Technical Analysis of AVGO Stock Chart

Price movements in May formed an ascending channel (shown in blue).

From a bearish perspective: AVGO stock has risen to the psychological level of $250, which has acted as resistance since December 2024. Additionally, the strong rally in May may motivate some investors to sell previously purchased shares to lock in potential profits.

From a bullish perspective:
→ The price is in the upper half of the channel, which confirms strong demand.
→ A bullish gap highlighted a buyer-favoured imbalance around the $215 level.

Technically, it would be reasonable to expect a corrective move from the $250 resistance deeper into the ascending channel. However, considering the upcoming earnings report—which often triggers volatility—the bulls could attempt to break through the $250 level and set a new all-time high.
