Technical Analysist
Price Momentum
AXON is trading near the top of its 52-week range and above its 200-day simple moving average.
What does this mean?
Investors have been pushing the share price higher, and the stock still appears to have upward momentum. This is a positive sign for the stock's future value.
Turning UpSince last Monday the stock knew the way down only. But after a new low yesterday it seems that the market is preparing for a correction. If the EMA can be exceeded then a good Fibonacci retracement is possible.

$AXON Setting UpAXON has been a long time RS Leading stock. Nice tight range here with a narrow range setting up long.
$AXON tight at 21 EMANot signs of selling subsiding so might not be wise to come out yet but $AXON looking tight here pulling back to 21 EMA.
If you have to do something tomorrow, might be worth a low risk shot.
AXON Long IdeaI like AXON on a pull back to the box with targets at the Fib extensions above. No longer interested if price falls below the box. Breaking out now so an aggressive trader may want to enter right away for a quick pop into 230/235, but the stock is extended and that entry would not give great r/r to the first target at the 1.272. Needs support of the broader market so be mindful of todays reaction to Powell testimony.
AXON daily possible bullish moves but need to consolidate firstTHE CONSISTENT TRADES analyze AXON as a bullish /strong fundamental stock and therefore would be traded only in a long position.
AXON had two very strong weeks behind itself. Price found resistance at the recent top and start to consolidate on this level.
Volume is increasing which is not the best option for the bulls but is not bearish for now. Only a stronger/bigger red candle with a lot of volume would indicate the possibility of moving down.
Price is above all major MA which is bullish.
RSI is overbought and needs to cool down for future healthy move-up.
MACD formed bearish divergences and needs to continue to drop toward the zero line to cool down.
Overall: AXON is a very bullish and strong fundamental stock, however at the moment is at its extreme and needs to cool down a little bit. The perfect option for the bull would be for the price to drop at 0.38 Fib or 0.5 and then continue to pop up again. In that case, would form both Cap and Handle patter and ascending triangle which both are bullish. Significant pop above the blue dotted line with volume would trigger a long position, otherize we should wait a little bit for the cooling process before a new leg up and break out of this resistance area.
$AXON cup with handle setup$AXON looking orderly on this pullback as it is putting in the handle of its cup with handle base.

$AXON tight @ its 50 MACalm open tonight on the futures.
Not seeing lots of quality setup to probably just see how things progresses tomorrow.
$AXON looks tight on its 50 MA but supply just a bit above make it hard to jump in.
Maybe tiny bit and build it up as it chew through that supply.

$AXON big pre-mkt moveStrong results and move setting up similar to $CAR though not as much short interest so stops should be tight. Looking at the chart if $198.50 holds or gets reclaimed after initial flush then can target move beyond previous highs of $212.50
