AutoZone Rally … In Progress

August 8, 2026 By in 1987, AZO, Wyckoff

Trading Channel, Trend Line

Two weeks ago, was this update:

“Price action’s been hitting and bouncing off support for nearly two months; finally, penetrating and closing below that line, last Thursday.”

With that said, we had the definition of a Wyckoff ‘spring’ set-up.

So, what’s happened since then?

AutoZone AZO, Daily

At this point, the rally’s in-progress (not advice, not a recommendation).

If AZO continues higher from here and maintains the right side trendline, we get to ‘gap closure’ somewhere around August 25th.

For the histrions amongst us, August 25th, was the market high in 1987.

AutoZone (downside) Exhausted?

July 25, 2026 By in AZO 3 Comments

AutoZone, and its massive 200-point gap, have been on the ‘watch list’ for some time.

The last major gap of 67.56-pts was filled in a near-Fibonacci 34 (-2) days.

So, we at least know that it can, and has happened before (not advice, not a recommendation).

AutoZone’s ‘Gap’ Performance

July 18, 2026 By in AZO, Federal Reserve, Interest Rates, Transportation

Probable (gap) Fill

Past performance is no guarantee, but it can tell us what’s probable.

In the case of AutoZone, the last time there was a significant gap lower open, 68-pts, was December 9th, 2025.

The update on January 9th of this year, posed the question, if the gap would be filled.

That gap was indeed filled and brings us to now.

That is, not 68-points, but an eye-watering 201-points.

AutoZone, AZO, Weekly

There are two ways to view the gap:

It’s a ‘breakaway’ gap, implying that AZO is not coming back. Or, it’s a ‘common’ gap, which is typically filled (not advice, not a recommendation).

We’ll throw into the mix, we have an upcoming Fed meeting late this month, link here.

AutoZone … Planning The Short

January 9, 2026 By in AZO, DASH, DASH-26-02, SPOT 6 Comments

Waiting for Probabilities

Looking back through historical data, downward thrust energy for AutoZone this past December 9th, was possibly the largest, ever.

In the case of DoorDash, here, we know for sure, downward thrust energy (November 6th), was the largest ever.

Spotify is also in the ‘largest-ever‘ camp with its record breaking downward thrust energy; posted back on July 29th, last year.

AutoZone AZO, Daily

One might think, it’s not possible for AZO to get back to the wide high-volume bar (not advice, not a recommendation).

Taking a look at DASH, show us, it’s indeed possible.

AutoZone ‘Crash’

December 14, 2025 By in AZO, Wyckoff

Wide, High-Volume Bar

AutoZone’s down -21.48% from all-time highs with -13.78% of that, in just December, alone.

Price action posted a wide, high-volume bar on earnings, that ‘missed’.

What we’re looking for now, is a test of that wide bar; then, to see if AZO rolls over into a (sustained) decline, or if that was the end of the current down move (not advice, not a recommendation).

AutoZone AZO, Daily

At this point, there’s been no follow-through after hitting support which suggests there could be a ‘spring’ attempt.

On a weekly basis (not shown), the downthrust energy Force Index, was the second highest ever, for AZO.

Spotify … A Second Look

December 9, 2025 By in AZO, ORLY, ORLY-25-01, SPOT, SPOT-25-04, Up-Thrust, Wyckoff 2 Comments

New Target(s)

Even as yesterday’s update was being released, SPOT price action started negating the analysis.

So, let’s take another look to see if opportunity lies ahead.

Before getting started, note auto parts (AZO, ORLY) are down hard in today’s session; the potential for which, indicated just two days prior.

Spotify SPOT, Daily

A push above the 603 – 604, puts SPOT in Wyckoff ‘up-thrust’ condition while at the same time, being at the 23.6% retrace level.

When looking at the long-term quarterly chart (not shown), there’s significant resistance at the 615.6 area (not advice, not a recommendation).

Auto Parts … Roll-Over

December 7, 2025 By in AZO, CVNA, ORLY, ORLY-25-01 1 Comment

All-Time Highs, Months Ago

While Carvana’s set for all-time highs on Monday, the opposite side of the sector, auto parts, have already rolled over.

Both AutoZone and O’Reilly reached their peak(s) this past September.

Then, last week, both of them posted an outside-down (reversal) bar.

O’Reilly is the more liquid of the two; we’ll review it first.

O’Reilly Automotive, ORLY, Daily

With a potential downtrend line (dashed blue-line), we’re currently hovering at minor support (dashed grey line).

Fibonacci time correlations are apparent.

As said before, as soon as everyone ‘figures it out’ (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ….), time correlations morph into chaos, or re-appear later (i.e., 55).

Note: Fibonacci 8-Days, between major downward thrusts.
