Has Netflix Finally Peaked?

Seven out of eight companies have beaten estimates this earnings season, but Netflix isn't one of them. It raises an important question: Has the streaming giant finally hit a long-term peak?

The first potentially bearish pattern on this chart is the falling trendline that began in mid-January. (Yes, NFLX hasn’t made a new 52-week high in 135 sessions. The S&P 500 made 11 new highs last month alone.)

Next, notice how prices have slipped back under the 50- and 200-day simple moving averages (SMA). That suggests its early-June “death cross” remains in effect.

Third, consider last week’s tight inside candle, followed by more selling this week:

Next is the rising trendline that began in late May. A break of that line could increase selling pressure.

Below the current range, traders may watch the May double-bottom around $478.50. Under that level, longer-term holders may start to defect.
