Netflix will release its earnings report for Q4 on Thursday, after Wall Street’s closing bell. Beyond the actual earnings numbers, markets will also dissect the firm’s subscriber growth to gauge its future prospects. The management’s guidance on that subject, as well as their expectations around revenues following the latest hike in monthly subscription charges, will be crucial for the stock’s reaction too. The subscription-based streaming provider is anticipated to have made $0.24 in earnings per share (EPS) during the final [..]

The price touched the 26.75, a one-month high, and the upper Bollinger Band in Tuesday’s trading period. The technical indicators are still located in bullish area in the daily chart, with the RSI stretching further above its neutral threshold of 50 while the stochastic oscillator posted a bearish crossover within its %K and %D lines. Yet the latter could [..]

Technical Analysis – JPMorgan stock advances in near term; indicators signal bearish actions

Posted on January 15, 2019 at 9:07 am GMT

The JPMorgan stock price is continuing last month’s rebound on the 16-month low of 91.07, touching the 101.45 resistance level. However, looking at the technical indicators, they suggest bearish actions as the price opened with a gap down in the previous sessions. The stochastic oscillator is moving lower below the overbought level, while the ROC is pointing down above the zero line. The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the downleg from 119.18 to 91.07, around 101.81 could be a trigger [..]

Posted on January 14, 2019 at 2:14 pm GMT

The Alcoa stock price dipped to a new two-year low of 24.98 on December 26 and it is currently hovering slightly above this level. The price remains below the medium-term descending trend line, which has been holding since April 19 but stands within 20- and 40-simple moving averages (SMAs) in the daily timeframe. However, technically, the RSI indicator keeps moving lower below the 50 level, while the %K line of the stochastic oscillator printed a bearish crossover with the %D line in the [..]

Technical Analysis – Goldman Sachs bulls back in play after reaching 2½-year low

Posted on January 8, 2019 at 1:56 pm GMT

Goldman Sachs stock price has been trading upwards over the last couple of weeks after the rebound on the 151.50 support level. The short-term technical indicators are endorsing the upside view. In the daily timeframe, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is sloping upwards approaching the threshold of 50, while the MACD oscillator holds above its red-trigger line in the negative area, suggesting more strength in the market. Upsides moves are likely to find resistance at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the downleg from [..]

Technical Analysis – Apple stays above 18-month bottom; ‘death cross’ in play

Posted on January 3, 2019 at 12:55 pm GMT

The Apple stock rebounded on the 18-month low of 146.50 that was reached on December 26. The technical indicators are endorsing the recent upside view with the RSI holding in the bearish zone, sloping slightly up, and the MACD is strengthening its positive momentum above the trigger line. However, at the end of the previous month, the 50-simple moving average (SMA) posted a ‘death cross’ with the 200-SMA in the daily timeframe. In case of a climb above the 160.40 resistance level, the price [..]

Technical Analysis – Facebook rebound on 22-month low; positive risks not faded yet

Posted on December 19, 2018 at 1:01 pm GMT

Facebook’s stock price rebounded on the 22-month low of 128.30, reached on November 20. Currently, the stock is challenging the 50-simple moving average (SMA) in the daily timeframe, making it hesitant to move even higher. Short-term oscillators suggest the current rebound may continue in the immediate term. The RSI is detecting upside momentum, while the MACD is approaching the zero line, weakening the negative movement. Further recovery in the stock may encounter immediate resistance near the 147.00 zone, marked by the latest highs in the prior week. [..]

Technical Analysis – Intel stock stabilizes after sharp drop; neutral in short-run

Posted on December 14, 2018 at 12:49 pm GMT

Intel’s stock fell sharply after touching an 18-year high of 57.57 in early June, before finding support around 42.30, a low last seen in February, and subsequently rebounding somewhat. However, given that the stock recently posted a higher high of 50.50, and price action is taking place above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA), the near-term outlook seems neutral. Momentum oscillators concur. The RSI is pointing up but is only marginally above its neutral 50 zone. Meanwhile, the MACD is [..]

Posted on December 13, 2018 at 1:43 pm GMT

Coca-Cola stock price hit an all-time high of 50.74 last month before stabilizing slightly lower and is set to finish higher by 7.0% in the year. Yet, with the 20-day simple moving average losing steam, the upward pattern might not extend further, while momentum indicators are also not as positive as before, pointing to weaker trading sessions in the near term; the MACD keeps falling below its red signal line and towards zero, whilst the RSI has reversed back to the downside [..]
