AMD Tests Support: High Volume Pullback to $221 Awaits Breakout Signal
Latest Close Data

Core Market Drivers
AI chip demand remains a primary tailwind, but stock faces pressure from broader semiconductor sector rotation and potential near-term profit-taking after a strong run.
High pre-market volatility (opened at $230.245) suggests significant intraday sentiment shifts.
Technical Analysis
Volume was elevated at 31.94M shares (Volume Ratio: 1.50), confirming the sell-off.
MACD (12,26,9) shows DIF at -0.73 and DEA at -2.43, with a positive histogram of 3.39, indicating bearish momentum may be slowing but not reversed.
RSI (6) at 65.07 has cooled from overbought levels (>70), suggesting a healthy pullback rather than a trend reversal.
Key Price Levels
Immediate Pivot / Strong Resistance: $221.82 (previous resistance, now key level to reclaim).
Primary Support: $214.82. A break below could target the $210 psychological zone.
Next Resistance: $234.02 (today's high).
Valuation Perspective
