The price is currently down 17.031% in premarket trading, and looks toward the 50% midpoint of the move up from the April low to the August high at $44.70 as next target (see the chart below). Close resistance (risk) now comes near the $49 level which was recent swing lows where the price based in the month of July. It also represents the broken 38.2% retracement of the move up from the April low.
It would take a move above that $49 level – and stay above – to give the dip buyers some hope. Absent that, and the sellers could push down toward the 50% midpoint level and below that looked toward the rising 100-day moving average at $42.16.

AMD shares are also down sharply in trading premarket. Its shares are down 5.46% at $164.75 despite the beat in earnings and revenues. The price of AMD has risen sharply since the low in July dip at $134.09. The high price last week reached $182.50. So a retracement, makes sense. The traders are now looking toward the 38.2% retracement of the move up from the July low at $163.70. Below that level and rotation toward the midpoint of the same move higher at $158 cannot be ruled out.
