Within the weekly bar chart of AMD, beneath, we are able to see a powerful three-year advance. Each pullback and dip to the rising 40-week shifting common line has been a shopping for alternative. Weekly buying and selling quantity has diminished lately and the OBV line was robust for a very long time earlier than turning sideways in current weeks.
The MACD oscillator has simply crossed to the upside for a brand new outright purchase sign.
On this Level and Determine chart of AMD, beneath, we used every day price information. Right here we are able to see a current upside breakout and a possible $114 price goal.
