AMZN Technical Analysis: Levels, Trend & Setups

AMZN current trend

The trend on AMZN is read from the higher-timeframe chart. We treat the daily chart as the structural timeframe and use the 4-hour chart for entries. When the two agree, the trend is considered confirmed. When they disagree, we wait for alignment.

A confirmed trend on AMZN is one where:

• The daily chart prints higher highs and higher lows (uptrend) or lower highs and lower lows (downtrend)
• The 4-hour chart agrees with the daily direction
• Price is respecting a clear moving average or structure level

If any of those three conditions are missing, AMZN is in transition. Transitions are the most common source of losses, so the rule is to reduce size until the trend reasserts.

Key support and resistance levels for AMZN

The levels below are derived from swing points, volume profile, and prior reaction zones. They are not exact lines — they are zones where the probability of a reaction is meaningfully higher.

• Major support is the level a break of which would invalidate the current structure on AMZN.
• Minor support is a level where a bounce is plausible but not structural.
• Major resistance is the level a break of which would shift the trend.
• Minor resistance is a level where a pullback is plausible but not structural.

Treat the levels as decision points, not as signals. The signal is what the price does at the level.

Setups we watch on AMZN

TradingLens has a small set of recurring setups we apply to liquid names like Amazon. For AMZN, the most relevant are:

1. Retest of breakout. When AMZN breaks a major level and pulls back to retest it with a small-bodied candle, the entry is the close of the retest candle.
2. Range failure. When AMZN trades sideways for an extended period, the breakdown or breakout of that range is a high-conviction setup.
3. Trend continuation. When the pullback on AMZN reaches a moving average or a previous structure level and prints a rejection, the entry is the rejection candle.

Each setup has a defined stop and a defined invalidation. If the structure on AMZN does not match one of these templates, the right answer is to wait.

Risk management for AMZN

The most important rule on AMZN is to size every position off the stop, not off the target. The target is what you hope happens. The stop is what you can prove.

For Amazon specifically, we treat the daily ATR as a reference for the minimum stop distance. Anything tighter than that is gambling, not trading.
