AI chip launch and investments accelerate as Amazon broadens cloud push

Amazon has launched direct sales of its custom Trainium AI chips to external companies, moving beyond exclusive internal use within Amazon Web Services and entering direct competition with established chipmakers, according to Simplywall. This strategic shift opens a new revenue stream and positions Amazon to capture enterprise demand in the expanding AI hardware market, drawing market attention to its technology ambitions. Recent capital-raising efforts, including a $25 billion U.S. bond sale for cloud and AI expansion plans as reported by Finance Yahoo, further support this drive. Additionally, Amazon has continued to invest in global infrastructure, as shown by the July 15 foundation stone laying for a major Amazon Web Services data centre in Telangana, according to Thehindu, reinforcing its long-term commitment to cloud leadership despite last quarter's earnings miss reported by Tipranks.

Bullish momentum persists as mixed signals temper conviction

On the technical front, AMZN/USD is trading above the MA-20 ($246.74) and MA-50 ($245.1) on the hourly chart, with the price also well over the MA-200 ($233.59) on the daily. The Ichimoku Kijun at $245.97 provides immediate support for price action. Among momentum indicators, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a strong buy signal, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) is neutral, reflecting indecision in trend strength. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 57.91 and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) both indicate buying pressure, but Stochastic RSI is neutral and Bull/Bear Power signals an overbought condition, underscoring mixed short-term signals. The Awesome Oscillator also confirms a bullish tone, even as price currently trades near today’s low amid subdued intraday volatility.

High breakout odds as consolidation tightens in defined band

In the short term, price is likely to consolidate within a typical volatility band ranging from $247.1 to $259.35. The probability of an upward breakout remains very high given dominant buying signals, while the chance for a downside move is assessed as very low. The baseline scenario anticipates further consolidation in this corridor; a close above resistance could trigger bullish continuation, while a breakdown below support may lead to a corrective pullback.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Amazon’s strategic push into selling Trainium AI chips externally as a meaningful step to diversify revenue and reaffirm its ambitions in the AI space. He notes the recent $25 billion bond raise and investment in India supports a long-term expansion plan. However, mixed technical signals and the recent earnings miss temper the outlook and raise caution for near-term momentum. "Until price convincingly escapes the $247.1–$259.35 consolidation, I remain defensive and would avoid chasing upside," Kharitonov says.

Earlier, analysts highlighted Amazon’s ongoing bullish structure despite mixed momentum signals and a consolidating price trend. With Amazon now expanding its AI chip strategy and reaffirming its cloud infrastructure ambitions, traders should monitor the $259.35 resistance for a potential breakout signaling renewed upside momentum.
