Despite this, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 54.39 suggests Amazon stock is now out of the oversold zone, potentially creating opportunities for bullish investors.

The Bollinger Bands (25), ranging from $176.75 to $204.75, also support a bullish perspective, indicating room for price appreciation. Amazon’s stock price can be seen heading from the lower bearish band to the upper bullish band.
