Amazon.com Starts the New Year With an Uphill Struggle
Believe it or not, Amazon.com is little changed since July 2020. Now it faces an uphill struggle as a new year begins.
The first pattern jumping off the chart is the downward-sloping trendline that began shortly before Thanksgiving. AMZN steadily trending lower as the broader market hit new highs suggests investors have shifted away from the e-commerce giant in favor of new sectors.
Second, the decline followed a bearish reversal above $3,700. That’s near the earlier peak from the summer, resulting in a potential double-top reversal pattern.
Third, notice how prices previously bounced at the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). But in December buyers were less eager to defend that line.
Finally, AMZN declined after its last two quarterly reports. (Both featured top-line misses and weak guidance.) The fundamental story could also be less stellar in a post-Covid world, especially with AWS growth slowing and costs rising.
