AP2 trade ideas
AMAT one to consider longHas bettered its high from 2000 (57.50) recently and now just below it. I favor it likely soon be back above it and have gone long. Could use current short term uptrend line as a stop. If it happens we could see major % gain long term. Process your way.

AMAT Double Bottom breakout!AMAT is now facing resistance after completing the second triangle of the double bottom. It is currently trading on good volume which could represent a breakout towards $58 mark. As you can see each bottom took roughly 6 days to complete, which gives me reason to believe we can see at least a 4% increase over the next 7 days.
AMAT with an 6-8% upside. Semiconductors are HOT!An inverse head and shoulders pattern is developing which could reach neck line by tomorrow. At that point we can expect a breakout initially to 61, with a retrace back to the original neckline and then to a target of 64.5, at which point i would sell. There is significant resistance at the 59 mark. I would not expect a breach below that level. This is an 6-8% upside from current levels with potential to be reached by 3/30
My Poor Abandoned Baby :(AMAT looking for continuation ...if Trump shuts his mouth or breaks a couple of fingers playing golf.
The last PushJust in time, the levels show patterns that indicate that it still have more to give.
This was a pretty quick change of mind. I reach to cancel the previous publication where i was short in this pair. When I analyzed the chart on a smaller scale, I discovered something interesting. I was tracing the angle from the wrong point.
Long up to 73.
Best wishes to all
Next leg up - Semi moving higherBoth Mu and AMAT seem to be trying to move higher right now. MU has started its run slightly before AMAT.
AMAT trades at fair valuations. EV/EBITDA is at 12.85. PEG ratio is at 0.7. With great growth I feel as thou I am not paying too much at these prices.
We could have a retest of fake out here. I plan to take a position. I should of already taken a pier 1 position, but as usual I become trigger shy after a string of losing trades.
Nice ATH BreakoutConsidering getting in if we have a pullback, or looking for entry on smaller frame.
Applied Materials Another unpublished ideaI had posted this to my personal page.
I had seen this double pattern happen a few times going back.
I ended up missing the bottom by a bit but feel I still got in at a good spot.
(*Note this was my first ever stock purchase)
Since the run up has happened quicker than expected I am not sure what to think.
It would seem another small correction is coming like in the circle.
After that another strong uptrend.
I will try to update with a new trend after some more data.
I see great potential with AMAT and feel its a good long term investment.
AMAT is breaking out from ABCD triangle.. AMAT seems like rebounding.
+Breakout from Triangle pattern.
+Price break and move above EMA20 & EMA50
-But volume is not significant
+ Buy signal appears on Bollinger Band
+ Force index turned +ve - Bull gaining momentum
+ Oscillator suggest selling is overdone (oversold)
Suggest partial buy.

Noteworthy, in the chart is the eruption from the yellow rectangle with the candle today, March 6th.

Amat Cup n HandleAmat has been on a tear since earning. I think we will see a small sell off as we approach the 9 sell on the daily, we should test the 100 EMA and then start the accent all while forming a nice clean handle that should lead to a breakout!
Buy point 58.83
First target 60.89
Second target 61.92
Third target 62.91
Ultimate target 72 (may takes 6 ~ 8 weeks)
