AAOI shares lost 16.2% in the last 24 hours, closing at $169.89. The RSI at 42.96 has dipped below the neutral zone but has not yet reached oversold territory. The MACD line is below the signal line and in negative territory, indicating weak short-term momentum. The price is trading below both the 20-day ($181.47) and 50-day ($187.90) moving averages. Although the news headline is positive for the sector, the deterioration in technical indicators and the sharp decline suggest that downward pressure may persist in the short term.

COHR shares have lost 15% in the last 24 hours, falling to 358.36. While the RSI at 39.6 approaches oversold territory, the MACD line remains below the signal line and in negative territory. The price is trading below the 20-day and 50-day moving averages (379.5 and 395), indicating short-term weakness. Although news headlines have created a positive sentiment across the sector, COHR's technical indicators maintain a bearish trend. Therefore, the likelihood of a continued decline in the short term is high.

Although the headline suggests a favorable sector tailwind, LITE shares have lost 10.8% in the last 24 hours, with technical indicators showing a weak outlook. The RSI stands at 44.7 in neutral territory, while the MACD is negative and below its signal line. The price is trading below both the 20-day (859.77) and 50-day (912.22) moving averages. Therefore, the positive AI-related news is unlikely to fully reverse the sharp decline in the short term; more concrete catalysts may be needed for the market to react.
