Watch These AMD Price Levels as Stock Hits 5-Month High Following Last Week's AI Showcase
AMD shares continued gaining ground Tuesday, boosted by upbeat Wall Street commentary following the chipmaker's "Advancing AI" event last week. The stock broke out from a pennant pattern earlier this month and closed above the closely watched 200-day moving average in Monday's trading session. Investors should watch crucial overhead areas on AMD's chart around $145, $160 and $175, while also monitoring support levels near $115 and $ Micro Devices (AMD) shares continued gaining ground Tuesday, boosted by upbeat Wall Street commentary following the chipmaker's "Advancing AI" event last week. Piper Sandler on Monday raised its price target for the stock and expressed enthusiasm for AMD's recently unveiled Helios server rack architecture, which will combine the company's next-generation AMD MI400 chips into one larger system. The investment bank pointed out that the hardware, anticipated for release in 2026, is "pivotal" for the growth of AMD Instinct GPUs. Meanwhile, analysts at Bank of America speculate that the chipmaker could announce Amazon (AMZN) as a partner after the tech giant's cloud unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS), was a key sponsor of last week's event. AMD shares rose 0.6% to around $127 on Tuesday, after surging nearly 8% yesterday to pace S&P 500 advancers. The stock is up 66% from its early-April low, though has gained just 5% since the start of 2025 amid uncertainty over chip export curbs and the company's ability to capture a greater share of the lucrative AI chip market that's now dominated by Nvidia (NVDA). Below, we break down the technicals on AMD's chart and point out crucial price levels worth watching out for. After hitting their May high, AMD shares formed a pennant, a chart pattern that signals a continuation of the stock's uptrend that started in early April. Indeed, the stock broke out from the pattern earlier this month and staged a volume-backed close above the closely watched 200-day moving average in Monday's trading session. Moreover, the relative strength index indicates bullish momentum, generating a reading just below the indicator's overbought threshold. Let's identify three crucial overhead areas on AMD's chart to watch and also point out support levels worth monitoring. Follow-through buying could trigger an initial rally toward $145. This area may provide overhead selling pressure near several peaks and troughs that formed on the chart between April and December last year. A decisive close above this crucial area may see the shares test resistance around $160. Investors could seek to lock in profits in this location near a trendline that connects a range of corresponding trading activity that developed on the chart from April to October last year. The next overhead area to watch sits at $175. The shares may run into sellers in this region near prominent peaks that emerged in May and October last year. During retracements in the stock, it's firstly worth monitoring the $115 level. The stock could encounter support near last week's retest of the pennant pattern's breakout point, which also closely aligns with a range of price action stretching back to mid-January. Finally, selling below this level opens the door for a drop to lower support around $108. Investors could seek to accumulate AMD shares in this location near the low of the pennant pattern and early-February low.

AMD Stock Soars as Piper Sandler Raises Price Target After 'Advancing AI' Event
Advanced Micro Devices shares jumped nearly 10% to lead S&P 500 gainers Monday as Piper Sandler raised their price target for the chipmaker's stock. The move comes after AMD's "Advancing AI" event last week, which saw the reveal of next-generation server rack architecture. Bank of America analysts expect a partnership to be announced between AMD and Amazon Web Micro Devices (AMD) shares popped nearly 10% to lead S&P 500 gainers Monday as Piper Sandler analysts raised their price target for the stock coming out of the chipmaker's "Advancing AI" event. Piper raised its target to $140 from $125 and maintained an "overweight" rating for AMD stock. Shares of AMD were at about $127 in recent trading, making Piper's target a roughly 10% premium. The analysts came away "enthused" by the firm's newly unveiled Helios server rack architecture, which it called "pivotal" for the growth of AMD Instinct GPUs. Helios will combine next-generation AMD MI400 chips into one larger system, the company said, and is expected in 2026. AMD highlighted its partnerships with ChatGPT maker OpenAI, Meta Platforms (META), Oracle (ORCL), Microsoft (MSFT), and others at the event. Bank of America analysts believe there's another high-profile partner announcement to come: Amazon (AMZN). Amazon Web Services (AWS) was "a key sponsor for the event," BofA said. However, AWS typically uses its own events to announce new engagements, making a future reveal likely, the bank added. BofA maintained a "buy" rating and price target of $130 following the event. For comparison, the analyst consensus price target from Visible Alpha is about $124.
