Broadcom (AVGO): Overextended Rally Signals Near-term Pullback Opportunity

Long-Term Trend: The chart data (spanning from Jan to mid-May 2025) shows that AVGO experienced a significant downtrend from late January to early April, with the stock falling from $240+ to a low of ~$140, before entering a strong recovery up to current levels ($228.61).
Recent Trend: Since mid-April, the price has rebounded from lows in the $140s–$160s, and sustained a rather sharp V-shaped recovery. After peaking around $235 in mid-May, the price has slightly pulled back but remains near the recent highs.

Strong Support: $220 (mid-May higher lows and prior resistance zone)
Key Short-term Resistance: $234–$236 (recent highs from 5/13–5/15)
Additional Resistance: $240 (major psychological and technical mark, last seen in January)

Volume Surge: Volume notably spiked during panic lows in early April and again during the most recent run-up from $170s–$230s, confirming strong buying participation.
Momentum: RSI calculated from the recent recovery leg would likely be entering the overbought territory (>70) given the sharp, multi-week rally. However, the slight pullback seen over the last two sessions may help diffuse short-term overbought conditions.

50-period MA: Likely rising and sitting just below the current price, providing dynamic support in the $210–$220 region.
200-period MA: Would be lagging, possibly around the $190–$200 zone after the previous correction.
Golden Cross: The rapid cross above the 50 and 200 MA (executed mid-May) is bullish—a classic trend reversal confirmation.

38.2% Retracement: ~$187 (already broken up in late April)
50% Retracement: ~$195
61.8% Retracement: ~$210 (recently broken and acting as springboard)
78.6% Retracement: ~$228–$230 (currently being tested; holding above it is bullish, rejection suggests short-term consolidation)

Recent Candlesticks:
- 5/13 to 5/15: Small real bodies on high volume indicate indecision near local highs, suggesting possible stalling and minor pullback before the next leg or a deeper retracement.
- 5/16: Larger red real body shows rejection at $233–$234; signals possible further downside to test support.

RSI (Daily): High, likely 70–80, indicating overbought, cautioning against immediate aggressive long entry.
MACD: Histogram likely positive, lines diverging—upward momentum persists, but recent flattening hints at waning momentum.
Stochastic: Would likely be overbought and potentially rolling over, confirming a pause/correction is likely imminent.

Price is at/above the upper band (past week), reinforcing an overextended near-term situation. The most recent close at $228.61 is at the top of the band; a mean reversion towards the 20-day MA/Band midpoint ($215–$220) is probable.

The sharp rally from April can be interpreted as a 3rd impulse wave; we might be at the peak of wave 3, suggesting a corrective wave 4 is imminent—i.e., short-term weakness or a sideways consolidation.

High-Volume Nodes: $190–$210 (lots of trading in April–May—good support zone)
Low-Volume Nodes: $230–$240 (very quick move, less acceptance; could lead to fast reversions both ways)

All momentum indicators are flashing short-term caution (overbought), with price stretched well above the most recent support. Although the medium-term trend has reversed to up, tactical caution is warranted after such a strong run.
Candlestick patterns and the stalling/pullback near $233–$234 point to a likely short-term retracement.

Short-term (next 24–48 hours): High probability of profit-taking, with price likely to mean-revert to lower support at $220–$222. Momentum exhaustion and the recent rejection suggest a short trade is favored.
Medium-term (1–2 weeks): Expect consolidation between $218–$234 before next major directional move. Renewed buying into the $218–$220 zone could present the next major long opportunity.
