Long-Term Trading Plan for #INTC for 2026

The trading plan for Intel shares in 2026 suggests opening long positions right after pullbacks, rather than buying on sharp price spikes.

The key support zone is between $40.00 and $42.00. The price has already found support here before, so this area looks perfect for entering the market on corrections. As long as the price stays above this level, the uptrend will likely persist.

The resistance level is located in the $48.00–$50.00 area. In this zone, growth may slow, with sideways movement and partial profit-taking following. If the price settles above this area, then the bullish target can be shifted to $60.00–$65.00 in the second half of the year.

In general, the strategy assumes a gradual upward movement with short-lived pullbacks, excluding any trades opened against the prevailing trend.
