🔴
Bearish
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-1.52% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -34.0%; 3-month momentum negative (-10.2%). Currently 37.2% off its 52-week high. Score: -4/7.
NFLX is trading below its 200-day MA ($88.42) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 68.3 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -34.0% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 54.5%). The current 37.2% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
