One editor for writers, developers, and agents
Your docs have more contributors than ever. Engineers, PMs, support, marketing, and now AI agents. But most documentation tools force a choice: an accessible editor for the whole team, or the rigor of git-based version control for developers. That tradeoff slows everyone down.
Mintlify's editor removes the tradeoff. Writers get a visual WYSIWYG experience with slash commands and editable navigation. Developers keep their git-native workflow. Every visual edit is a clean commit, every commit appears in the editor. Changes flow both ways.
The editor also brings live collaboration and AI agents as first-class contributors:
WYSIWYG editing with no markdown syntax required
Real-time multiplayer for war room-style doc sessions
MCP support so your AI can edit alongside your team
Two-way git sync that preserves a single source of truth
The best documentation is written by everyone who has context. That's your whole team. And now, your agents. Try it at mintlify.com.
Intel (INTC): The Sleeping Giant Has Awakened
For nearly a quarter-century, the name Intel was a cautionary tale for investors. Since the peak of the Dot-Com bubble in late 2000, Intel (INTC) became synonymous with stagnation, technical obsolescence, and "dead money." While its peers in the semiconductor space—NVIDIA, AMD, and Broadcom—soared to astronomical valuations, Intel remained trapped. For decades, it seemed destined to oscillate forever in the $25–$30 range, a victim of its own manufacturing delays and lost leadership in the mobile and AI revolutions.
But the narrative has shifted overnight. Following a recent earnings report that can only be described as a "massive upward explosion," the fundamental and technical shackles have been broken. In a move that shocked the market, Intel finally took out its year 2000 all-time high of $76, triggering a full-blown buying panic. This wasn't just a rally; it was a regime change.
The Elliott Wave Structure: Breaking the 25-Year Curse
To appreciate the magnitude of the current move, we must look at the impulse wave that began at the absolute floor. From a technical perspective, the "new" Intel cycle started at the $17.67 low.
Wave 1 (The Initial Surge): The first leg of this recovery saw the stock climb from $17.67 to $55. This was the market's first realization that the turnaround plan under the current leadership was more than just corporate PR.
Wave 2 (The Retracement): As is typical for second waves, the stock saw a sharp, discouraging pullback from $55 down to $40.63. This shakeout successfully cleared out the "weak hands" before the current parabolic move.
Wave 3 (The Current Explosion): We are currently in a powerful 3rd wave. These waves are the heart of the trend—they are fast, relentless, and often exceed all initial mathematical projections.
Calculating the Targets: $101 vs. $141
Intel is currently trading near the $101 level. From a Fibonacci standpoint, this is a major "Standard" target. A regular Wave 3 often measures 1.618 x Wave 1, which brings us precisely to this $101 mark.
However, given the context of the 25-year breakout and the sheer volume of the "buying panic," we must consider the potential for an extended 3rd wave.
The Standard Target ($101): Reaching this level satisfies the basic requirements for a Wave 3. In a normal market, this is where you would expect a cooling-off period.
The Extended Target ($141): If this move follows the path of other AI-driven semiconductor breakouts, a 2.618 x Wave 1 extension becomes the high-probability magnet. This projection places Intel at $141.

The SOX Factor: Why $141 is the Likely Destination
A common question among technical analysts right now is: If Intel hits $100.45 next week, is it time for a Wave 4 correction?
Under normal circumstances, a pullback from $100 back toward the $62–$70 range (a typical .382 retracement) would be the textbook expectation. However, we are not in a normal market. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX), which leads the sector, currently shows significant technical headroom. Most analysts agree that the SOX has another 35% to 40% of upside before reaching its own major Fibonacci exhaustion points.
If the broader semiconductor sector continues to rip higher by another 40%, it is highly unlikely that Intel—the newly crowned momentum king of the group—would decouple and drop 30% in a Wave 4 correction. Instead, the market is signaling that the $141 target is the more likely path. In a secular bull market for chips, corrections are often shallow and sideways rather than deep price retracements.
Technical Pivot Points to Watch
For investors riding this wave, there are several "lines in the sand" to monitor:
Immediate Resistance: $101. This is the 1.618 extension. If Intel slices through this next week without a pause, it confirms the 2.618 ($141) trajectory is in play.
Support (The Old Ceiling): $76. This is the previous year 2000 high. In technical analysis, "old resistance becomes new support." Any minor pullback should find massive institutional buying interest at this level.
Momentum Trigger: The recent gap up on earnings. As long as Intel remains above the gap-fill level, the "buying panic" remains the dominant market sentiment.
Summary of Targets
Wave Measurement | Fibonacci Level | Price Target | Probability |
Standard Wave 3 | 1.618 | $101 | High (Current) |
Extended Wave 3 | 2.618 | $141 | Strong (Trend Following) |
Wave 4 Pullback | .382 Retracement | $62 - $70 | Low (Given SOX Upside) |
Strategic Conclusion: Don't Fight the Panic
Intel has transitioned from a value trap to a momentum monster. The fact that it took 25 years to break the $76 level means there is a massive amount of "stored energy" behind this breakout. When a stock breaks a quarter-century base, it rarely stops at the first Fibonacci extension.
While a minor pause near $100.45 is possible due to psychological round-number resistance, the broader sector strength (SOX) and the fundamental shift in Intel’s business suggest that the journey is just beginning. The $141 target is not just a mathematical possibility; it is the logical conclusion of a market that is finally repricing a legacy giant for the AI era.
For the first time in decades, being "long Intel" is no longer a punchline—it’s the lead trade in the semiconductor space.
