Broadcom Inc. (AVGO Stock) – Candle Exploration
AVGO’s share price has been in a range since January 2022 and it finally broke out in May 2023. It was a strong breakout, and the price might create a new 52-week high. The sharp upward move in the EMA indicates a bullish momentum, but the RSI value of 71.16 entering the overbought zone hints at a slight retracement.
If the bullish momentum continues, traders could witness new highs in the price. But if it drops, the price shall bounce off the immediate support level to consolidate in a range before breaking the 52-week high. Experts argue that the possibility of a rally is high until the price is above the buying zone.
