Amazon and Salesforce Join Forces to Supercharge Prime Momentum Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ) and Salesforce ( NYSE:CRM ) have formed a strategic alliance to turbocharge the momentum of Amazon's Prime program. The integration of Amazon's "Buy with Prime" feature with Salesforce's NYSE:CRM Commerce Cloud platform promises to reshape the e-commerce landscape, offering a seamless shopping experience for Prime members while presenting an exciting growth opportunity for merchants, especially those on the Shopify platform.
The Power of Prime:
Amazon's Prime program has long been a key driver of the e-commerce giant's top-line growth. With customer-friendly perks such as ultrafast delivery services, a streamlined checkout experience, 24/7 live chat support, and hassle-free returns, Prime has amassed a loyal subscriber base. The recent collaboration with Salesforce aims to further enhance the Prime experience by allowing merchants on the CRM Commerce Cloud platform to integrate the "Buy with Prime" feature into their online stores.
Enhancing the Merchant Experience:
Salesforce merchants can now deliver the full suite of Prime benefits directly from their online storefronts. The integration preserves merchants' control over their store aesthetics, enabling customization of the placement and appearance of the "Buy with Prime" experience on product, cart, and checkout pages. Additionally, sellers can seamlessly sync day-to-day operations with Salesforce Order Management, ensuring a streamlined and efficient workflow.
Advanced Features for Sellers:
The upgraded "Buy with Prime" features empower sellers to activate search and filter capabilities, enabling customers to quickly locate Prime-eligible items. The introduction of a mixed cart facility allows customers to add both Prime-eligible and non-eligible items to their carts, streamlining the checkout process. This not only enhances the shopping experience for Prime members but also presents a lucrative opportunity for Shopify merchants to expand their reach to the ever-growing Prime subscriber base.
Financial Implications:
Amazon's subscription revenues, a key driver of the company's financial performance, are expected to receive a significant boost from the growing momentum of Prime. The success of the Prime program is reflected in Amazon's stock performance, which has surged 68.5% over the past year, outpacing industry growth.
Investor Optimism and Technical Outlook:
Salesforce investors have demonstrated increasing optimism, as evidenced by the rising trend channel in the medium to long term. The stock's impressive performance since breaking through resistance at $215 indicates a positive sentiment among investors.
Conclusion:
The collaboration between Amazon and Salesforce represents a pivotal moment in the e-commerce landscape. The integration of "Buy with Prime" not only strengthens the Prime program but also opens new avenues for merchants to capitalize on the rapidly expanding Prime subscriber base.

Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) Surges on Q3 EarningsSalesforce surges on Q3 earnings beat amid 'green shoots' of cloud demand rebound.
Salesforce lifted its full-year profit forecast amid what it called 'green shoots' in demand improvement from big buyers of its cloud-focused software.
Salesforce (NYSE: CRM) - shares surged in early Thursday trading after it posted better-than-expected third quarter earnings, as well as a full-year profit boost, amid what it described as improving demand for its cloud-focused client software offerings.
Salesforce said earnings for the three months ending in October, its fiscal third quarter rose 51% from last year to $2.11 per share, just ahead of Street forecasts of $2.06 per share, with revenues rising 11.2% to $8.72 billion, just ahead of analysts' estimates of an $8.715 billion top line.
Looking into the final months of its fiscal year, Salesforce said it sees revenues in the region of $34.75 billion and $34.8 billion, an 11% improvement from last year's levels that was largely in-line with its prior forecasts. Current quarter revenues were forecast between $9.18 billion to $9.23 billion.
Full-year profits, Salesforce said, will likely improve to between $8.18 and $8.19 per share, up 13 cents at the higher end of its prior forecast, with adjusted operating margins expanding to between 30% and 33%.
Salesforce shares, a Dow component, were marked 9.2% higher in pre-market trading to indicate an opening bell price of $251.12, extending its year-to-date advance to just under 90%.
Price Momentum
CRM is trading near the top of its 52-week range and above its 200-day simple moving average.
What does this mean?
Investors have been pushing the share price higher, and the stock still appears to have upward momentum. This is a positive sign for the stock's future value.
Salesforce Developing Head and ShouldersSalesforce Daily
Price Action
CRM is currently attempting a reversal from its uptrend that started back in December / January. The head and shoulders that is developing is rather obvious, however it should noted that the left shoulder had much higher volume than the head; showing lack of buyers willing to participate. The right shoulder does have rather high volume so far, but we believe the gap that was created will be filled immediately and price action will move to the neckline (Red / Teal Solid).
Relative Strength Indicator
As shown, there is a clear divergence (Aqua Solid) that was extended into a trend line (Yellow Solid) which is an area to look for a break though for invalidation. RSI has moved back over the 50 level, but is currently approaching it's line of resistance.
On Balance Volume
Similar to the RSI, OBV has also created a divergence and is also now approaching a level of resistance (Red Solid). Breaking the level would signal an invalidation, however in conjunction with the prior stated analysis, we believe it will become a triple top.
TLDR;
No pittering or pattering, just get to it. I like it, thats how we operate here. A clear head and shoulders pattern is forming with divergences on the RSI and OBV. Both indicators are re-approaching a levels of resistance while price action is attempting to make a lower high from the head. We believe price action makes a turn around, fills the gap, and moves lower to test the neckline; look for heavy selling volume to confirm the break and wait for the retest. Target areas of support are shown if the head and shoulders plays out
What Seems Legit?
Well if you got yer gamblin' purse and got the itch, sell in September no regerts in November. "Bro you missed the hidden continuation divergence!!!", we chose not to label that because the price action stayed flat and didn't actually move higher; which is what you normally see. If you do have your gamblin' purse but your down to your last roll of quarters, wait for the neckline to snap then get your feet wet on the retest.

