Intel (INTC) Technical: Overstretched rally, corrective decline looms below 72.54/75.76 within major uptrend

Price action is facing resistance near 72.54/75.76, with bearish momentum building after exiting overbought conditions. With Q1 earnings expected to drop sharply, a corrective pullback toward 54–40 is possible unless a decisive breakout above resistance sustains further upside.
