What's Behind the Reading
August 28, 2026Amazon's RSI of 56.95 indicates a neutral momentum, leaning towards the stronger side, with the stock trading 7.3% above its 50-day moving average and 6.20% below its 52-week high. This suggests a period of sustained upward movement without reaching overbought conditions. The company reported strong Q2 2026 earnings on July 30, 2026, with an EPS of $5.75, significantly topping the consensus estimate of $1.82, and quarterly revenue rising 19.6% year-over-year to $200.61 billion, exceeding expectations. This robust financial performance, driven by e-commerce and cloud services (AWS), likely contributed to the positive price action and the stock's position above its 50-day moving average.

Methodology
The verdict on this page is mechanical: we compute the 14-day Relative Strength Index with Wilder’s smoothing from AMZN’s daily closing prices, and apply the conventional thresholds — above 70 is overbought, below 30 is oversold. Moving averages, the 52-week range, and volume comparisons come from the same price history.
Indicators are recomputed after every market close. The AI commentary adds context from current news via grounded search, but never changes the computed verdict. Note: closes are as-traded; a stock split would distort readings for a few weeks until the window rolls past it.
