Netflix Crashes After Missing Its Own Subscribers Growth Target

After spending most of 2019 trading between 340 and 380, Netflix is trading under 320 after their latest earnings report. The area near 320 has major pivotal importance and I suspect there will be a war around that level tomorrow morning. The bulls will try to hold it and potentially push the stock towards NFLX’s 200-day moving average which is around 340. $340 is now very likely to act as resistance and it would be a good spot to initiate a short for a quick trade. 

If $317-318 is lost, the next major area of potential support is 300.

The large-cap stock indexes, SPY and QQQ keep making new all-time highs. The small-caps are laughing behind but IWM is certainly looking for constructive above its rising 20 and 50-day moving average.

With the exception of China and biotech, all sectors are looking strong and breaking higher – consumer discretionary, financials, transportation, tech, gold, etc. Strong market breadth coupled with rising long-term inflation expectations and a Fed willing to cut short-term interest rates is a bullish combination.

The new earnings season kicks off tomorrow. Financials are typically first to report. Many of them have already started to break higher in expectations of strong results.
