Pivot Wyckoff Change Of Character To Bullish Trend

In late Nov 2021, AMD reached an all-time high of $164.46 but retraced subsequently from that point. The price was unable to rebound and instead entered a Wyckoff distribution phase. It broke the $122.50 axis and retested the support of $100 on 22 Jan 2022. The following weeks saw the price range bound and the increase in volume with inability to rally up suggests more weakness ahead. This was confirmed when the price broke the $100 support in a Wyckoff last point of supply (LPSY) fashion.
