Advanced Micro Fails to Advance

NASDAQ:AMD   Advanced Micro Devices Inc
Many chip stocks have surged on AI hopes recently, but Advanced Micro Devices has been notably absent.

The first patterns on today’s chart are weekly lows around $161.81 and $172.49. AMD has been stuck between these levels for the past month. In the process, it’s formed a range below its March peak. Will this mark a new top?

Second, prices have been unable to break above the falling 50-day simple moving average. The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has also slipped back under the 21-day EMA. Those events may reflect weakening intermediate and short-term trends.

Third, MACD has turned negative.


The weekly chart may have further signals. The bounce in May stalled at a 50 percent retracement of the drop in March and April. AMD also failed to hold a breakout above its 2021 peak. That could make buyers mull the possibility of an even deeper pullback toward the June 2023 high of $132.82.
