Outage of World Wide Services – Crowdstrike

Hello Traders,
The latest security update from the global cybersecurity giant caused a major service disruption today, Friday. This has affected globally such that companies like Microsoft, various stock exchanges, major banks, media companies, airports and airlines in Asia-Pacific, US and Europe; payment systems, supermarket services, emergency services and 911, etc. have been affected and have had to proceed to rollback the failed update on Windows servers. From the Australian opening to the European opening there have been disruptions in both stock markets. The London Stock Exchange has started its session with delays.

If we look at Crowdstrike's chart we can see how the firm has been climbing positions since October 2023. During this month of July, the firm has been falling to the previous resistance zone in the area of $343.05, it is possible that after today's security debacle its value will be affected at the American opening. Looking at the RSI currently at 35.14% which could lead to another correction and a possible return to the mean from 30% if we follow the technical thinking. The volume bell with a triple bell shape places the most traded area in the $150 zone, so we could anticipate a correction, before the search for new highs.

How far do you think the correction will affect? I look forward to your comments
