AMAT Rose 300%+ to a Record, Then Fell. What Its Chart Says NowIt's no secret that semiconductor-related stocks like Applied Materials NASDAQ:AMAT have had a pretty rough week or so, with AMAT falling some 20% after hitting an all-time high just on June 30. Let’s see what Applied Materials' chart and fundamental analysis say could happen next with the semiconductor-equipment maker’s stock. Applied Materials’ Fundamental Analysis Semiconductor stocks have mostly been on a tear in 2026, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index NASDAQ:SOX hitting an all-time high on June 22 after rising 106.9% year to date. But the sector pulled back in recent days and weeks, with the SOX giving back some 11% since June 22. The Dow Jones US Semiconductor Index DJ:DJUSSC has likewise shed roughly 7% since setting a record high on June 3. Semiconductor-equipment providers like Applied Materials have taken a hit as well. AMAT rose more than 300% over 12 months to peak on June 30, but has given back about 20% since then. On the other hand, Morgan Stanley analyst Shane Brett recently boosted the stock's price target to $647 from a previous $502 while reiterating Applied Materials' hold-equivalent rating. He also named AMAT as a "top pick" for the sector. (Separately, Brett raised his price targets for Lam Research NASDAQ:LRCX to $404 from $331 and KLA Corp. NASDAQ:KLAC to $274 from $190 while reiterating their current ratings.) Brett is rated at five stars out of a possible five by TipRanks and has an 81% success rate over that past two years, with an 80% average return. You’d think that AMAT might take off on an endorsement like that. But looking at its chart, I’m not so sure. Applied Materials’ Technical Analysis Here’s AMAT's chart going back some seven months and running through Monday afternoon (July 6): Readers will first see that AMAT had a very nice run that saw it more than double in price since 2026 began. However, the shares then tried but failed in June to break above the upper trendline of the stock's Raff Regression model (marked in orange and pink shading). Instead, the stock ended up testing its 21-day Exponential Moving Average (or "EMA," marked with a green line above at $590.50). Applied Materials also probably tested the swing crowd at that line as well. The stock recently fell below the 21-day EMA, but has not yet definitively dropped under that line. (Shares were trading Friday afternoon at $603.18, back above the 21-day EMA's $590.50.) Meanwhile, Applied Materials has recently begun to form what might fully develop into a bearish head-and-shoulders pattern, marked with red lines at the chart's right. However, that pattern's right shoulder has yet to fully form, hence the question mark I added to the chart's right. But should AMAT manage to regain and hold its 21-day EMA, the stock could experience an algorithmic surge that might complete that missing right shoulder. This would be a tradeable event -- although again, a head-and-shoulders pattern is one of bearish reversal. That would create the potential for a more important test of Applied Materials' 50-day Simple Moving Average (or "SMA," denoted with a blue line at $494.10 above). That's where professional managers would likely have to make decisions concerning whether to maintain exposure to the stock. Of course, that's still about a $100 haircut from where AMAT has been trading at. As for the other technical indicators in the chart above, those appear a bit shaky as well. For example, Applied Materials' Relative Strength Index (the gray line marked "RSI" at the chart's top) has come down from overextended levels and stands just above the neutral line. Similarly, the stock's daily Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (or "MACD," denoted by blue bars, a black line and a gold line at the chart's bottom) is sending less-than-bullish signals as well. First, the histogram of the 9-day EMA (the blue bars) has moved into negative territory, which is a short-term bearish sign. And while the 12-day EMA (the black line) and the 26-day EMA (the gold line) are both well into positive territory (a bullish signal), the 12-day line has crossed below the 26-day one. That's bearish. (Moomoo Technologies Inc. Markets Commentator Stephen "Sarge" Guilfoyle had no position in AMAT at the time of writing this column.)

