Is it Worth Watching AMD?

$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ has been on an uptrend since last year and the price is now consolidating, looking ready for the next move.

During Advanced Micro Devices' recent earnings call, the chip giant made waves by elevating its 2024 Data Center GPU revenue forecast from over $2 billion to approximately $3.5 billion. This significant shift reflects AMD's strengthening position in the AI space, with the company's AI revenue ramping up faster than anticipated.

While AMD's near-term AI revenue generation might be production-limited, the company's AI products are gaining quick qualification from customers. AMD's MI300 is emerging as a credible alternative to Nvidia's offerings, challenging Nvidia's software dominance with an open-source approach. With Nvidia potentially turning to Intel for advanced packaging, AMD's position as a second source could extend beyond a 20% market share.

AMD Daily Chart

From a technical perspective, AMD exhibits a consolidation pattern, forming a symmetrical triangle. The price has held above the 10EMA, suggesting potential support. If the price moves lower, a target around 163-164, aligned with the 20EMA, could provide a buying opportunity. Conversely, a breakout could signal a bullish trend, setting the stage for a potential new all-time high.

Opting for a cautious strategy, my preference would be to engage in selling put options with a strike price set at 160 or 165, with an expiry window spanning 30-45 days. To refine the timing, I am inclined to wait for the upcoming week, hoping for a scenario where the price retraces while maintaining within the consolidation pattern or above the 164 mark before executing this trade. However, if the price demonstrates a relentless upward trajectory without a meaningful pullback, I may consider forgoing this trade and redirect my focus towards exploring alternative opportunities in the market.

In conclusion, the increased demand for AMD's AI products and its strategic positioning against Nvidia present a compelling case for investors. However, the symmetrical triangle formation indicates a cautious approach, urging investors to monitor price movements closely.
