Gains since the 2009 lows; SOXX Index = +821% S&P 500 = +273%.
The SOXX index has spent the majority of the past 10-years inside of rising channel (1), which first started at the 2009 lows.
As the SOXX index is testing the top of this 10-year rising channel, it is also testing its Fibonacci 423% extension level of its 2001 highs and 2009 lows at (2).