Position #6: $NOW (ServiceNow) - 3-day chartPosition #6: NYSE:NOW (ServiceNow) - 3-day chart Fundamentally, the story continues to improve. ServiceNow is evolving beyond traditional IT Service Management and is increasingly positioning itself as a leader in enterprise AI. Recent AI partnerships across the public sector and defense-related initiatives, together with the continued expansion of its agentic AI ecosystem, strengthen the company's long-term growth thesis. From a technical perspective, the 3-day chart remains interesting. The main obstacle is still the resistance zone marked by the yellow box. A breakout above $111 should make the path higher much easier, while the most important support remains the Point of Control (PoC) around $102. There is something resembling an Inverse Head & Shoulders pattern, although it is far from textbook quality. The neckline is clearly sloping, making the formation less reliable. More importantly, the overall market structure remains bullish. OBV continues to show a Hidden Bullish Divergence, suggesting that despite the recent pullback, buyers are still in control and the broader uptrend could continue. A bearish Elliott Wave count suggests a potential wave (c) next, with an initial target around $147.35 and a more ambitious target near $183. Interestingly, both projected wave targets broadly align with the latest price targets published by various Wall Street analysts. This is not financial advice - just my blog. 💙👽

Big Tech Rotation TradeFor most of the last three months, the market narrative has been simple: buy the companies building AI infrastructure. But the chart below hints that the next trade may not be about *whether* AI spending continues — it may be about where that capital flows. While the hyperscalers ( NASDAQ:MSFT , NASDAQ:AMZN , NASDAQ:GOOG , NASDAQ:META , NYSE:ORCL ) have gained a respectable 6% since March, semiconductors have absolutely exploded, with the NASDAQ:SOX basket up nearly 60%. That move wasn't driven by one company alone. The biggest beneficiaries have been the names supplying the picks and shovels of the AI boom: • Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) — still the center of AI compute. • AMD ( NASDAQ:AMD ) — increasingly competitive in AI accelerators and data center CPUs. • Micron ( NASDAQ:MU ) — riding insatiable demand for HBM and memory. • Broadcom ( NASDAQ:AVGO ) — powering networking and custom silicon. • Intel ( NASDAQ:INTC ) — a more speculative bet on manufacturing and foundry capacity. The question now is whether semis have simply outrun the customers writing the checks. Hyperscalers are the ones deploying hundreds of billions into data centers, chips, networking, and power infrastructure. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Oracle ultimately monetize AI through cloud services, advertising, enterprise software, and compute rentals. If AI capex remains elevated, semiconductors can continue to outperform. But if investors begin asking when all of this spending translates into durable profits, we could see capital rotate back toward the hyperscalers that own the customer relationships and recurring revenue streams. The AI trade isn't disappearing. It may just be changing hands. What do you think: are semis taking a breather, or is the next leg higher still ahead? 📈

Accenture Is Trying to Build a Bottom After a Hard BreakdownNYSE:ACN Accenture PLC has spent years trading inside a long-term rising channel, but that structure has finally broken. On the monthly logarithmic chart, the channel stretches back to roughly 2009, making the recent breakdown a meaningful shift in character. The move lower has been sharp. Accenture fell significantly from its all-time high area near $384 and eventually traded down toward the $115 to $120 zone. That area now matters because price has tested it multiple times, creating the early shape of a potential triple bottom. That does not mean the bottom is guaranteed. It does mean Accenture has reached a level where buyers have repeatedly stepped in. The June monthly close above that support zone adds some confidence, but a stronger signal would come from continued monthly confirmation. If the support holds, there may be a long setup worth watching. The first upside level is around $190, where former support could now act as resistance. That is a natural place for price to test if buyers continue to regain control. Above that, the next major area sits near $240. This zone has acted as both support and resistance in the past, so it could become a larger decision point if Accenture breaks through the first resistance level. The final major upside area is back near the prior all-time-high region, where the stock previously formed a double top. A move that far would require a much stronger bullish recovery, but it remains part of the broader roadmap if the reversal gains momentum. On the weekly chart, the early rebound is already beginning to show. The stock has started to move higher for a couple of weeks, though confirmation is still developing. For now, the key question is whether the $115 to $120 triple-bottom zone can continue to hold. Accenture is also worth reviewing beyond the chart. The company remains profitable, but technology services businesses have been pressured by concerns around AI disruption. Anyone interested in the setup should pair the technical picture with a deeper look at the financials and long-term business risks. This is not financial advice. It is a watchlist idea built around support, resistance, and confirmation.

