Memory & Storage Candidates — June 16, 2026
Overview
The May blowoff did not reverse — it continued. MU pushed through ATH to $1020.76 (RSI 60.3, strong-up, +49.77% 30D, +10.0% vs SMA20) — RSI actually cooled from the May 78 peak while price climbed, a healthier setup. STX is now at $1031.34 (RSI 71.6, +39.21% 30D, +17.6% vs SMA20) — near ATH at -5.99%. WDC is the most extended: $681.08, RSI 73.3, +48.53% 30D, +26.7% vs SMA20. HY9H.F (SK Hynix proxy) now tracked: $1365, RSI 60.9, +33.17% 30D. Two new names added — Samsung (005930.KS: RSI 61.6, +22.06% 30D, +9.6% vs SMA20, strong-up) and EWY Korea ETF (RSI 57.6, +16.93% 30D) — confirming the HBM supercycle is now a Korea macro trade. DRAM ETF cooled from RSI 76.2 to 62.2 ($68.12, +38.12% 30D) — healthier. SIMO (Silicon Motion) new addition: $282.68, RSI 58.6, +17.9% 30D, +124.49% 3M. The thesis is no longer just US-listed memory — it has become a full-stack Korea semiconductor bet.

| ⚠️ AVOID | WDC | Most extended at +26.7% vs SMA20, RSI 73. +24.95% 7D is a near-term exhaustion signal. Hold only if long |
What Changed vs 05/29
The May blowoff continued with more strength — prices climbed across the board despite RSI cooling from extreme levels. MU pushed $971→$1020 while RSI fell 78→60.3, the most positive divergence in the sector. STX surged from $879 to $1031 (RSI cooled 74.5→71.6). WDC from $531 to $681 (RSI cooled 71.8→73.3, actually slightly higher). DRAM ETF cooled meaningfully from RSI 76.2 to 62.2. HY9H.F (SK Hynix proxy) is now in summaries with full data. Two new names added: Samsung (005930.KS) and EWY Korea ETF — confirming the HBM supercycle has broadened to a full Korea macro trade. SIMO (Silicon Motion) added as HBM controller play. The sector health improved vs May: more names with RSI 58-62 vs the 71-78 blowoff cluster.
Key Discoveries
| Discovery | Implication |
|---|---|
| MU RSI 78→60 while price $971→$1020 | Positive RSI divergence on a continuation — most bullish possible signal for an extended name; suggests institutional accumulation on the dip while price grinds |
| Samsung + EWY now tracked alongside US names | HBM supercycle has become a Korea macro trade — EWY captures the entire ecosystem with less single-stock concentration risk |
| WDC +26.7% vs SMA20 is the most extended in any theme | WDC now carries the highest mean-reversion risk in the memory basket — if sector rotates, WDC pulls back hardest |
Open Questions
- MU at $1020, RSI 60: is the positive RSI divergence (price up, RSI down) a sustainable continuation or late-cycle distribution?
- WDC at +26.7% vs SMA20: when Samsung announces HBM capacity expansion, does WDC absorb the supply-fear shock hardest given its extension?
- DRAM ETF RSI 76→62 while holdings rallied: the ETF composition (US-listed only) may be underweighting SK Hynix — is EWY the better passive play now?
