Price Declines To The $50 Level 

CSCO stock price has been stuck in a wide consolidation zone ranging between $45.60 and $52.40. The stock price gained bullish momentum after touching the support level of $45.60 during mid January. This move resulted in a significant high point at $52.56, but unfortunately, the price faced strong resistance at this level, causing a subsequent decline. Eventually, the price retreated further, reaching a low of $45.60.

Recently, the stock price regained bullish momentum and started to rise toward the resistance level of $52.40 which was due to positive earnings reported by the company. Cisco systems beat the consensus estimates of revenue and earnings per share, which ignited a bullish rally. 

A new support was formed at $49.50, which helped price in crossing the hurdle of $50. The stock price tried to rise above the annual high but again received strong rejection from the $52.40 level. Currently, price has been experiencing a bearish momentum since Friday. The rejection has caused a downfall of roughly -2.87%. 

If bears can push the price below the $49.50 support level, there is a high probability that it might melt down to the next support level of $47.80. On the other hand, if price can form a support and gain bullish momentum to shatter the annual high, there is a possibility that it might rise toward $57. The consolidation is going on for quite long which indicates that the breakout would be much stronger.
