From the daily chart of Micron's stock price, after hitting an all-time high of $1,255 in June, the stock underwent a continuous pullback, dropping to a low of $737.88 before embarking on a sustained rebound. It subsequently formed a potential head-and-shoulders bottom structure, with the left shoulder at $804, the head at $737.88, and the right shoulder forming around $887.
Currently, the formation of the head-and-shoulders bottom structure suggests that short-term bullish momentum in the market will be significantly enhanced. The primary upside target for the stock will be to challenge the recent rebound high of $1,036.13. If it can break through and hold firmly above this level, it will open up upside room toward the previous all-time high of $1,255, and may even set a new record high.
On the downside, the primary support level to watch is near $887. If this level is lost, the stock may further probe down toward around $800. If the decline continues, the stock may test the support at the low of $737.88.
