Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) | Technically a Good Opportunity!Hi,
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), have been waiting for that pullback and here it is.
Advanced Micro Devices designs microprocessors for the computer and consumer electronics industries. The majority of its sales are in the personal computer and data center markets via CPUs and GPUs. Additionally, the firm supplies the chips found in prominent game consoles such as the Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox. AMD acquired graphics processor and chipset maker ATI in 2006 in an effort to improve its positioning in the PC food chain.
Technically the area around $100 is the key level for AMD. Again, this round number, this psychological number plays a big role on the stock charts. Technical analysis is not so hard just observe these nr's, and you should be okay ;)
To the point, let's describe and count the criteria which make me think that this shown box can be a good spot to grab it:
1. The round number $100 is one of them in the list which can act as a good support level but around it has several quite good criteria which match with it...
2. The strong horizontal price zone. The strongest criterion and probably the strongest price range on the entire AMD chart. We have quite a few things which confirm it. Firstly, $90 to $105 has had multiple rejections in either direction since the end of 2020. It has worked as a support level, it has worked as a resistance level - 9 times this range has changed some direction on the chart.
The second confirmation that it is a strong area is the breakouts. In July 2021 the price of AMD managed to break the first time above $100 and made a perfect retest after that which guides the price to ATH levels. The break was made with a strong and powerful candle. The power is needed to make this happen. This time we have two strong weekly candles smashing down the $100, so the power is there and currently we haven't seen a retest yet. We'll wait for it. So, the strong horizontal level is confirmed with strong breakouts and can act as a key support level to end the short-term correction.
3. Fibonacci retracement 38%. Fibo 38% retracement level is great when we have some sort of momentum involved in stocks. Currently, I can say and obviously, you can see, that there is momentum. Perfect match with other criteria and one extra confluence factor added to the optimal buying zone.
4. The trendline. There are two types of trendlines. One is drawn from bodies (dotted: from candle closes, from weekly closes) and the second one is drawn from wicks. Never try to draw from the wick to the body or vice versa. The trendline is the most subjective criterion considering technical analysis and the rules must have in place! Currently, the sweet spot should stay in the middle of these trendlines and it also matches this possible reversal box.
5. In general price action with new mid-term higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL). 2022 was full of new lows without a single higher high. 2023 is the opposite, since the beginning of 2023 we have seen a strong uptrend with clean and strong higher highs and higher lows. It will give us that needed confirmation that investors are interested in and we have to figure out from where we can jump in...
- Considering technical analysis then the optimal buying zone should stay between $90 to $105.
Good luck,
Vaido
