Netflix Stock Price Analysis

In the past few weeks, Netflix stock price (NASDAQ: NFLX) saw a major increase. It broke many hurdles to start a strong rally above $500. The bulls even pumped it above $600 before the bears appeared.

Recently, Netflix posted its first-quarter earnings report. The company registered $9.4 billion in first-quarter revenues (well above consensus analyst estimates).

Looking at the daily chart, the price started a downside correction from the $635 resistance. There was a move below the $600 support and a key bullish trend line with support at $610. The bears pushed the price below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $345 swing low to the $637 high.

If the bulls struggle near $550, Netflix’s stock price might start a substantial downside correction. The first major support sits near the $525 level.

The next key support is at $490 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $345 swing low to the $637 high, below which there could be a steady decline toward the $450 level.

Conversely, the price could start another increase. Immediate resistance could be $580. The next major resistance is $593. A clear move above the trend line, $593, and then $600 could start a strong bullish wave. In the stated case, the price could surge toward the $635 and $650 levels in the coming weeks.
