AMZN Waiting on a breakout or breakdown  

Amazon.com, Inc.NASDAQ

Description

Amazon has some pretty lofty analyst price targets, most around $1100 a share. But, the price appears to be setting up a descending triangle pattern, I'm not too familiar with this pattern but from what I understand its a pattern that suggests a downward break in price movement. I'll be watching this closely to see how price breaks out of the pattern. Looking for a break through the upper trendlines on RSI, Price, MacD or volume.

If you're more familiar with this pattern or things to watch for please feel free to comment.

Comment

Looks to me that if we get one more green day we will be above the top resistance point and there could possibly be a macD cross. I'm curious if price will rally now into earnings, or trade in this wedge and breakout after earnings. From what I remember lots of tech tickers beat on earnings last quarter and were followed by a 5-10% drop, I'd be very surprised if that happened again.

Hey nice analysis.
As I saw in the book "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" by John Murphy.
This is ment to be a continuation pattern, also notice whats seems to be a bullish divercence in macD, Higher lows at macD while lowers lows at chart.
Let's at which direction does the chart break the triangle.

@ferran7, Thanks so much for commenting, I'd completely missed the divergence there in the MacD. So you're thinking this will be a continuation of the long term uptrend? That's what I was thinking as well, but wasn't sure how this pattern indicated that. For now we'll just assume its bullish.

@gingerheadtrader, yes! notice now how it broke the upper line of the triangle.
