, founder of TradingAnalysis.com, said the name now faces a critical test that, if it passes, could produce an explosive rally.
"If we go all the way back here to 2000 and we just throw up a trend line across the top we can see that we've intersected this line and we have two formation points" in 2000 and 2006, Gordon told CNBC's "" on Tuesday. "It looks like we're trying to get that head of steam to eventually break up through the $35 to $40 region and when we break, it should be pretty spectacular.
AMD needs to rally another 20% to touch $35, a level that corresponds with the long-term trend line. The stock has not traded above $35 since April 2006. "This is an almost 20-year trend resistance. I like the formation here, near term just around the $30 region. We've been fairly quiet here in April and May, through this pretty good period of volatility in the overall market," Gordon said.
To take advantage of an expected breakout, Gordon is buying the July 19 expiration 30/34 call option spread for roughly 98 cents. This is a bet that AMD can move as high as $34 before expiration, or 17% upside from current levels.
