Buy or Hold candidate since Aug 03, 2026 Loss -2.09%

The Amazon stock price increased 1.32% on the most recent trading day (Monday, 10th Aug 2026), climbing from $274.48 to $278.09. Throughout the last trading session, the stock experienced fluctuations of 2.39%, with a low of $273.60 and a high of $280.14. The price has shown volatility during this period, resulting in a 20.18% increase over the past 2 weeks. Volume surged on the last day alongside the price, indicating a positive technical signal, with 3 million additional shares traded compared to the previous day. Overall, 35 million shares changed hands for roughly $9.60 billion.

The stock lies the upper part of a very wide and falling trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break up at the top trend line at $283.22 will firstly indicate a slower falling rate, but may be the first sign of a trend shift. Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -3.38% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $217.75 and $273.64 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.

AMZN Signals & Forecast

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 $275.79 and $247.42. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, August 03, 2026, and so far it has fallen -2.09%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Monday, December 22, 2025 in the long-term chart.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Amazon stock

Amazon finds support from accumulated volume at $271.58 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $6.54 between high and low, or 2.39%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.48%.

Our recommended stop-loss: $266.11 (-4.31%) (This stock has high daily movements and this gives high risk. There is a sell signal from a pivot top found 5 days ago.)

Trading Expectations (AMZN) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect Amazon.com, Inc. to open at $277.28, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $273.53 and $282.65, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$9.11 (+/-3.33%) up or down from last closing price. If Amazon.com, Inc. takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.33% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $284.02 (2.13%) than the support at $271.58 (2.34%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is Amazon.com, Inc. stock A Buy?

Amazon holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.

Current score: 0.820 Hold/Accumulate Unchanged
