AMC in a tough spot. Is there any hope?
Updated
AMC definitely not looking great. No matter how I try to see this, I don't feel like this is a super bullish chart? AMC got above 30B in Mcap after a major squeeze and was one of the meme stocks that did very well. In Market cap terms it was definitely the largest ever if I am not mistaken. The truth is that the short interest is still relatively high, but I don't think the previous squeeze was primarily a short squeeze. Currently at 18% of FF maybe AMC manages to have another push.
33-36$ is a key support area as 33$ was resistance back in 2015 and has now turned into support. There are some levels also lower that AMC could find support but I don't think such an explosive move would happen again. The CEO has definitely tried to squash the rally by selling as much stock as he could, but even with all of that the company is still 6B USD in debt and only has 2B in cash (so still not in great shape).
So for now in my opinion AMC has to hold 42$ for it to continue higher soon. So far it has broken some key support levels and the downturn accelerated which isn't great, but as 40 has held there is still hope. In my opinion if it manages to close above 60$ next time around, I think it will go much higher. Essentially waiting for the breakout trade or to buy below 36 might be the best idea for now.

Note
AMC swept a key low and bounced, but every time it has been retesting the previous lows it keeps going lower. In the short term I can see it bottom somewhere between 34$ and 28$
