Momentum May Be Turning Against This Streaming Giant

[Trading With Larry Benedict]( Momentum May Be Turning Against This Streaming Giant By Larry Benedict, editor, Trading With Larry Benedict Netflix (NFLX) rallied 135% off its 2022 lows. But it went through a major pullback in early February. After dropping 25%, NFLX surged again but topped out at a lower high. These moves were at the start of a converging triangle pattern (orange lines in the chart below) when we looked at NFLX back [on May 11]( (red arrow). When a stock breaks out of this pattern, it can move strongly in either direction. So we needed to watch momentum to determine which direction it would move. In the end, rising momentum saw NFLX break higher out of the triangle and rally strongly. Now that rally has taken NFLX into overbought territory. And today, I want to see how things might play out from here… Recommended Link [The “Amazon Secret Royalty Program” Can Help Anyone Retire Like Royalty]( [image]( A unique type of investment could help you make more money than you will need for the rest of your life. It’s what we call the “Amazon secret royalty program.” It’s an income stream that allows you to collect $1,000s… $10,000s… or more every year! In fact, Business Insider says this type of investment could provide “enough money to live off of each year, without having any other retirement plan...” “Royalties” are the most exciting investments in history. Put simply, they’re periodic payouts… That could deliver all the money you need for your retirement… While these “royalties” are different from traditional royalties, just one could hand you enough income to live life on your own terms. And it only takes a few minutes to set up. [Learn how to collect your first payout before September 10th.]( -- A Triangle Pattern The chart below shows the 50-day Moving Average (MA, blue line) with NFLX’s steady uptrend after it bottomed out in May last year. The 10-day MA breaking above the 50-day MA confirmed that rally. Apart from a couple of minor crossovers, that’s where the 10-day MA remained until NFLX’s pullback in February… Netflix (NFLX) [Image] Source: eSignal Throughout NFLX’s up-move, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also bullishly remained in the upper half of its range (above the green line). Then NFLX’s rally ended and retraced from “A” to “B” as the RSI reversed from overbought to oversold territory. NFLX’s converging triangle then began to develop from “C” through “E” as the two MAs increasingly tracked more closely together. And notice the action of the RSI… The swings in the RSI (momentum) became smaller. That caused the RSI to track right along the top of support/resistance (green line). Take another look: Netflix (NFLX) [Image] Source: eSignal This reflects increasing fatigue for both buyers and sellers, leading to them abandoning their positions earlier. The RSI then broke decisively higher in its upper range. And NFLX likewise broke out higher from its triangle and rallied. The strength of that move saw NFLX gain 35% in just over a month. Adding to the bullish sentiment, the 10-day MA also accelerated above the 50-day MA. That buying momentum’s strength has pushed NFLX to its highest level since January 2022. But it also moved the RSI into overbought territory (red circle). So what am I looking for around here? Free Trading Resources Have you checked out Larry's free trading resources on his website?

Gathering Momentum The RSI has recently made an inverse ‘V’ and is now tracking back down to the overbought line. Although it’s still early days, if the RSI continues lower toward support, then NFLX’s pullback should gather momentum. Such a move could soon see NFLX back around $410. For any down move beyond that, we’ll need to see the RSI break back into the lower half of its band. I’ll be watching our two MAs too. As I mentioned, the 10-day MA has been accelerating strongly above the 50-day MA. If this reverses and the 10-day MA moves lower, then that would add weight to any emerging down move.
