Technicals
AMAT has been correcting lower over the past four weeks and is now seen near a confluence of support. The stock shows support at $51.73 from a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement measured from this year’s low to high. As well, the 200-day moving average is found slightly below the Fibonacci retracement.

If you agree there's further upside ahead for Applied Materials, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next six weeks, at least a little bit.
If you agree there's further upside ahead for Applied Materials, consider this trade which is a bet that the stock will continue to advance over the next five weeks, at least a little bit. AMAT will announce earnings in the week following the 11May18 series, and we usually see higher stock prices going into expiration week, so this might be a good trade for other reasons as well.
Buy To Open AMAT 11MAY18 49 Puts (AMAT180511P49)
Sell To Open AMAT 11MAY18 52 Puts (AMAT180511P52) for a credit of $1.08 (selling a vertical)
This price was $0.02 less than the mid-point of the option spread when AMAT was trading near $52.50. Unless the stock rallies quickly from here, you should be able to get close to this amount
Your commission on this trade will only be $2.50 per spread (the rate charged by thinkorswim for Terry’s Tips’ subscribers). Each contract would then yield $105.50 and your broker would charge a $300 maintenance fee, making your investment $194.50 ($300 – $105.50). If AMAT closes at any price above $52 on May 11, both options would expire worthless, and your return on the spread would be 54% (550% annualized).
