Bearish Momentum in AMD Stock Continues
Currently priced at $142.68, AMD’s stock is below its five-day, 20-day, and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMAs), indicating a persistent downward trend. The 20-day simple moving average (SMA), located at $141.97, is closely aligned with the stock price, while the 50-day SMA is higher at $153.29. This disparity signifies a continued decline in momentum.
Furthermore, AMD is trading significantly below its 200-day SMA of $160.23, which shows sustained long-term bearish pressure on the stock.

Potential for a Short-Term Recovery?
While the outlook seems grim, there’s a slight indication for short-term recovery. The eight-day SMA at $138.81 provides a minimal bullish signal, suggesting that a rebound might be on the horizon.
However, the relative strength index (RSI) sits at 46.42, indicating neither an oversold nor overbought condition. This neutrality means there is considerable potential for either stability or further decline.
Technical Indicators Continue to Challenge AMD
Despite the glimmers of potential recovery, broader technical indicators remain unfavorable for AMD. The moving average convergence/divergence (MACD), currently at a negative 3.81, reinforces the ongoing bearish momentum. To change this trajectory, AMD will need a significant catalyst.
AMD has reported market share gains in the third quarter, especially within the notebook and desktop segments. For instance, the company’s desktop market share increased by 6% to reach 28.7%, and its revenue share rose by 8%.
Still, doubts linger regarding the durability of these gains. Analysts question whether this improvement stems from temporary product availability issues at Intel Corp INTC or represents a lasting competitive advantage.
As AMD invests $400 million in research and development in India and explores new opportunities in artificial intelligence, investors are advised to closely monitor technical trends. Should this bearish trend persist, AMD may require more than just market share growth to alter its fortunes.