Week 25 of 52 - RKLB | Space Infrastructure or Space Hype?NASDAQ:RKLB as pulled back sharply after reaching new highs, and the market is once again asking the same question: Is this just another speculative space stock, or is something much bigger being built? Today, Rocket Lab is not Microsoft. NASDAQ:MSFT Microsoft generates hundreds of billions in revenue, produces massive free cash flow, and dominates industries that have become essential to the global economy. Rocket Lab is still unprofitable. But that's not the comparison investors should be making. The better question is: What did Microsoft look like before it became Microsoft? Rocket Lab already has over $2.2 billion in contracted backlog, government and defense customers, satellite manufacturing capabilities, launch services, and an ambitious roadmap with Neutron. The company is no longer just launching rockets—it is building an ecosystem around space infrastructure. From a technical perspective, RKLB is approaching a critical area. The former resistance zone near $95–100 is now being tested as support. If buyers step in, this pullback may simply become another higher low within the broader uptrend. If that level fails, a deeper correction becomes possible. That's the risk every growth investor must understand. Because this is where investing becomes difficult. The market isn't pricing Rocket Lab based on what it is today. The market is pricing what Rocket Lab could become. If Rocket Lab evolves into a dominant provider of launch services, satellites, defense systems, and orbital infrastructure, today's valuation may look cheap in hindsight. If not, Wall Street may have gotten ahead of itself. That's why opportunities like this create so much debate. Not because the future is obvious. But because it isn't. The biggest winners often look expensive before they become successful. The challenge is identifying which companies are building the future—and which ones are simply selling the dream. Not financial advice. Always do your own research.

$DHR setting up nicely, calls look attractiveI've started a position in NYSE:DHR , based on an inverted H&S observed on the daily/weekly timeframes. There's a gap to fill should price clear the $198 level on the daily chart. My chosen vehicle is DEC 2026 $210 CALLs, which should that gap fill deliver a roughly 70% return. I may chose to close only a portion of the position and hold longer for a second price target with a similar gap-fill objective. As for the broader setup, healthcare stocks AMEX:XLV have been outperforming NYSE:DHR looks like a laggard, so this could be a "catch-up trade" as well.

Atlassian - One of the best software names out thereSoftware sector was absurdly low and have a sharp bounce over last few weeks. Atlassian, the parent company for JIRA has one of the most attractive financials out there. For the first week or two of June, there should be some retracement. A Price to Free Cash flow of 20.6, a PS of just 4.6 with revenue growth at 30% and almost no debt on the books, the stock is fundamentally very attractive. On a weekly time frame, it has also formed a massive Bullish Swan pattern which means the trend will change to being long term bullish now. If you are looking at software stocks, Atlassian should be a part of your portfolio

Intel’s Triple Digit EstablishmentIntel broke out in April and May. It consolidated for the next two months, and now some traders may see potential for further upside. The first pattern on today’s chart is the $100 price line. INTC broke that level on May 5 and made a higher low above it two weeks later. The stock probed below $100 on June 5, but quickly recovered. That was followed by a low of $104.41 on Wednesday. Such a basing pattern above $100 may suggest the chipmaker has established itself in triple-digit territory. Second is the falling trendline in May, which INTC broke in June and held this week. Has old resistance become new support? Third, the bounce occurred near the bottom of the Keltner Channel and the rising 50-day simple moving average (SMA). That may be consistent with a pullback within the context of an intermediate-term uptrend. Fourth, the 50-day SMA has stayed above the 100-day SMA. That could be consistent with a longer-term uptrend. Next, stochastics have reached an oversold condition. Finally, INTC is an active underlier in the options market. (Its average daily volume of 703,000 contracts ranks seventh in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.
