I'm as far as I can go with AMZN, the position is filled out and it's right about here at an average of $269.09.
Here's why I like AMZN (Short) here...
This is a substantial trend, it's not going to just roll without some decent top in my view... (weekly chart)
Here's the daily chart, I'd say from the looks of 3C and a custom cumulative volume indicator, this looks a lot like the head of a H&S top. When playing an H&S top, I either want in near the top of the head or after the break of the neckline and a shakeout of the initial shorts that jumped in which would be a ways off still if the pattern were symmetrical, a stop can be put not too far above the recent highs and can certainly be positioned sized for a 2% portfolio loss or even 1% if you take on fewer shares.
Here's where we are now on a daily vs where a stop might be placed, that's only about 7% with a stop at $290, you should be able to have a decent size position (although I prefer to stay around 15% of portfolio on the overall max position size) and still hold a -2% of portfolio risk plan.
The bigger picture 2 hour 3C chart shows some accumulation to the far left, what looks to be a run from the neck line to the top of the head. As you can see, there's a substantial negative divergence.
There are a lot of charts in between, but looking at today's and recent intraday action, it looks like this is a negative divergence and likely a reasonable area to assume to be the top of a head. I think the risk / reward here is favorable as long as you use decent risk management.
Is interest rates about to start going up?

Yes, I know - it does not make any sense - FED is about to cut
rates...but....real world interest rates are not always what FED wants it
to be.
