Advanced Micro Gives a Class on Candlesticks
Advanced Micro Devices has done more recently than just plunge to its lowest level in over two years. It’s also given some interesting lessons on candlestick patterns.
The heavily traded chip had a thick red bar on October 7 after preannouncing weak quarterly results. The next session saw prices inch lower but remain in a tight range. On October 11, AMD made a higher high and lower low: an outside day. The 12th was just the opposite, with a small inside candle. Then another outside day (bullish), a bearish inside day on Friday and a positive inside candle on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday saw another pair of outside and inside moves.
All those candles, on the heels of four weeks of solid downside, could potentially suggest prices are stabilizing. Is all the bad news priced in before CEO Lisa Hsu announces final numbers on November 1?
Next, the patterns occurred around $59. That level held AMD in check February and July 2020 before excitement about 7nm Ryzen chips triggered a breakout. Could old resistance be turning into new support?
