Over the past two weeks, Amazon's stock has declined by more than 13%, forming a new bearish channel. Selling pressure has intensified as concerns about potential tariffs begin to affect investor confidence in Amazon's multinational operations. The possible onset of a new trade war could seriously impact some of Amazon’s business model, which relies on importing products from other countries into the United States. This could eventually reduce demand and continue to reinforce the bearish bias in stock movements.
Bearish Channel
Since late February, shortly after the earnings report, Amazon's stock has entered a clear short-term bearish channel, reaching a low of $197 per share. Currently, a minor bullish correction is emerging, approaching the upper boundary of the bearish channel. However, as long as bullish momentum fails to break this upper level, it is likely that the channel will remain the dominant formation, maintaining downward pressure on the stock.
ADX Indicator
The ADX line continues to rise above the neutral level of 20, reaching levels not seen since December 2024. This reflects the momentum of current price movements and the increase in volatility affecting the stock. If the ADX line remains elevated, volatility could either support or challenge the current trend, depending on market dynamics.
MACD Indicator
Lower lows in price movements and higher lows in the MACD histogram have formed a divergence between the indicator and price movements. This imbalance of forces could signal the continuation of short-term bullish corrections.
Key Levels:

MACD Indicator
Lower lows in price movements and higher lows in the MACD histogram have formed a divergence between the indicator and price movements. This imbalance of forces could signal the continuation of short-term bullish corrections.
Key Levels:
- $230: Major resistance. This level corresponds to the highest price zone recorded in December 2024. If the stock returns to this level, it could reactivate a previously forgotten uptrend.
- $216: Current key resistance. This level aligns with the upper boundary of the bearish channel and the 100-period simple moving average. Sustained buying pressure above this level could put the bearish channel at risk.
- $197: Near-term support. This level corresponds to November 2024 lows. If the stock breaks below this support, it could lead to new lows on the chart, reinforcing the ongoing downtrend.
