AMZN trade ideas

$AMZN I believe Amazon's stock will retrace to $175 or below for several reasons. Firstly, we've touched the top of the consolidating range at $188 for the third time, suggesting strong resistance at this level. Additionally, there's a bear flag forming on the hourly chart, indicating potential downward momentum. This presents a great buying opportunity when the stock hits the $175 area. Furthermore, with Prime Day coming up next month, I anticipate it will act as a catalyst to drive the stock back up to $200.

Why Amazon's Stock Surge is Just the BeginningAmazon has delivered an impressive performance this year, with its stock appreciating over 20%. Many analysts believe this is just the beginning of a much larger upward trend. Amazon's business model is undergoing a significant transformation, presenting a unique opportunity for investors. Here are three key insights that make a compelling case for buying Amazon stock now. Resurgence in Amazon Web Services' Growth Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's cloud computing division, is experiencing a strong resurgence. AWS allows clients to rent computing space and run workloads over the cloud, a popular strategy that enables customers to scale computing power as needed. This is particularly relevant as many companies are developing AI models to enhance their operations. Despite sluggish demand for AWS in 2023 compared to competitors like Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, the outlook is improving. Amazon's significant investment in Anthropic, a generative AI startup, has equipped AWS with advanced AI tools. CEO Andy Jassy highlighted this in Amazon's Q1 conference call, stating, "We see considerable momentum on the AI front where we've accumulated a multibillion-dollar revenue run rate already." This positive development is reflected in the financial results. In Q1, AWS saw a 17% year-over-year increase in net sales and an 84% rise in operating income. Another growth catalyst is the end of the optimization trend. Last year, companies focused on cost-cutting, including optimizing cloud computing spending. With this trend now complete, AWS is benefiting from new workloads, rather than declining revenue from reduced workloads. AWS remains Amazon's most profitable segment, which is crucial for its success. However, other areas of the business are also starting to contribute significantly. Amazon's Accelerating Cash Generation While AWS has long been profitable, Amazon's commerce divisions haven't always shared that success. The company had to recover from significant investments in its supply network in 2021 and 2022, which affected its North American division. Additionally, Amazon's international operations have historically been unprofitable, but this is starting to change. In Q1, the international segment posted its first profitable quarter since 2021. This turnaround has significantly bolstered Amazon's cash generation, which is now gaining momentum. In the past 12 months, Amazon has generated $50.1 billion in free cash flow (FCF), a stark contrast to the $3.3 billion FCF outflow in Q1 of the previous year. The trends associated with this FCF are equally encouraging. Historically, the first quarter is weak for Amazon due to high spending in Q4. This pattern results in a relative peak at the start of each new year, followed by a significant decline. This occurred again in 2024, but notably, this was the first year in recent memory that the drawdown did not result in a negative FCF. Additionally, the Q4 peak was the highest it has ever been. This indicates that Amazon's cash flows are improving and sustainable, which is a positive sign for investors. As Amazon's cash flows increase, the company could initiate a dividend or start repurchasing stock, benefiting long-term investors. Amazon is Still Below Its Average Valuation Despite Amazon's significant cash flow growth and improvements across its business, the stock is still undervalued based on its price-to-sales (P/S) ratio. Traditional valuation metrics centered around earnings aren't as useful for Amazon yet, but the P/S ratio indicates that Amazon is valued at levels seen during the post-COVID demand drawdown and before that in 2018. This suggests that the stock isn't overvalued and could be a reasonable purchase today. Considering Amazon's growth prospects and increasing FCF, Amazon is an excellent buy right now. There are still many aspects of Amazon's business poised for transformation, and investors will benefit from buying and holding it for the long term. Previous Idea

