🔵
Neutral
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); 50-day MA is rising (+4.30% over 10 days); RSI 57 — healthy momentum range; 3-month momentum positive (+10.6%). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend). Currently 27.4% off its 52-week high. Score: +2/7.
NFLX is trading below its 200-day MA ($105.88) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 57.1 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +1.2% compares to +35.1% for SPY (trailed the market by 33.9%). The current 27.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
