla deal drives renewed investor demand

Intel's announcement of a chip manufacturing agreement with Tesla using its upcoming 14A process signals a major expansion of its foundry business, according to Yahoo Finance. This partnership demonstrates Intel's ability to deliver cutting-edge technology for a high-profile client, which widens its revenue streams and strengthens its position in the advanced chip market. The news provides a strong demand signal for Intel's next-generation manufacturing capabilities and supports renewed buying interest in the stock.

Divergent momentum as price tests resistance amid persistent bearish signals

On the technical side, INTC is trading above the MA-20 at $93.77 but remains under the MA-50 at $99.18 on the H1 chart, while sitting well above the MA-200 at $84.54 on the daily timeframe. The Ichimoku Kijun acts as immediate resistance at $96.04. Momentum signals are mixed: RSI is deeply oversold at 25.02, and bearish momentum comes from persistent negative readings of the Stochastic RSI, CCI, Bull/Bear Power, MACD, and ADX. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral, highlighting a divergence between strong seller signals from momentum tools and the recent sharp price rise.

Downside bias prevails as sideways volatility dominates short-term outlook

In the next 2 to 3 trading days, the expected price range is $87.88 to $100.06, reflecting the typical volatility band relative to current levels. A sideways move within this corridor is the baseline scenario, with a 77% probability skew toward a down move, while only a 23% chance is assigned to an upward breakout. A sustained bullish reversal would require a clear push above the $96.04 Kijun resistance, while a sustained breakdown below $87.88 would confirm a bearish scenario.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Intel’s recent partnership with Tesla as an important step that will drive long-term growth. He notes that this move confirms strong end-market demand for Intel’s next-generation chipmaking and boosts sentiment despite mixed technical signals. Karapetjanc believes the stock may consolidate near current levels, but the improving commercial outlook justifies a constructive view. "If Intel can reclaim $96.04, renewed buying could accelerate as confidence in its foundry strategy gains traction."

Earlier, analysts noted that Intel was struggling with operational headwinds and ongoing downside risk, with technical signals favoring a neutral-to-bearish outlook. The latest developments—including a major chip deal with Tesla and a sharp price move—add a new dimension to the setup, and traders should watch for a decisive break above $96.04 or below $87.88 to gauge the next directional move.
