In the daily trading session, OKTA Stock rose 1.74%, but on a weekly basis, the stock downtrend equals a loss of over 6%.
Okta stock filled the remaining gap but could not surpass the 200-day EMA, facing rejection and switching back toward the support. However, the stock price is taking support at its 50 day EMA and is struggling to maintain neutrality; perhaps, the breakdown below the lower neckline of the rising wedge pattern makes the bearish indication that the price will retest lower swings near $70.
If the price sustains on a 50-day EMA and attempts a bounce, it will reach the resistance mark of $85. On the other hand, if the price continues to slip, it could be the beginning of a downtrend.
