1. Trend and Price Channels Looking at the 1-hour chart, AMZN is in a strong upward channel. The stock recently tested a high of around $212.25, but has since pulled back slightly. The support line on this upward channel is holding well, keeping the bullish momentum intact. We should watch for a break above $212.25 for continuation, with the next potential target around $215 if the momentum sustains.
2. Moving Averages (EMA) The short-term EMAs, such as the 9 and 21 EMA, are showing a steady upward slope, reflecting strong bullish sentiment. As long as AMZN remains above these EMAs, the trend should stay positive. For scalpers, buying near the 9 EMA could offer good entry points in an uptrend, but a close below the 21 EMA might suggest caution as it may indicate a pullback.
3. Momentum and Volume The recent rally was supported by decent volume, but volume has tapered slightly. This reduction could signal a cooling period or consolidation. The MACD and RSI (not shown here) can provide further insights. For a short-term view, if MACD shows bearish divergence or if RSI enters overbought territory, it could mean a pullback is imminent. Swing traders should consider entering after a confirmed breakout above recent highs with strong volume to minimize risk.
4. Key Support and Resistance Levels
Immediate Support: Around $208.20 (current bid level) Secondary Support: Near $200.34 Resistance to Watch: $212.25 (current high); beyond that, look for $215
Trade Suggestions
Scalping: For scalpers, consider entering long positions on pullbacks to $208 - $209 with a target back toward $212. If price action shows weakness near $212, shorting briefly could be viable, but this is higher risk given the overall uptrend.
Swing Trading: If AMZN breaks above $212.25 with strong volume, consider a swing trade targeting $215 or higher. A break below $200 could signal a deeper pullback or consolidation, so manage risk accordingly.
