Bottom line

NFLX Technical Analysis Summary

NFLX is trading in a clear downtrend on the daily chart, with price at 73.53 below all key moving averages. Both daily RSI at 38.89 and weekly RSI at 33.60 are approaching oversold territory. The daily MACD histogram has turned positive at 0.42, which could signal early momentum stabilization. However, the weekly MACD histogram remains negative at -1.23, and the weekly price at 73.37 is compressing toward the critical SMA200 support at 70.52. The stock is testing the 52-week low zone between 70.86 and 70.52. A breakdown below this area would confirm structural deterioration, while a reversal from this level could mark a significant bottom.

Daily (July 14, 2026)

Trend
Bearish. Price at 73.53 is below SMA20 (74.90), SMA50 (81.64), and SMA200 (94.47). The SMA20 is below SMA50, and both are well below the declining SMA200, confirming a sustained downtrend. The SMA200 at 94.47 has been sloping downward since late 2024.
Momentum
Weak but stabilizing. RSI14 at 38.89 is in bearish territory but not yet oversold below 30. MACD at -2.18 with signal at -2.60 and a positive histogram of 0.42 indicates the bearish momentum may be decelerating, though the MACD line remains negative.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 2.41 (3.28% of price) reflects typical daily movement for NFLX. Bollinger Bands (69.68 to 80.12) have narrowed modestly as price approaches the lower band, reflecting selling pressure.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 33,306,968 is 66.7% of the 20-period average (49,963,868), suggesting the selling may be exhausting rather than accelerating.

Assessment

The daily chart shows NFLX in a persistent downtrend with price below all SMAs. The positive MACD histogram is a potential early signal of momentum stabilization, and the below-average volume could indicate waning selling pressure. However, price has not yet formed a confirmed reversal pattern. The 20-day low at 70.86 is the immediate support. A daily close above SMA20 (74.90) would be the first sign of trend improvement.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Bearish leaning with one structural defense. Price at 73.37 is below SMA20 (88.66) and SMA50 (98.69), but remains above SMA200 (70.52). The SMA200 has been flat to slightly declining over the past year. The SMA20 has been below SMA50 since mid-2025, confirming the intermediate-term downtrend. The 252-week return of +22.54% reflects the long-term uptrend that brought the stock from pandemic-era levels, but the 60-week return of -38.42% shows the scale of the recent decline.
Momentum
Bearish. RSI14 at 33.60 is in oversold territory (below 35). MACD at -5.90 with signal at -4.67 and a negative histogram of -1.23 confirms the bearish momentum persists on the weekly scale, though the histogram is not expanding rapidly.
Volatility
Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 6.22 (8.48% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges consistent with a stock undergoing significant price discovery. Bollinger Bands (71.49 to 105.82) have widened as volatility expanded during the decline.
Volume
Near average. Weekly volume of 195,707,000 is 92.9% of the 20-week average (210,765,470), close to normal participation levels.

Assessment

The weekly chart reveals a stock under sustained selling pressure with RSI in oversold territory. The key structural support is the SMA200 at 70.52. A weekly close below 70.52 would break the last major line of defense and suggest the long-term trend has turned bearish. Oversold conditions on the weekly chart have historically preceded periods of stabilization, but the negative MACD histogram provides no confirmation of a bottom yet.
