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 (-2.35% over 10 days); RSI 15 — oversold; weak 1-year return of -33.9%; 3-month momentum negative (-15.6%). Currently 40.1% off its 52-week high. Score: -7/7.
NFLX is trading below its 200-day MA ($99.21) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 14.6 has dropped into oversold territory, which has historically preceded short-term bounces. The 1-year return of -33.9% compares to +22.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 56.7%). The current 40.1% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
