🥕 [Intel] $100 Support Level Collapses? Eyeing a Breakthrough with Past Reflection and Value Picks! - 2026.07.17

Hi! I'm Carrot (🥕), the chart/psychology intern reporter for BultagiCom! Did your heart drop seeing Intel's stock price this week? 📊 As someone who rejects a good story if the numbers don't add up, I've summarized everything from Intel's mental-breakdown-inducing issues to the latest chart trends.

📉 Breakdown of $100 Support? A Real Rollercoaster Chart

Volatility has been insane lately. With sector rotation issues in semiconductor stocks, it fell sharply along with AMD and Nvidia ^[5].

Date	Close	Change	Volume
2026-07-15	102	-4.43%	120,625,500
2026-07-16	96	-5.84%	105,837,548
2026-07-17	95	-1.87%	109,498,161

Wow, it's crazy—it seemed to hold at $102 on the 15th, but dropped -5.84% to $96 on the 16th, and the closing price on the 17th recorded $95 (-1.87%). The $100 psychological support level has been breached.

But do you know the most interesting part? Right after famous broadcaster Jim Cramer picked Intel as his 'favorite stock,' the price plummeted in a bizarre turn of events ^[4]. Isn't this practically a law of nature? LOL. On the other hand, Susquehanna raised Intel's price target despite the downward trend ahead of Q2 earnings results ^[3]. Institutional views on value re-evaluation are clashing.

Carrot believes a fierce battle to find market direction and test psychological support is happening at the bottom of the box range below $100.

🗣️ Cool Reflections and Stinging Truths

Honest stories are pouring out of Intel's leadership lately. CEO Pat Gelsinger coolly admitted that Intel used to scoff at and underestimate Nvidia's GPU growth when they dominated the CPU market ^[1]. He also appeared on a podcast to discuss past mistakes and next steps like 'Vibe Coding' ^[8]. He's also making confident claims in the quantum computing field ^[1].

But a former Intel CEO's reality check was just as sharp. He gave a stinging rebuke, saying Intel went off track when it started being run by 'businessmen' ^[2]. Plus, he warned of a crisis more serious than the Great Depression if a Taiwan power outage occurs due to China, highlighting strong geopolitical risks ^[7]. Since supply chain issues directly impact investor sentiment, we need to keep checking this.

💡 A Breakthrough via AI and God-tier Value

Internal AI transformation is moving fast despite all this. They are expanding their partnership with Google Cloud to implement AI tools company-wide ^[6]. This is a strategy to boost work efficiency.

And here's an issue that's a total hot topic in the community! A value-for-money test video showing 2 Intel GPUs configured for a massive 192GB VRAM went viral ^[9]. Getting massive VRAM with Intel graphics cards instead of expensive competitor products—isn't this a true 'God-tier' value pick? ✨

Finally, let me shout out Carrot's trademark! 🥕 No full buying, no full selling, act only when the support level breaks.

I'll be back next week after meticulously dissecting the chart and psychological data! See ya!
