Momentum stocks have been enjoying good flow lately, and Amazon has been a beneficiary. Jim Cramer and I featured Amazon when we discussed the FANG stocks on Mad Money just two weeks ago. At the time, the chart was weak, but since then, Amazon has shown some nice power and now has a V shaped chart. While that seems rather rushed (Nasdaq: AMZN is up more than 15% in a mere two weeks!), I would not be surprised to see a bit of give back.
However, the chart is constructive and the shorts are now on the run. On Monday, the stock bolted higher on decent turnover, gapped above the 200 ma, and closed near the highs of the session. The MACD is on a buy signal here, and while the resistance is ahead (about 8% higher), there is still room to move up. A nice pullback/consolidation would be okay here. I would expect to see a lower high on the chart and then a move back up.
