Lets take a look at the technical aspects of todays trading. This is a top reversal day also known as an 'engulfing' day or an 'outside' day. AMZN opened the high and went straight down on heavy volume to close the lows. It engulfs the entire previous days action. This is a TEXTBOOK reversal signal, and extremely important.

Now, what to make of it. For examples of previous type days in AMZN get out your charts and look at Sept. 24, 1997 and Oct. 31, 1997. Each of these days was also an engulfing top that resulted in dramatic price declines:

On Sept. 24 the high was 57 3/4 and the stock dropped to 42 1/4 in 17 days. Thats 15 1/2 points or a 27% decline.

On Oct. 31 the high was 65 1/2 and after the engulfing top AMZN dropped to 44 in just 8 days. Thats 21 1/2 points or a 32.8 % decline.

What does that mean for today? Well todays top is even more significant because it occured AFTER the earnings report. I would expect AMZN's price to drop AT LEAST 27-32%. From todays high of 64 1/8 that would be a target range of 42 1/8 to 47 5/8 ............probably FAST, 8-17 days or LESS.

That is the INITIAL target. I expect it will continue lower than that a few weeks later since the FLOAT will be increasing. The previous 2 engulfing tops in Sept. and Oct. did not have the added bonus of 19 million shares looming over the market. I stand by my prediction that AMZN will be low 30's by next quarter report. Then I will reevaluate. Best of luck to all.............;^)
