AMAT possible BUY opportunity

Long

NASDAQ:AMAT   Applied Materials, Inc.
After successful GOOG and CRM buy, my eyes are on AMAT stock- Applied Materials INC. Company operating in Technology sector. Stock price is currently consolidating in a $110.16 to $125.65 price range, forming a valid price Box. Box in price stock has become well known from Nicholas Darvas epic book called "How I made $2.000.000 in the stock market".

Things to consider:
1. This price range is good and the main reason for it is that the price is currently sitting above 200SMA on Daily level, and on Weekly as well.
2. Price is currently trying to break above 50SMA level on Daily, sitting at $116.52. If price manages to break the 50SMA level, I am consider buying couple of shares just to be in the game.
3. The best buy situation for me personally would be the break above price level sitting at $125.6 level and that will be my safe buy zone.
4. Of course, nothing is certain in markets, especially now, so my Stop Loss level will be sitting at $115.8 which is if you look at the chart now just below the 50SMA line on the Daily levels.
5. $125.6 price level is at the moment acting as big resistance level for the price, this is why I will consider the break above that level as safe buy zone.
6. If my order gets triggered I will be looking at $145.36 level as potential add to position/close with profit area. Depending on what the market does, my action will be following the overall market.

Just for everyone's thoughts, this is not financial advice and I am not a financial advisor, please do your Due Diligence before investing your hard earned cash.
Comment:
Unfortunately, since this analysis was posted, I moved my SL level to $124 price. My SL was triggered and I was forced from this position. This doesn't mean I am not monitoring this stock anymore, it means I am waiting for another chance to get in.