CRM - BULLISH RALLYSalesforce stock (CRM) has seen a surge due to a truce with activist investor Elliott Management, the introduction of new AI services, and price increases on key products. The stock gained 5% in July, outperforming the market. CEO Marc Benioff's net worth has risen by $2.5 billion. Salesforce raised prices by an average of 9%, driving positive reactions from analysts. The company's AI Cloud product and upcoming AI tools have also generated excitement. Improved expense control and expectations of higher profit margins contribute to the positive outlook, despite economic uncertainties.
It is fair to say previous highs are near posibility.

CRM - Salesforce potential buy entryWhen you take a glance at the CRM chart on the Weekly time frame, you can see that the stock made it's important move above the 200SMA line, which is considered as a good bullish sign for any stock to start it's rally up.
Things to consider when looking at CRM chart:
1. On Weekly time frame, price confirmed it's last known support levels sitting at $191.5 and $195 price levels.
2. If todays CPI data are good, potential buyers may enter the market and all stocks could see a potential upside buy momentum.
3. According to todays inflation news, my entry will be partial, I will not enter the full position since we have a resistance zone just above the current price level, sitting at $203.5 to $206 price range.
4. If the above mentioned resistance line gets broken, I will surely be adding to my position.
5. I will not let the price of stock move a lot, my stop loss level will be set in place at price right below the box which is the last support line. Price I am looking for potential stop loss is set to $108.5. On Weekly time frame, that is just below the 200SMA line. On Daily, it is just under 50SMA line. In my opinion, those are good levels to exit the position if the price has a significant drop.
6. Ideal Take Profit price is set to $275.5 level, which is a good resistance zone. That doesn't mean I will held or close the position, this is just my long term price goal for the stock. If market gives me a clear signal, I will either exit the position or add to it, depending on the signal given.
Of course, this is not a financial advice. This is just my personal opinion. Please do your due diligence before investing. NYSE:CRM
Salesforce (CRM) RISING HIGHERshort term long.If pullback is supported by low volume long. IF the pullback will be followed by high volume short
Salesforce (CRM)
One of the biggest players in the cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) domain, Salesforce (CRM) provides solutions to bring companies and customers together through its platform. Beginning in a San Francisco apartment in 1999, Salesforce now services over 150,000 companies.
Through its digital workflows, Salesforce aids companies in managing customer information and enhances the quality of interactions. It’s powered through data and its brands Tableau, MuleSoft and Heroku.
On 3 May, Salesforce announced it had been ranked as the #1 CRM provider by the International Data Corporation (IDC) for the ninth consecutive year. Earlier this year, on 11 April, the company featured on Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list for the 14th time in a row.
The Salesforce stock market price had grown significantly during Covid-19 global lockdowns. The ability to manage teams and businesses remotely was highly sought after, leading to the CRM historical stock price all-time high of $309.96 on 8 November 2021.
However, since then the stock has fallen nearly 40% amid rising interest rates, peaking inflation and global supply chain issues. At the time of writing, CRM stock had last closed at $189.19 on 9 June.
The company released its Q1 financial results for fiscal year 2023 on 31 May, boosting investor confidence in the Salesforce share value. With $7.41bn in revenue, the company achieved a year-over-year (YoY) growth of nearly 25%.
Following a strong start in its first quarter, what does the future of this cloud-based digital advisor look like? Join us as we undertake a fundamental analysis, catch up on the latest CRM stock news and get analyst insights on Salesforce share price forecast.
Salesforce stock fundamental analysis: Q1 financial results
