Amazon Share Daily Technical Analysis
Amazon trading at 3,029, keeping the bullish momentum that started since the March coronavirus sell-off lows. The technical picture looks bright, and higher levels are on the cards. The daily chart doesn’t provide any warning signal, but a break below the ascending trend channel would harm the bullish momentum.
The earnings report might be the catalyst for a break higher. The first target for bulls is at 3,096 the high from July 27. More offers await at 3,237 the top from July 21, which guards the all-time highs at 3,334.
On the other, bears looking for a break below the rising trend channel but first must break below 3,000 the low from yesterday’s trading session. A move below 2,898 might accelerate the correction towards 2,759 the 50-day moving average.
