Walt Disney has lagged the broader market this year, and now traders may see risk of further downside with earnings due on August 9.

The main pattern on today’s chart is the succession of lower highs in May, June and July. Combined with the late-May low around $87, those peaks have created a descending triangle. The media stock closed below the bottom yesterday, a potential sign of support breaking.

Next, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) tried to climb above the 200-day SMA in March. But that bullish “golden cross” turned into a bearish “death cross” the following month. That may suggest its longer-term down trend remains in effect.

Finally, MACD just turned lower.
