Keltner Channels and Fibonacci in Advanced Micro Devices
Like many technology stocks, Advanced Micro Devices has rebounded sharply in 2023, but is it due for a pullback? This chart considers a few indicators and patterns to address that question.
First, prices shot through the top of the Keltner Channel in early February but are now back inside the bands. Based on other moments, like early August, mid-October and late November, that may indicate a change of direction. (See the white arrows.)
Second, how far might it retreat? This chart includes Fibonacci retracement lines. Giving back half its year-to-date gains would return the chipmaker to $76.84. That is also near the fourth quarter’s highest daily closing price of $77.63 on November 30.
Third is AMD’s longer-term trend. Notice how the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) remains below the 200-day SMA. Some traders may want to see the lines getting closer to a “golden cross” before jumping back in.
