Over the past month, Asure Software (NASDAQ: ASUR) has seen a nice rebound, which subsequently provided another re-establishment of its uptrend that dates back to the fourth quarter of 2022. According to the stock’s weekly chart, the rebound could still be in the early stages. Furthermore, the company’s recent big news with Amazon.com’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) web services business unit, AWS, and its planned Q2 2023 financial results release slated for August 7th, serve as meaningful catalysts that could provide further bullish support for Asure stock.
What Does the ASUR Chart Show Currently?
Shares of the Austin-based human capital management service provider have rewarded shareholders who have held over the past year, after an impressive run of just under 136%. In 2023, ASUR stock has soared nearly 42% year-to-date thus far, as of this writing.
While Asure’s YTD gains are in-line with the overall Nasdaq’s impressive 42% run in 2023, the tech-heavy index has only returned 26% over the past year. This helps to show Asure’s incredible resilience in 2022, as the overall market, particularly the tech sector, struggled in a bear market.
Asure’s stock saw a needed breather from April 2023 into June 2023, which is completely reasonable considering the run-up the shares saw between October 2022 and the end of March 2023. However, the stock has seen a nice 15% rebound through the past month and while the daily chart does show to be a little top-heavy in the short term, the weekly charts hint that the rebound could still be in the very early innings.
On Asure’s weekly chart, the MACD continues to tighten and forecast a potential bullish crossover on the horizon. Meanwhile, the stochastics momentum indicator previously saw a bullish crossover in early July and currently stands at around a reading of 40. This shows us that Asure shares are still closer to the oversold region than the overbought area.
