Massive home shopping demand rocketed Amazon shares to new highs during the coronavirus lockdown, but recent bullish price action hint at even more monster gains ahead. Here’s why…<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

It has been an interesting year for Amazon ($AMZN), the mega household name with humble beginnings as an online book store just twenty-five years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fueled by an earnings-driven breakaway gap<\/a> higher, $AMZN cruised to an all-time high in early February. However, the breakout did not last long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon tumbled alongside of the broad market during the coronavirus sell-off from late February through mid-March. It was quite a nasty reversal that “shook the tree” and undercut almost a year’s worth of prior lows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because fear is a more powerful human emotion than greed<\/a>, stocks tend to take the stairs up and the elevator down. As such, it was not surprising that $AMZN gave back 25% in just 23 sessions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, the impressive bullish reversal off the March lows that followed was a monster<\/em> move<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As shown on the weekly chart of Amazon above, notice how $AMZN rocketed 40% higher to another fresh, all-time high just 20 trading days after bottoming in mid-March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a base for the next breakout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stocks can not go up in a straight line forever, and Amazon is currently going through a much-needed price consolidation<\/a> to digest the recent advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

$AMZN price action during the recent consolidation has been constructive, with only one lower weekly close during the past six weeks (which was met with support). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also like last week’s tight close on a bullish reversal bar. Lighter volume during the consolidation at the highs is also bullish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10-week moving average (similar to the 50-day moving average) has not yet caught up to the price of $AMZN, but is closing in to soon provide support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With tight consolidation after a massive reversal higher on the weekly chart, Amazon may again be setting up for another huge run after the current correction by time (consolidation) is finished.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, let’s zoom in to the shorter-term daily chart of $AMZN for a closer look at recent price action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since beginning its consolidation six weeks ago, notice that $AMZN has only made a Fibonacci retracement<\/a> of 25% off the high of its last wave up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is another bullish sign, as any pullback less than a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement indicates a strong trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
