Semiconductors showed signs of stalling last week, and Advanced Micro Devices might have confirmed a potentially bearish pattern.

Today’s chart highlights the big price swing on March 8, which featured a record high and then a close below the previous session's lows. The resulting candle was both a “shooting star” and a bearish engulfing bar.

AMD proceeded to remain below that candle all of yesterday. That may confirm the potentially bearish patterns.

Next, stochastics are dipping from an overbought condition.

Third, AMD was 66 percent above its 200-day simple moving average last week. (See our “Distance from MA” custom script in the lower study.) That was the highest reading since September 2020. Is a pause needed after such a move?

Finally, traders may watch two previous weekly lows for potential support: $172.49 from February 27 and $161.81 from February 21.
