Technical Analysis – Netflix stock retreats somewhat ahead of earnings release
- Netflix remains in a bullish mode in long-term view
- MACD and RSI lose steam
Netflix stock is set to release its earnings on October 17 while the price added more than 25% following the rebound from the 590 support level, taking the market towards a fresh high of 734. Currently, the price is retreating, meeting the 20-day simple moving average (SMA) at 710.
From a technical perspective, the MACD oscillator is losing some momentum, dropping beneath its trigger line above the zero level. Also, the RSI indicator is heading south above the neutral threshold of 50. Both currently confirm the recent downfall in the stock price.
Moving lower, the market may test the previous bottom of 695 ahead of the 50-day SMA at 685. Below that, traders may halt bearish actions near the 660 support level before challenging the 200-day SMA at 622, which lies near the long-term uptrend line.
In the positive scenario, a successful rise above the all-time high of 734 would take traders to the 161.8% Fibonacci extension level of the latest drop from 695 to 586 at 734. Above this area, traders may keep a close eye on the round number of 800.
In summary, Netflix's stock has been trending upwards since June 2022, exhibiting no significant declines that would change the broader bullish outlook.
