Amazon (AMZN) Stock Price Surpassed $230 for the First Time
On 12th November, while analysing Amazon (AMZN) stock chart, we:
→ drew two ascending channels (a long-term one marked in blue and a steeper one represented by black lines); → anticipated a test of the $200 level as part of a correction.
According to the AMZN chart, since then: → the price corrected with a test of the $200 level (indicated by an arrow), aided by the median line of the blue channel; → it continued to climb within the mentioned channels, reaching a new all-time high — this week, the price hit $233.
Positive market sentiment is driven, among other factors, by: → Amazon's strong earnings report for the previous quarter; → expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut, which helped the Nasdaq 100 index reach a new record, as we reported yesterday.
Can the price continue rising?
Technical analysis of Amazon’s stock chart today suggests this might be challenging because: → the price is near the resistance lines of both channels; → the RSI indicator is in the overbought zone, and you can spot a bearish divergence forming (a sign of weakening buyer momentum).
Given these arguments, the price could undergo a correction. If so, it might drop to the lower boundary of the short-term black channel.
According to TipRanks: → 45 out of 46 surveyed Wall Street analysts recommend buying AMZN stock; → on average, they predict AMZN’s price will reach $244 within 12 months.
