Bullish tilt prevails as price flirts with breakout zone
In the short term, Affirm is expected to trade within a typical volatility band of $67.00 to $74.00 over the next five sessions. With a majority of weekly indicators trending bullish or strong buy, the probability of further gains is above 80%. The base scenario anticipates sideways movement between support and resistance, a bullish scenario looks for a breakout above $71.50 toward the upper boundary, and the bearish case would see price slipping below $69.85, exposing $67.00 as the next target.
Previously it was reported that Affirm was showing short-term upward momentum, trading just above its 20-day moving average but still encountering resistance below the 50-day indicator, with support near the Ichimoku Kijun and the 200-day average. Despite robust institutional buying and an extended Amazon partnership, daily technicals remain mixed as the MACD signals bearish pressure while buyers drove renewed growth optimism amid divergence among other momentum indicators.
