Bearish
Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-1.78% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -34.3%; 3-month momentum negative (-16.4%). Currently 38.7% off its 52-week high. Score: -6/7.
NFLX is trading below its 200-day MA ($100.21) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 32.5 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -34.3% compares to +24.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 58.6%). The current 38.7% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
