Applied Materials Is Fighting HigherTechnology stocks have struggled this week as interest rates rise. However, the selling has mostly targeted classic “growth stocks” like high-multiple software makers. Some of the more cyclical hardware/equipment names have fared better -- including Applied Materials.
AMAT more than doubled between November 2020 and April 2021. It spent the next half a year consolidating those gains. Prices tested and held their 200-day simple moving average (SMA) in October, followed by a new breakout in early November.
Notice how the stock then came down to test the old highs around $145. Buyers quickly stepped in, turning old resistance into new support.
Next, AMAT has made higher lows along its rising 50-day SMA and is now back above its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA).

$AMAT - Caught at the Supply Zone$AMAT has been trading within this channel for nearly the past year before breaking out to the upside.

Retest after breakout | AMAT
Today we will take a look at AMAT. What are the main technical elements can we see here?
- First, we have the 200 days main structure that the price broke on November
- After the breakout, we observed a retest (typical behavior after a structure of this size are broken)
- Now, we are ready to define a level where I will consider that this chart configuration has upside potential towards the 2nd fibo extension or the higher trendline of the channel.
- IF the price makes a new ATH, I will consider that confirmation for the bullish view. Invalidation level will be below the retest
- IF everything goes as expected, I think we may see a movement with a duration of 100 to 150 days towards the target.
What are the odds of this view being right? I would say between 45% to 50%.
Are you trading this setup? No, I'm not trading this setup; currently, I'm exposed to the max amount of open positions my system allows me. However, I think this is a solid scenario from a technical perspective; the expected risk to reward ratio is about 2. As I mentioned before, the odds of this movement happening based on this type of formation are between 45% to 50%. (All you need to create an edge on the market)
What happens if the price never reaches the activation level and keeps falling? You simply cancel your view.
What happens if the prices reach the entry-level and then go straight to my stop loss? You simply absorb a stop. That's why it is essential to manage risk and define a % on each setup you will take; my risk management goes between 1% to 3%.

AMAT, A rising stock! many chances for traders and investors!AMAT made a new ATH yesterday which confirmed completion of a correction and going up to new highs.
AMAT is clearly in up going wave cycles. It offers many chances for both short term traders and long term investors /share holders. How far it goes higher? lets follow the analysis !
As shown on the chart AMAT currently is completing wave v (in circle) of a larger degree wave 3 which probably can push the price up to around 180 USD. Then correction of shown wave 4 will start which can push price back to 130-150 zone. Another actionary wave up to above 200 USD will complete an Elliott wave cycle which means considerable correction start after this cycle completion.
It is worth to note this mentioned complete cycle can be just wave 3 of 3 a two larger degree cycle which means we may see unbelievable targets for AMAT or we may have just an extended wave 5 ! Should it need any update we can do it later.
Wish you huge profits my friend .