Is AMZN Ready to Break $200?Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is demonstrating robust performance amidst a backdrop of market volatility. With its stock currently trading around $187.06 in pre-market action, Amazon is poised for significant movements. Let's dive into a detailed technical analysis to explore potential trading opportunities, leveraging indicators, candlestick patterns, and the latest financial news. The daily candlestick chart for Amazon displays a notable bullish momentum. The latest candles are trading above key moving averages, including the 10, 20, 50, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs). This bullish engulfing pattern suggests a potential continuation of the upward trend. The price is trading above the Ichimoku Cloud, indicating a strong bullish trend. The conversion line (blue) is above the base line (red), further confirming the upward momentum. The span A is above span B, reinforcing the bullish outlook. This setup is traditionally a signal to enter long positions. RSI (14) The Relative Strength Index is at 59.70, indicating that the stock is in neutral territory but leaning towards overbought conditions. MACD The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is positive at 0.20, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line, suggesting a buy. Stochastic Oscillator At 89.08, it shows the stock is approaching overbought levels but can still sustain upward momentum. Awesome Oscillator Slightly negative at -0.17 but insignificant to alter the bullish stance significantly. Amazon’s market capitalization stands at an impressive $1.95 trillion, with a Price to Earnings Ratio (P/E) of 51.76, highlighting investor confidence in its growth potential. The company’s revenue for 2023 is strong, and the forecast suggests continued growth, especially in the cloud computing segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS). Expansion in AI and Cloud Amazon’s recent initiatives in AI and further expansion in cloud services are creating positive market sentiment. Reports of AWS securing significant new contracts could propel stock prices further. Consumer Demand Despite broader economic concerns, Amazon’s dominance in e-commerce and its ability to adapt to consumer trends positions it well against competitors. Amazon’s trading volume is substantial, with an average volume of 40.83 million over the past 30 days, indicating strong investor interest. The recent price action shows a clear breakout above the $185 resistance level, suggesting that the stock could test the $200 psychological level soon. Resistance Levels (R1, R2, R3) $187.48, $198.50, and $216.33 respectively Support Levels (S1, S2, S3) $169.64, $162.84, and $145.01 respectively Trade Strategy and Price Targets Long Position Entry Point Consider entering a long position at the current price around $187.06. Stop Loss Set a stop loss below the recent support level at $182.00 to manage downside risk. Target Price First target at $200 (R1), and if the bullish momentum continues, look towards $216.33 (R3) as a secondary target. Short Position Entry Point Only consider shorting if the price breaks below the $180.67 pivot point. Stop Loss Place a stop loss at $185.00. Target Price Initial target at $169.64 (S1), and further downside potential towards $162.84 (S2) if the bearish trend intensifies. Amazon's stock is currently exhibiting strong bullish signals, supported by technical indicators and positive market sentiment. With a potential breakout above $200, there are compelling opportunities for long positions. However, traders should remain vigilant for any signs of a trend reversal and manage risk through well-placed stop losses.

Amazon - Two trading setups!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Amazon. -------- Explanation of my video analysis: In 2020 Amazon stock created massive resistance roughly at the $180 level and started a major correction away from the resistance in 2022. As we are speaking Amazon stock is once again retesting this major resistance level and is therefore at a quite decisive inflection point. Either we will see a breakout or another rejection after which we could then see the overall continuation towards the upside. -------- Keep your long term vision, Philip (BasicTrading)

AMZN Under Pressure to Offer a DividendInventory adjustments are underway for $NASDAQ:AMZN. These adjustments are minor as Dark Pools are holding AMZN long-term, but there are other opportunities to boost ROI in younger companies. AMZN needs to provide a dividend now that it is a Dow 30 stock. The mild rotation is a gentle reminder to the Board of Directors from their most critical and important investors, the Giant Buy Side Institutions. AMZN is the only fortune 500 company on the S&P500 that doesn't provide a dividend YET. The company's CEO is seasoned and aware that the Board must soon offer dividends, as it is no longer merely a "growth" company. The pressure is increasing to force a dividend by the Giant investors. This should happen this year. There are no buybacks going on right now either. So the lowering of inventory is a warning to get this done. The Buy Side has the clout to influence the Board's decisions. This would benefit all investors big and small. The support is at the lows of the red box on the chart, as indicated by the gap down white candle that quickly ended the previous selling by smaller funds. WHEN, not if, AMZN announces a dividend, there is likely to be some brief momentum activity to the upside.

Amazon.com Holds a Key LevelAmazon.com has flirted with new highs for almost two months, and some investors may see an opportunity in its current pullback. The first pattern on today’s chart is the price zone around $175. It was a low on April 30, immediately before AMZN jumped on strong earnings. The e-commerce stock tested and held the level on Friday, followed by a bullish inside candle on Monday. Is support in place? Second, the bounce is occurring near the rising 100-day simple moving average. That may reflect a bullish long-term trend. Third, stochastics have dipped to an oversold condition.

weekly view AMZN inverse head and shoulderThis pattern is not easy to see on the daily, so I added a more clear visualization of it on the weekly. H&S are rarely symmetrical and lining up perfectly. What draws me to this chart is more the bottoming stochastic, the prior high volume pump, the aggressive step in from buyers on the formation of the head. Mix this with AMZN and GOOGL being much more undervalued than the rest of the Mag 7 and you have a recipe for an explosion. Election year too. -210$ is still my price target
