• After a consolidation period where eBay's stock fluctuated between $35 and $52, it broke through the $52 resistance in March with an 11% increase.

Since its launch in the 1990s, eBay Inc EBAY stock has had an impressive journey. It started at just under $1 and has increased by 6,640% over the years. Despite this growth, the stock has shown significant volatility, highlighting the dynamic nature of investing in tech giants.

The stock's path to its current state faced many challenges. Notably, eBay's shares reached a peak of $81 in October 2021, but then dropped by 55% over the next year. This sharp decline was due to the stock failing to hold support levels at $47 and $42, eventually stabilizing around $35.

This downturn caused eBay's stock price to fluctuate between $35 and $52, leading to a consolidation period. The phase ended in March when the stock surpassed the $52 resistance level with an 11% rise that month.

Since then, eBay's stock has increased by another 24%. However, it still needs a 25% gain to reach its all-time high again.

This month, eBay's stock has increased by nearly 10%, showing promising signs. Year-to-date figures are even better, with a strong 48% gain. This performance raises interest in the stock's potential to keep rising.

Between October 2002 and December 2004, eBay showed it could grow steadily, increasing by 347% in a strong linear trend.

This past performance implies that if eBay can exceed its previous peak, it could enter another period of strong growth, potentially offering significant returns to investors.

The future of eBay’s stock is interesting as market observers watch to see if it can maintain momentum and possibly set new records, continuing to reward investors with substantial gains.

After the closing bell on Monday, September 16, the stock closed at $64.36, trading up by 1.48%.
