Why Did INTC Shares Fall?
As shown on the Intel (INTC) chart, after Tuesday’s candle closed above $21, the price dropped sharply on Wednesday. INTC was the worst-performing stock of the day among the components of the S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen).
Why Did INTC Shares Fall?
The decline is linked to growing competitive pressure. According to media reports:
→ On one hand, AMD continues to rapidly expand its share of the server CPU market. A report by Mercury shows that the company already controls 40% of the segment and could match Intel as early as next year. → On the other hand, Nvidia is preparing to launch two accelerated processing units (APUs) for the consumer market, which will combine CPU and GPU capabilities in a single product.
Technical Analysis of the INTC Chart
In 2025, the price remains: → within a broad downward trend (marked in red); → supported by the $18.50–$20 zone.
Meanwhile, price fluctuations in May and June are forming a narrowing triangle (marked in black). Following the recent negative news, it is possible that INTC shares could fall towards the lower boundary of the triangle — or even retest the psychologically important $20 level.
