The stock has broken the wide and weak rising short-term trend down. This signalizes a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning about a possible trend shift. Due to the trend being broken there will now be resistance at the bottom line of the trend at $3 304.11. A reaction back to this level may hold a second chance to get out before further falls.

Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Amazon stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term moving averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $3 313.72 and $3 511.22. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 months Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Amazon finds support from accumulated volume at $3 270.39 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
