Dow Jones E-Commerce Giant Amazon, Spotify Stock In Or Near Buy Zones

Blockhead
Aug 20

As the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other stock indexes move lower Tuesday, e-commerce giant Amazon (AMZN), Spotify Technology (SPOT), Blackstone (BX), and Comfort Systems (FIX) are among the best names to watch in the current stock market.

With key stock indexes sticking close to their highs, investors should still be looking for new breakouts using The IBD Methodology. It's also important to raise and lower exposure methodically, as those positions gain or lose momentum.

Among the best-performing stocks in the Dow Jones index, Amazon stock is rebounding bullishly from its 50-day moving average line, placing it in a new buying area, according to MarketSurge chart analysis. Shares dropped along with the Nasdaq composite during Tuesday's trade. Amazon stock lost 1.5% midday.

Amazon stock backstory: The recent gains for Amazon stock come as Wall Street analysts are offering mostly positive takes on the company's grocery expansion plans. Amazon said last week it will soon offer same-day delivery of perishables in 2,300 U.S. cities and towns by the end of the year. Amazon previously only offered perishable items through its Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh brands. Now they will be available on the much larger Amazon.com, with the option to add fresh grocery items to standard orders.
