The Advanced Micro Devices stock holds a sell signal from the short-term moving average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term moving average at approximately $110.79. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $95.52. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 months Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, August 04, 2021, and so far it has fallen -9.34%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

Advanced Micro Devices finds support from accumulated volume at $106.19 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
