Technical Analysis: Support at $7 Holds
AEHR stock is testing a crucial support zone at $7, a level that has shown buyer interest in the past. The stock is currently trading slightly above support as traders watch to see if it remains above this level after earnings.
A positive earnings report may offer more bull strength at the support and trigger a rebound. If the price rebounds, the next immediate target is a descending trendline resistance. The trendline has rejected prices to trade above it in recent months. This therefore acts as a strong point that will need positive market developments to break above.
However, if earnings disappoint and bearish pressure grows, the stock could fall below $7. A breakdown would however expose NASDAQ:AEHR to lower support zones and potential new lows.
