TSM
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited
TSM is trading near the top of its 52-week range with strong multi-month price momentum and a close above key moving averages and VWAP. Momentum indicators such as RSI and MACD point to an ongoing bullish bias that is not yet extremely overbought, though the proximity to all-time highs introduces heightened pullback risk from elevated levels. Short interest remains low relative to shares outstanding, while recent news flow is predominantly positive and focused on AI and foundry leadership.
