Technical Analysis – Amazon stock rallies to 21-month high
Amazon stock continues bullish structure
Technical oscillators enter overbought regions
Amazon shares recorded a stunning rally in Monday’s session, creating a new 21-month peak of 161.16. The stock has posted gains of more than 12% since the beginning of the year and the technical oscillators suggest that the market could rise even higher.
The RSI is currently increasing positive momentum towards its overbought area, while the MACD is gaining momentum above its trigger and zero lines. Also, the stochastic oscillator (or stochastics) posted a bullish crossover within its %K and %D lines above the 80 level.
Should the price extend its gains, the next resistance level could be found at the March’s 27 high of 170.00 but first the market should climb above the immediate psychological levels such as 162.00, 165.00.
On the flip side, if the stock pulls back, immediate support could be met at the 157.00 level. Steeper decreases could drive the price until the 20- and the 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs) to 153.00 and 149.70 respectively.
In the bigger picture, Amazon stock is bullish as long as it holds above the 200-day SMA and the long-term ascending trend line. In case it violates these lines, the bears could take the upper hand.Related Assets
