Next-generation autotech semiconductor and software solutions provider
Indie Semiconductor NASDAQ: INDI stock has been selling off since its reverse merger IPO as a publicly listed company. The maker of system on a chip (SoC) platforms enables
automobiles to accommodate next-gen megatrends such as autonomous driving connectivity, user experience, and electrification applications. The Company is a play on
electric vehicles and autonomous driving. The
pandemic-induced global
chip shortage is also a tailwind in addition to the recovery of the
supply chain in the automotive industry as sales spikes with rising demand amidst dwindling supply. There is a perfect storm in place for shares to rebound. On the flip side, it is a reverse merged SPAC, which carries with it the risk of further dilution especially as shares trade under its $10 PIPE offering price. Prudent investors with an appetite for risk can monitor shares for opportunistic pullbacks to gain exposure on this multiple tailwinds autotech
chip play.

Indie’s best-in-class, mixed signal SoC solutions are currently on 12 Tier 1 approved vendor lists, contributing to a strategic backlog position of more than $2 billion, defined as projected revenues based on existing contracts, design and pricing terms and historic production trends.”
Already Best-in-Class SOC
According to their Summer 2021 presentation, Indie is in pursuit of the uncrashable car and is both standard and partner agnostic. The Company’s SOC platforms can be found in most of the top tier vehicle makers including General Motors NYSE: GM, Ford Motors NYSE: FORD, Porsche (OTCMKTS: POAHY), Ferrari NYSE: RACE, Fiat Chrysler NYSE: STLA, Hyundai, and Tesla NASDAQ: TSLA.

Four Megatrends
Indie address the four megatrends: Autonomous, User experience, Connectivity and Electrification. With autonomous, it reduces power by 10X and cost by 20X for LIDAR integration. With connectivity, it focuses on wireless charging, telematics, driver monitoring and cloud access. With user experience, it enhances Apple NASDAQ: AAPL CarPlay solutions, infotainment, and LED lightening. In referring to electrification, it has charging controllers and diagnostic solutions. Currently, the content per vehicle (CPV) opportunity is around $310 per vehicle, to rise to $975 per vehicle moving forward and up to $4,000 per vehicle in the future. This little known chip company is an under the radar long-term play for investors willing to take the risk of own a post-reverse merged SPAC.
INDI Opportunistic Pullback Levels

The weekly rifle chart has a downtrend with a falling 5-period moving average (MA) at $9.72 and 15-period MA at the $10.01 Fibonacci (fib) level. The stochastic has a mini pup attempt setting up for a make or break where the MAs can breakout if the 5-period MA crosses up through the 15-period MA. If the weekly stochastic crosses back down then the downtrend can continue towards the weekly lower Bollinger Bands (BBs) at the $8.66 fib, which may also start the BB expansion. The weekly market structure high (MSH) sell triggered on the breakdown under $12.45. The daily market structure low (MSL) buy triggers above $9.38. The daily rifle chart has been in a downtrend with a falling 5-period MA at $9.00 with 15-period MA at $9.33. The daily lower BBs are at $7.85. The daily stochastic is forming a potential mini inverse pup. Prudent investors can monitor for opportunistic pullback levels at the $8.66 fib, $8.12 fib, $7.74 fib, $7.24 fib, and the $6.48 fib.
