Sandisk plunged deeply in the earlier period, hitting a low of 972, and is currently in an oversold rebound phase, having recovered above 1600!
If it continues to break effectively to the upside, there is still room for further gains, with a chance of returning to the 2000 level.

In the short term, momentum has slowed somewhat after the consecutive rebound. The core strategy remains to sell into strength: go short in the 1650-1670 range, initially targeting 1520; if that level breaks, look toward 1480-1500, with the short swing target below 1300. Reassess the strategy only after it stabilize
