Applied Materials: Another Lower High?Applied Materials has recently bounced along with other technology stocks. But some trend followers may look for it to roll over.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the line running along the highs of January and August. The chip-equipment stock is approaching that potential resistance area. Will it roll over again?
The most recent price action may have already answered that question. After all, Wednesday’s peak was $0.06 below its monthly high from October 6. The S&P 500, in contrast, made new highs last week versus earlier in the month. That may reflect a lack of relative strength.
Third, AMAT has been stalling at its 50-day simple moving average (SMA). Is the intermediate-term downtrend still in effect?
Finally, stochastics are back to an overbought condition.
