Super Micro Computer (SMCI) shares soared Wednesday after the server maker submitted its delayed financial reports just ahead of a deadline to avoid being delisted by the Nasdaq.
The company said in a statement that the Nasdaq confirmed its compliance with the exchange's filing requirements, and that "the matter is now closed," helping ease investors concerns in recent days that it might not meet the Feb. 25 cutoff date.
Supermicro shares have lost more than 40% of their value over the past 12 months amid accounting and corporate governance allegations that contributed to the company’s delayed regulatory filings. However, the stock has surged 68% since the start of the year, boosted in part by a business update earlier this month that provided an upbeat revenue outlook, driven by growing demand for its products to support AI infrastructure.
Below, we break down the technicals on Supermicro’s chart and point out key price levels that investors may be eyeing.
50% Fibonacci Retracement Level Provides Support
Supermicro shares trended sharply higher on increasing volume for several weeks after breaking out from a falling wedge pattern before running into selling pressure just above the closely watched 200-day moving average.
While the stock had logged four consecutive down days leading into yesterday’s filing deadline, it found support on Tuesday around the key 50% Fibonacci retracement level when applying the tool from this month’s low to high, setting the stage for today’s surge higher.
Let’s identify three key overhead areas on Supermicro’s chart where the shares may encounter resistance and also identify major support levels worth watching during potential retracements.
Key Overhead Areas to Monitor
Supermicro shares rose 12% to close Wednesday's session at around $51. The stock was down 5% in recent after-hours trading.
The first overhead area to monitor sits around $63. The shares may face selling pressure in this region near the August countertrend peak, which closely aligns with this month’s high.
