Bottom line

NFLX Technical Analysis Summary

NFLX bounced 2.26% on the latest completed session to close at 73.33, back above the daily SMA20 at 72.17. The daily RSI at 49.82 has recovered from oversold into neutral territory and the daily MACD histogram is positive at 0.67, pointing to decelerating downside momentum. However, price remains below the SMA50 at 76.82 and the SMA200 at 91.06, so the intermediate downtrend is not resolved. The weekly chart is the key: price at 71.71 is sitting almost exactly on the weekly SMA200 at 71.22, with weekly RSI at 34.70 near oversold and a still negative weekly MACD histogram at -1.15. A weekly close below 71.22 would open the path toward the 52-week low at 65.08, while a reclaim of the SMA50 at 76.82 would be the first signal that the recovery is building a base.

Daily (August 3, 2026)

Trend
Mixed but stabilizing. Price at 73.33 is above SMA20 (72.17) after a 2.26% bounce, but remains below SMA50 (76.82) and SMA200 (91.06). The SMA20 has been below the SMA50 since the intermediate decline, and both remain below the declining SMA200, so the dominant trend is still down. The reclaim of SMA20 is the first constructive sign, though not yet a trend change.
Momentum
Neutral to improving. RSI14 at 49.82 has recovered from the oversold zone to neutral. MACD at -1.25 is still below zero but above the signal line at -1.92, with a positive histogram of 0.67 that shows bearish momentum decelerating. The MACD line remains negative, so momentum is recovering rather than confirmed bullish.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 2.55 (3.48% of price) reflects normal daily range. Bollinger Bands (67.04 to 77.30) show price reclaiming the middle band at 72.17 after dipping toward the lower band during the late-July low.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 33,868,600 is 69.8% of the 20-period average (48,511,175), suggesting the bounce is happening on lighter participation, which limits conviction until volume expands.

Assessment

The daily chart shows a short-term recovery in progress. Price is back above SMA20, RSI has normalized, and the positive MACD histogram supports a stabilization story. The unresolved piece is the intermediate trend, with SMA50 at 76.82 and SMA200 at 91.06 overhead. A daily close above 76.82 on above-average volume would meaningfully improve the outlook, while the 20-day and 52-week low at 65.08 remains the key downside reference.

Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)

Trend
Bearish leaning with one structural defense. Price at 71.71 is below SMA20 (84.67) and SMA50 (95.69), but remains just above SMA200 (71.22). The SMA200 has been flattening while the SMA20 and SMA50 decline, confirming the intermediate downtrend. The 252-week return of +16.95% reflects the longer-term uptrend, while the 60-week return of -42.24% shows the scale of the recent decline.
Momentum
Bearish but close to oversold. RSI14 at 34.70 is approaching oversold territory. MACD at -6.83 with signal at -5.68 and a negative histogram of -1.15 confirms bearish momentum persists on the weekly scale, with no sign yet of a momentum bottom.
Volatility
Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 6.16 (8.59% of price) reflects wide weekly ranges during the decline. Bollinger Bands (64.84 to 104.50) are wide, and price is trading near the lower band, consistent with a stock under persistent selling pressure.
Volume
Slightly above average. Weekly volume of 220,097,100 is 107.4% of the 20-week average (204,995,615), showing continued participation in the down move rather than exhaustion.

Assessment

The weekly chart is the decisive frame. Price is testing the long-term SMA200 at 71.22, the last major line of defense. A weekly close below 71.22 would confirm structural deterioration and likely expose the 65.08 low zone. Weekly RSI near oversold suggests a bounce is possible, but the negative MACD histogram provides no confirmation of a bottom, and above-average volume in the down week argues against calling an early reversal.
