“+1.41% Pre-Earnings Drift: Amazon Holds $224 Support Ahead of Oct 30 Report; Momentum Turns Neutral-Positive”
Market Recap (as of Oct 28 2025)
Amazon closed +1.23% at $226.97, with pre-market quotes edging to $227.40 (+0.19%) as investors position for its upcoming Q3 earnings call on Oct 30 at 5 p.m. GMT-4.
Trading volume reached 36.2 M, below its 44.4 M daily average, reflecting cautious sentiment after the broader mega-cap tech rebound.

Technical Outlook
AMZN’s intraday structure shows price compression above short-term moving averages with momentum flattening.
RSI (14, 1D) ≈ 56.8 → neutral, suggesting balanced buying and selling pressure.
MACD (12, 26) trend remains marginally positive yet without clear separation from the signal line, implying indecision before a catalyst.
Price oscillates tightly around EMA 20 & EMA 50 support confluence near $222, keeping the broader uptrend intact.
Support: $220
Resistance: $228 / $232 / $238
A confirmed breakout above $228 could re-ignite momentum toward the upper channel near $232–$238, while any close below $221 risks short-term mean reversion.
