Technical Analysis – GameStop stock moves sideways as rebound falters



GameStop’s stock has been edging higher in the short term after its downtrend halted at the double bottom region of 76.00. However, the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) capped the stock’s latest advance, and the price is currently trading sideways.

The momentum indicators suggest a cautiously positive near-term bias. The MACD histogram is slightly below its red signal line in the positive region, while the RSI is pointing up beyond its 50-neutral threshold.

Should buying interest intensify further, the price might challenge its recent peak of 151.50. Conquering this barricade, the bulls could aim for the October 2021 support region of 166.00 before the 2022 high of 198.00 appears on the radar. Higher, the 254.40 peak could prove a tough obstacle for the share price to overcome.

On the flipside, if positive momentum wanes and the price reverses downwards, the 113.00 level, which is the lower boundary of the stock’s recent rangebound pattern could act as immediate support. Breaching this area, attention could shift to the 85.40 hurdle. A violation of the latter would set the stage for the 2022 low of 76.00.

In brief, GameStop’s stock appears to be in a consolidation phase after its rebound failed to propel higher. Nevertheless, a break above the 151.50 ceiling could revive buyers’ hopes for a sustained recovery.
