Strategic layoffs and AI focus drive investor scrutiny post-earnings

Amazon reported strong third-quarter 2025 earnings on October 30, with growth led by Amazon Web Services and increased AI investment. The company also announced a major workforce reduction, cutting up to 30,000 corporate jobs amid ongoing cost control and efficiency measures. Investors are monitoring how management balances aggressive investment in cloud and AI with profitability targets.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Amazon’s technical position above key moving averages as a sign of resilience but remains wary given the volatile session and overbought indicators like Stoch RSI and Bull/Bear Power. He notes that, despite solid earnings and the appeal of AI investment, large workforce reductions and persistent cost controls hint at underlying efficiency concerns and potential margin pressures. Kharitonov is skeptical about the sustainability of short-term gains amid mixed momentum signals and urges caution as multiple technical indicators warn of possible retracement. "I recommend investors avoid chasing this rally, as the risk of a pullback below $221.93 is underestimated in the current sentiment," he says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, interprets Amazon’s post-earnings momentum as evidence of enduring institutional confidence, especially given the company’s proactive approach to AI-driven growth and assertive cost management. He notes that macro headwinds appear muted, and the combination of robust AWS expansion with decisive restructuring has reinforced market optimism. Karapetjanc states that the bullish structure remains intact, offering multiple setups for further growth as volatility persists. "The current setup provides investors attractive entry points, and I believe further upside beyond $225.04 is likely as Amazon consolidates its AI and cloud leadership," he explains.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, believes Amazon’s near-term price action presents tactical trading opportunities as sentiment remains elevated following upbeat earnings and strategic restructuring. He sees short-term resistance at $225.04 as a key inflection point, with the potential for swift profit-taking should momentum falter. "Given mixed technicals and a sharp rally, I’d look for rapid reversals near $222.89 for nimble trades," he advises.

Uptrend sustained as mixed momentum and overbought signals persist

The stock’s trade above all key moving averages signals a solid uptrend, with the next dynamic support near the Ichimoku Kijun at $221.93 and resistance at $225.04 or the nearest round number. Momentum is mixed — MACD is neutral, ADX signals a weak trend, while RSI and CCI show some buying interest. Stoch RSI issues a strong sell, and Bull/Bear Power points to overbought short-term conditions. The Awesome Oscillator supports bullish momentum, but several indicators caution against overextension.

Previously it was noted that Amazon South Africa launched temporary physical stores under the Shop Mzansi brand to connect entrepreneurs and shoppers during Heritage Day and spotlight locally made products. This initiative facilitated interaction between entrepreneurs and customers in the region.
