There are mixed signals in the stock today. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, December 18, 2023, and so far it has fallen -1.75%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The Amazon stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $148.66 and $148.60. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.

Amazon finds support from accumulated volume at $149.97 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
