Amazon Layoff 172 Employees at The Facility Near SeattleAmazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ) is closing a warehouse in Tukwila, Washington, just south of Seattle, following a layoff of 172 employees at the facility, known as UWA5. Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ) spokesperson Sam Stephenson said employees will be offered opportunities to transfer to other nearby facilities or support if they choose not to stay with Amazon. The company is always evaluating its network to ensure it fits its business needs and improves the experience for employees, customers, partners, and drivers.

Last month, Amazon ( NASDAQ:AMZN ) announced new records for Prime delivery speeds in the first three months of this year, citing a shift to regional fulfilment centers. Amazon has plans to double the number of its smaller Same-Day Delivery facilities in the coming years. Last year, Amazon laid off 27,000 corporate workers, but warehouse jobs were not affected.
AMZN trade ideas
Amazon UpdateFor three weeks now price has been slowly grinding lower in nothing but chop. Is this the initial mini-A-wave of c? That is what it looks like to me as of now. As I have said time and time again, price can take whatever path it wants but ultimately my target boxes almost always get hit. Right now, my target box says price will eventually make it down to the $150's-$160's. I can't say for sure what path it will take or how long it will be, but I can say with confidence this appears to be a corrective pattern and one I am labeling the mini-A wave of micro c. This micro-c should complete the intermediate (A) wave of the larger wave ((2)).
Don't forget corrective patterns can chop until the cows come home and thus can take a very long time. Time wise this mini-A wave, if that is in fact what it is, has already taken longer than the initial a wave. This is partly what makes me think the mini-B wave should be starting very soon if not already. I expect that to raise to the area of the 0.236 @ $185.81 before falling again in C of c of (A) of ((2)). Plan on this larger pattern taking MONTHS to complete.
What is happening for AmazonHello everyone
I guess AMZN is so similar to another enormous teammates in Nasdaq markets and so it is a correction and then follow the rally.
I know that all of my predictions can be failed but it is not meaning that my work is wrong. You should consider a countertrend strategy for your analysis but as I always say" a tradre should chose his side (bull or bear) and decide about that and just time can disclose what is right and what is wrong.
It is not clear that this channel will be broken out to the lower levels or correction will finish in it and Rally continues. Whatever happens, we wait for the end of correction.
Be safe and happy
AMZN: M-top pattern?A price action below 184.00 supports a bearish trend direction.
Increase short exposure for a break below 183.00.
The target price is set at 174.00 (its 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level).
The stop-loss price is set at 193.00 (the start of the retracement).
It will appear that an M-top pattern is busy developing.
Remains a risky trade.
AMZN heads up at $187.49: last strong resistance before 200This is a follow up to my $177 breakout call (click).
Nearing a significant resistance around $188.
Expecting a pullback but the market is strong.
At the least we should get some sideways action.
$ 187.49 - 188.98 is the immediate resistance of interest.
$ 197.94 - 199.63 is next major resistance and maybe top.
$ 181.95 - 182.39 is first good support that bulls must hold.

Red Flags on Amazon chartThe Amazon chart is showing several concerning signs. Although Amazon recently reached a new all-time high, this achievement wasn't supported by the daily Relative Strength Index (RSI), indicating a clear divergence on this indicator. This divergence suggests a loss of upside momentum at a critical juncture - namely around the 2021 peak at 188.65.
Additionally, on the daily chart, the market has been unable to breach the top of its daily Bollinger band. Even a retreat back to the lower end of the Bollinger band could lead to a decline towards 172, signaling a notable setback.
At the very least, it's advisable to tighten up stops on long positions.

Amazon boosts investment in Singapore's cloud infrastructureAmazon Web Services (AWS) has announced a robust investment plan, committing 12bn SGD (approximately 8.88bn USD) over the next four years to bolster the cloud infrastructure in Singapore. This initiative marks a significant move by Amazon to solidify its presence in Southeast Asia, a region renowned for its rapidly expanding economies and tech-savvy population of 670 million. This investment underscores the strategic importance of Southeast Asia as a pivotal battleground for tech giants vying for market dominance.
The region's allure for tech corporations extends beyond its large population. It features dynamic economic growth and a business-friendly climate. Analysts anticipate fierce competition among providers of artificial intelligence services, with success likely to hinge on innovation, pricing strategies, and adherence to local regulations.
Analysing the investment implications, let's review the technical analysis for Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN):
In the Daily (D1) timeframe, the stock has identified resistance at 189.95 USD and support at 176.55 USD. Following a recent correction, the stock has resumed its upward trajectory, indicating potential for reaching new historical highs. Should this trend reverse, the stock could retreat to a lower target of 165.00 USD.
For traders, a continuation of the uptrend with a breakthrough above the resistance level at 189.95 USD offers a potential buying opportunity, with a short-term price target of 200.00 USD. From a medium-term perspective, the price could ascend to 215.00 USD if the upward momentum is sustained.

AMZN Short: Potential Ending Diagonal on Price-Volume DivergenceThis is a short call that I had forced the last wave up to be an "ending diagonal". The reason for doing so is because of the price-volume divergence that is shown on the daily timeframe when AMZN was making a new high.
For those who are familiar with "Ending Diagonal", the imperfection will to be pointed out is"
"Wave 1" did not show clear 3 waves.
"Wave 2" is irregular.
As I admitted on the first paragraph, I did FORCE this count to show a possibility. Thus the stop loss is very tight: just above the high. The first take profit target will be where the wave 4 of a higher degree ends.

Honestly, I may sound crazy - But AMZN possibly $215 before MayBased on my sources and inputs, as well as supporting price action and Volume Price Analysis, i have concluded that while everything else pumps in the bull case, AMZN may be a larger force in a breakout. As per Richard Wycoff, longer consolidation means a larger implied move. AMZN has retested MAs and shown support outside boxes. This thing is primed. Let's see what happens
