NFLX Stock – Candle Exploration
NFLX’s share price might soon cross its all-time high of $458 and enter the GAP zone. However, when the stock previously tried to break a gap zone, it took 190 days, and it can be seen that the price rallied after a breakout. A steep ascending trend line and upward-moving EMA hints at positivity, but the 82.13 value of RSI, getting into the overbought zone, raises concerns.
Only time will tell when the gap zone shall be destroyed, but the price might suffer a little due to buying and bounce off from immediate resistance. Price action can consolidate for a while between the zones until a further trigger for either movement appears.
