Chart Of The Day: Amazon - 2 Trillion And Growing

  • 100% technical buy signals
  • 12 new highs and up 11.69% in the last month
  • 54.213+ Weighted Alpha

The Chart of the Day belongs to the e-commerce company Amazon.com (AMZN). I found the stock by using Barchart's powerful screening functions to find stocks with the highest technical buy signals, highest Weighted Alpha, superior current momentum and having a Trend Seeker buy signal then used the Flipchart feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. Since the Trend Seeker signaled a buy on 6/11 the stock gained 5.15%.
