Bottom line
AMAT Technical Analysis Summary
AMAT (Applied Materials) shows a mixed short-term trend within a powerful long-term uptrend. The daily chart has pulled back from the 739.67 all-time high, with price at 575.39 below the SMA20 (609.85) but above the SMA50 (511.86) and SMA200 (350.54). The daily RSI at 50.21 is neutral, while the MACD histogram at -12.82 remains negative, indicating ongoing short-term selling pressure. On the weekly timeframe, the trend is strongly bullish with price above all SMAs and RSI at 79.21 approaching overbought territory. Key support is at 527.63 (20-day low) and 376.60 (60-day low), while resistance sits at 609.85 (SMA20) and 739.67 (20-day and 52-week high). A breakout above SMA20 resistance would signal the correction is over; a break below 527.63 would suggest further downside.

Daily (July 13, 2026)
- Trend
- Mixed. Price at 575.39 is below SMA20 (609.85) but above SMA50 (511.86) and SMA200 (350.54). The stock corrected from the 739.67 all-time high to a 20-day low of 527.63, and is now consolidating. The SMA200 continues to slope upward, confirming the long-term uptrend remains intact.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 50.21 is exactly at the midline, indicating no clear directional bias. MACD line (21.47) is above the signal line (34.29) but the histogram at -12.82 is negative, suggesting that while momentum is still above zero, it has been declining over the recent period.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 45.50 (7.91% of price) reflects above-average daily swings consistent with the correction from all-time highs. Bollinger Bands (522.24 to 697.47) are wide, indicating elevated volatility with price in the lower half of the range after the pullback.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest daily volume of 7,549,000 is 59.1% of the 20-period average (12,765,655), suggesting reduced participation during the current consolidation phase.
Assessment
The daily chart is in a corrective phase after a massive rally. Price has pulled back from 739.67 to 575.39, finding support above 527.63. The neutral RSI and negative MACD histogram suggest the correction may need more time. A reclaim of SMA20 (609.85) would be the first sign of stabilization. The below-average volume suggests sellers are not aggressively pressing, which is a modestly positive sign.
Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bullish. Price at 602.50 is well above SMA20 (445.11), SMA50 (322.76), and SMA200 (196.68). All major SMAs are sloping upward with a bullish alignment, confirming a strong long-term uptrend. The SMA20 at 445.11 is significantly above the SMA200 at 196.68, reflecting the powerful upward move.
- Momentum
- Bullish with overbought caution. RSI14 at 79.21 is approaching overbought territory (typically above 70). MACD at 80.79 with the signal at 64.20 and a positive histogram at 16.59 confirms strong bullish momentum is still intact at the weekly level.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 59.55 (9.88% of price) reflects the wide weekly ranges characteristic of AMATs high-volatility profile. Bollinger Bands (247.14 to 643.08) on the weekly are extremely wide, reflecting strong trends.
- Volume
- Above average. Weekly volume of 49,408,200 is 123.7% of the 20-week average (39,958,895), indicating strong participation in the ongoing trend.
Assessment
The weekly chart remains powerfully bullish. Price has risen from the 154.46 52-week low to the 739.67 high before the recent pullback, representing a 378% move. The RSI near 80 suggests the move has been extended and a period of consolidation or correction is normal. The current 602.50 level still represents a strong position above all key SMAs. The long-term uptrend fueled by semiconductor capital equipment demand and AI infrastructure spending remains intact.
