AMC Daily Chart Analysis

• Shares are trading in what technical traders would call a flag pattern. Although this is considered bearish, the stock could break out of the pattern in either direction.
• The stock is trading below both the 50-day moving average (green), and the 200-day moving average, indicating the sentiment in the stock has been bearish.
• Each of these moving averages may hold as an area of resistance in the future.

Key AMC Levels To Watch

• The stock is trading in the flag pattern, but outside of the flag pattern the stock trades within a sideways channel on the larger scale.
• The flag pattern may break out in either direction and likely will see a stronger push in the same direction as the break.
• If the stock breaks pattern resistance, it may see a push higher up toward the $60 resistance in the channel. A break of pattern support could let the stock drop to near the potential $20 support level in the channel.
