Amazon.com: 3-Day Rule in Effect?
The "3-day rule" is a basic principle that suggests traders should wait for the third day after a drop to consider entering a stock. That concept may now apply to e-commerce giant Amazon.com.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the gap lower on Thursday, one session after the Federal Reserve hammered sentiment with its "higher for longer" message. Notice how AMZN has managed to hold its ground since, despite the broader market edging lower.
Second, the stock is trying to stabilize near the bottom of the Keltner Channel and the 100-day simple moving average (SMA).
Next, stochastics have dipped to an oversold condition.
Finally, consider the price action around $128. AMZN peaked there in early June. It broke out (on above-average volume) in the second half of the month and bounced there in July and early August. Friday’s low was $0.52 above that level, which could mean support is holding.
