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 (-2.94% over 10 days); RSI 73 — overbought, elevated pullback risk; weak 1-year return of -36.5%; 3-month momentum negative (-10.2%). Currently 38.3% off its 52-week high. Score: -5/7.
NFLX is trading below its 200-day MA ($89.20) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 72.9, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -36.5% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 56.9%). The current 38.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
