Netflix has been trading sideways for the past year. In the daily chart, we can see that after a rally from 80 up to about 112, price has fallen into a consolidation pattern. NFLX Daily Chart 8/8(click to enlarge)Bearish bias:- It should be noted that even though the market was consolidating for a year or so, there is some bearish bias.- The late 2015, early 2016 dip from 133 to 80 set the bearish tone. - Price failing to climb back above 112 also suggested bearish bias. - Now, price is holding under the 200-, 100-, and 50-day simple moving averages (SMAs). - Price is starting to hold under a psychological level of 100. - Since June, the RSI has tagged 30 and has held under 60.Bullish attempt:- The noted bearish bias is in the medium-term.- In the short-term, since mid-July, NFLX has been bullish.- It is now testing a consolidation pattern resistance.- But , a break above won't tell us that much other than a short-term bullish outlook.- The targets will be T1: 100, T2: 104, T3: 112Bearish scenario:- Let's see how the market treats this resistance here around 97.00. - A hold below 97.00 will reflect failure of the bull run. - If price falls back below 94.50, I would say bears are back in control.- Then, a return below 92 will confirm a bearish continuation scenario for me, which has the 84.00 handle, and then the 80.00 low in sight.
