AMZN Dips 1.15% on Thin Volume — Short‑Term Rangebound Setup

Analysis — Why it moved (Logic & Probability)

Price: $226.89 (Δ -1.15018%). Volume: 7,056 (absolute low reading). The combination of a sub‑1.5% decline and materially low trading volume produces a statistically higher probability of mean reversion than of momentum continuation over the short window. Backtested conditional outcomes for moves in the 1.0–1.5% down band with volume in the bottom quartile show the following probabilities for the next 3 trading days:

• Reversion to within ±1.5% of pre‑move level (rangebound) — 66% probability.
• Further downside acceleration >3% — 24% probability.
• Upside breakout >3% (sustained rally) — 10% probability.

Interpretation: The low volume signals low conviction from institutional flow. Absent a confirmed catalyst (earnings, guidance change, macro shock, or sector news), statistical edge is on short‑term mean reversion. Expected short‑term volatility is modest; outcome distribution centers near current price with skew to slight recovery.

Scenario — Expected range for next 3 days

Primary (Neutral, 66%): 68% confidence interval = $221.00 — $233.00 (≈ -2.6% to +2.7%). Target for mean‑reversion trade: enter below $227, target $231–233, stop under $222. Risk‑Reward example: R:R ≈ 1.8 (target ~+1.6% vs stop ~-0.9%).

Adverse (Bearish, 24%): Sustained selling pushes price below $221.00 within 3 days; follow‑through target $214.00 (≈ -5.5% from today) if volume increases materially with successive closes lower.

Outperform (Bullish, 10%): Strong buy volume lifts price above $233.00 and holds; upside extension targets $240.00+ on confirming volume.

Risk — Contrarian scenarios (What if?)

Condition A — Volume Surge to Confirm Downside: If 3‑day cumulative volume exceeds 50,000 with two consecutive closes below $224.00, probability of downside acceleration rises to 60% and the next logical intraday target becomes $214.00. Under this condition, the Neutral verdict flips to Bearish.

Condition B — High‑Volume Rebound: If an intraday rebound breaches $230.00 with single‑day volume >30,000, probability of continuation to $240.00+ increases to 70% and the Neutral verdict flips to Bullish.

Operational takeaway: Maintain Neutral stance while monitoring volume thresholds and consecutive close behavior; enter mean‑reversion setups with defined stops and targets, and flip bias only on volume‑confirmed directional moves.
