To review a current H&S pattern on Applied’s stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of AMCC (Applied Micro Cirsuits Corporation) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of AMCC (Applied Micro Cirsuits Corporation)
AMCC had rallied from a low of $6.50 last April to a peak of $15 back in October. Over the last 7 months the stock had created a very important “neckline” of support at $10.50 (blue). Above the neckline you will notice the H&S pattern itself (green). Confirmation of the H&S occurred towards the end of January when AMCC broke its $10.50 “neckline”. So, the stock should be moving lower overall from here.

The Tale of the Tape: AMCC confirmed a head & shoulders pattern. A short trade could be entered on any rallies up to or near the $10.50 area. A significant break back above $10.50 could negate the forecast for a move lower.
