Applied Materials Stock Forecast

Sell candidate since Jul 16, 2026 Loss -7.35%

The Applied Materials Inc. stock price fell by -1.67% on the last day (Monday, 10th Aug 2026) from $538.50 to $529.50. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 6.26% from a day low at $527.00 to a day high of $559.99. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still up by 6.43% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 4 thousand shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 7 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $3.60 million.

The stock lies in the lower part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $466.06 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 17.40% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $547.15 and $923.09 at the end of this 3-month period.

0R1A.L Signals & Forecast

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Applied Materials Inc. stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $568.19. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $528.93. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, and so far it has fallen -27.81%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Trading Expectations (0R1A.L) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect Applied Materials Inc. to open at $538.83, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $508.22 and $550.78, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$42.56 (+/-8.37%) up or down from last closing price. If Applied Materials Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 8.37% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $532.50 (0.57%) than the support at $503.50 (4.91%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
