AP2 trade ideas
Daily short setup in Applied Materials, Inc. AMAT has hit a major LVN, as well as a major pitchfork upper outer band. With the Weekly TAM uptrend price projection being exceeded and expiring in 2 weeks, a sell-stop under the recent pivot low (20.65) with a target of 17.81 could produce a nice short play.
AMAT Long - Betting on the ReversalAlthough the support level is shown on the weekly chart, also notice the MACD divergence on the daily chart.
Using a soft stop loss of $0.50 and a hard one of $1, I'm looking to make $2.50 per share for a 5:1 reward-to-risk ratio. Not being greedy, the profit target is even lower than $20, although climbing above that isn't unlikely, should the reversal occurs.
Applied Materials - New highs probablyThe weekly chart is in a clear uptrend. After a bearish divergence, price returned to value, and just got oversold. The high volume week warns of a selling climax (after a very short fall).
On the daily chart, there is a double bottom with a false breakout. The doji labeled on the chart has very high volume, a rare occurrence that really adds weight to the doji. The volume indicators point to oversold, as the wave volume is climactic and the Force Index is climbing back into its channel.
Note that both impulses are red, which makes this trade dangerous, however the risk reward is very attractive. One could enter directly on the open (me) or could wait some more time for a blue daily impulse. If the stock gaps down on Monday, I am going to wait for a blue impulse as well.
Applied Materials: Another Bearish Topping Formation-The Share have completed a weekly double top pattern by closing below 19.85.
