The e-commerce and cloud computing giant Amazon received clearance from Britain’s competition regulator regarding the acquisition of iRobot Corporation for $1.7 Billion.

Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN Stock) – Candle Exploration
AMZN share price has been going north with a positive momentum since March 2023. However, since the RSI of 62.52 is close to the overbought range, price action has been wobbling in a range for the last few trading sessions. It is likely that it would consolidate below the supply zone for some time.
The next strong momentum shall come after the breakout of the supply zone, and the next earnings could play a pivotal role. If the price drops, it could bounce off immediate resistance, and possibilities of dropping below the demand zone are scarce for now.
