AmerisourceBergen Corp. (ABC Stock): Price Hovers Below $193

During the start of 2023, ABC stock price was under the control of the bears and it was in a downtrend forming lower lows, while falling from the high of $169. The downtrend pushed the price toward the $150 mark and it formed a support at $147.50. 

This turned out to be a crucial support level as the price gained strong bullish momentum and shot up to form a high at $193.44. The price encountered a hurdle near $175.50 and retraced toward the $164 level. After the retracement, the price regained bullish momentum to shatter the resistance level of $175.50. 

Currently, AmerisourceBergen stock price is facing rejection from the $193 level. The recently closed candle was not a strong bearish candle and if the price can form a support, there is a possibility that price might shatter the resistance level of $193 and rise toward the major psychological level of $200. 

If the price can break below $188, there is a high probability for the price to retrace toward the recent support of $184, which would cause a loss of roughly 2%. On the other hand, if the price can break and close above $193, it can move further upward towards $200.