Salesforce quarterly financial results for fiscal 2023 ended 30 April 2022 showcased strong demand across the diverse range of industries and regions it caters to. Its top-line figure of $7.41bn was a 24.32% increase from Q1 FY 2022 figure of $5.96bn. According to data by Refinitiv, Salesforce surpassed analyst revenue expectations of $7.38bn.
Across its two broad categories of revenue generation, subscription and support, and professional services, the former contributed approximately 92% of the overall revenues. Professional services climbed up to $555m from $427m in Q1 FY 2022.
The company’s subscription and support channelcan be segregated to its sales, services, marketing and commerce, platform, and data domains. Of these, services contributed the most to the overall revenue. At $1.8bn in Salesforce service rose by nearly 20% YoY from $1.5bn. The lowest contributor remained through its data domains at $1bn.
At $4.97bn, the American markets had a YoY growth of 21%, followed by the EMEA region with a 33% increase at $1.73bn, while APAC grew by 24% to $702m.
Salesforce’s remaining performance obligation (RPO), grew by 21%. On a constant currency basis, this growth reflects a 24% YoY growth. RPO represents future revenues from future contracts that will drive revenues within the next 12 months of the company’s operating cycle.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 saw the macro environment turning shaky amid global supply chain issues and rising inflation. Salesforce reported a revenue headwind of nearly $109m YoY due to adverse foreign exchange movements. However, from its core operating business, the performance remained solid, reporting $3.7bn through its operating cash flow for the quarter ended 30 April. The company showcased a 15% growth from the previous year’s $3.2bn for the same quarter.
Salesforce has continually upgraded to offer more than sales and service-related products. Through its data, marketing and commerce platforms, the company’s revenue opportunities, calculated through its total addressable market (TAM), are anticipated to grow to $284bn by 2026.
Salesforce’s bottom-line, however, remained underwhelming. Compared to the same quarter a year ago, net income fell to $28m from $469m. Using Q1 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) diluted earning per share (EPS) was $0.03. Non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.98 beat the Zacks consensus analyst expectations of $0.93.

Price action has formed a bullish ascending triangle formation.

Where will CRM go today?As you might now, later that day CRM will publish their earnings. What is priced in in the options and what does that tell us?
IV, IM
- We have a very high Implied Volatility. The calculated Implied Move is 14.90 USD according to my data. Therefore the lower Zone is at ~148 and the upper zone is at ~178. This is a 9% move!
- Remember the Implied Volatility is equal to one standard deviation. Therefor the chance is 68% that the price stays within the zone from 148 - 178 after earnings.
PUTS
- The number of Put-Options out-of-the-money compared to the Put-Option in-the-money is 91.59%. Remember, when Put-Options will be in-the-money at expiration they are assigned. Hence Option Traders speculate on a change of price and not want to buy or sell the underlying, you can safely assume, that the vast majority (91%) of all Option Traders believe, that the price will not drop any further.
- The most traded Put Option price is at 150 USD. 46% of all traders believe, the price will not drop below 150 USD.
- If the price would drop below 150, many shares will be assigned and bought at that price. Therefor, 150 USD will act as natural resistance.
CALLS
- Calls out and in-the-money are very even. There is no signal to recognize.
- The most traded Call is at 157.50. Hence Calls become worthless when they are out-of-the-money at expiration, its safe to assume that 42% of all Option-Trader that buy Callls, believe the price will be above 157.50 USD.
Summarize:
- Resistance at 150 due to Put Options
- Strong bullish signal Put Options (91% overall, above price 163.61 USD)
- Bullish signal Call Options (42% believe above 157.50 USD)
(all data is analyzed with the expiration day 3.3.23)
