AMD vs Intel stocks: Who Reigns Supreme in 2025?

AMD and Intel — the tech giants that have been rivals for decades — are finally facing a plot twist! Both have rallied beautifully from long-term demand zones, and guess what? They might soon share the same wafer. But before you buy, wait! In today’s video, I’ll break down the daily and weekly supply and demand zones that matter most for 2025 — and trust me, the patience game will pay off big time.

Welcome back, traders and investors from the Set and Forget Trading Academy! Today, I will delve into one of the oldest rivalries in tech — AMD vs. Intel. But we won’t waste time with boring fundamentals or analyst opinions; we’ll do what we always do: read pure price action and focus on the supply and demand imbalances that actually move markets.

Both stocks — AMD and Intel — have been in strong bullish rallies, but the best opportunities often come after the rally, not during it. And that’s where patience, emotions, and timing come into play.

AMD ($AMD) — New weekly demand imbalance at $174

Let’s start with AMD. The weekly timeframe shows a strong rally from a long-term demand imbalance, confirming that buyers have stepped in aggressively. Price has now created a new daily and weekly demand zone around $174.

That’s the kind of zone that acts as the next potential “wholesale price” for smart money — where professionals will look to reload long positions.

The impulse leading to this imbalance was clean and explosive, eliminating previous supply levels — a classic signature of institutional buying power. Now, as I always say, the market rewards the patient. Don’t chase green candles. Wait for the price to return to those levels to buy, driven by demand, not by excitement.

Intel ($INTC) — New demand imbalance $26

Switching to Intel — yes, the old guard is showing signs of life again. The long-term demand imbalance around $26 has been created. Intel’s daily chart has printed new rally-base-rally structures, suggesting the big buyers are still active — but after such a strong impulse, you know the drill: don’t buy high, buy the pullback.

What’s fascinating is how Intel, after years of lagging behind AMD, has started to wake up technically. That said, from a market capitalization perspective, AMD is now roughly double Intel’s value, showing how the market has re-priced its long-term expectations.

Intel lost the mobile and data centre momentum years ago — they didn’t anticipate it — while AMD surfed the wave with its chiplet architecture and partnership flexibility. But the charts tell us something else: Intel’s discount zone might still offer one of the best asymmetrical trades of 2025.

The Rivalry Evolves — Are They Finally Teaming Up?

For the first time in decades, Intel and AMD might soon share a wafer. No agreement has been signed yet, but both companies are evaluating the technical feasibility of using each other’s foundries. This would be revolutionary — imagine Coca-Cola and Pepsi using the same bottling plant!

From a price action perspective, that’s the kind of news that’s already priced in. We don’t trade news. We trade what institutions already priced through these weekly and daily imbalances. Currently, both AMD and Intel are in long-term bullish trends, with demand imbalances clearly in control.

Supply and Demand Perspective

Here’s the key lesson for today about supply and demand, as well as Intel and AMD stocks. The charts don’t care about headlines. They care about orders.

• AMD’s buyers created a strong imbalance at $174 — that’s your next reload zone.
• Intel’s buyers defended $26 — that’s your swing trade zone.

No indicators, no volume profiles, no RSI — just pure price imbalances visible on the chart. If you understand this, you understand where institutions are placing their bets.
And remember, corrections are gifts, not risks.

Emotions, Patience and Greed

Every trader wants to be in when the market rallies. But the secret is not chasing, it’s waiting. Like my free ebook and supply and demand trading course says, trading is not a sprint; it’s a marathon with hurdles every 100 meters.

So while everyone else is buying at retail prices, we wait quietly for wholesale — for those daily and weekly pullbacks to demand that separate professionals from emotional traders.

Be patient. Let price come back to you. The next pullback to those levels could set the stage for the next leg up in the chip war.

Remember, you don’t need to predict — you just need to prepare.
Set your alerts, set and forget, and let the charts do the talking.
