- 1 Netflix stock price slumped more than 6% in the last three intraday sessions.
- 2 Netflix share (NASDAQ: NFLX) price failed to sustain above the 200-day EMA and slid lower after a short pullback.
- 3 Netflix Inc. is yet to announce its third quarterly results on Wednesday, 18th October.
Netflix Inc. stock price witnessed selling pressure after it failed to break above the $450 level in the first week of September. Since then, the NFLX stock price has been in a short-term declining trend and has slipped below the 50-day EMA. Recently, the stock price tried to hold near the 200-day EMA but heavy selling pressure from the upper levels could not hold more and the NFLX stock price declined.
The price trend analysis illustrates that the NFLX stock price persisted in a long-term bullish trend in the last three quarters and maintained above the key EMAs most of the time. The stock price is currently nearing a round level of $350 which may act as a major support and the price may gather some buyers soon.
Moreover, Netflix Inc. is yet to announce quarterly results on Wednesday, 18th October, which might affect the price trend. The pre-results sentiments are pessimistic as the stock price has slipped lower. The Wall Street analysts are expecting a revenue of $8.5 Billion and expecting the earnings to be $3.48 Billion.
The price prediction as per the analysts states that the NFLX stock persists in a long-term bullishness. It is currently experiencing a short-term correction. The short-term trend needs to align with the long-term trend to resume the trend.
Talking precisely about the levels, the breakout above the $386 may tilt the short-term trends in the bulls’ favor and the stock price may show hikes to break above the $400 level. On the other hand, the breakdown below the $350 level may trigger a long unwinding and the price might show a sharp decline to the lower support levels.

The at-the-money strike price has 2,686 open contracts on the PUT side and 3,68 open contracts on the CALL side indicating the dominance of bulls at the CMP.
