Today, Netflix's (NFLX) price plunged below the Head & Shoulders neckline, with a pronounced downward move. This breach substantially elevates the likelihood of an extended bearish phase, potentially materializing as a significant sell-off leading into the forthcoming fall season.
Projections indicate a retracement towards the 0.5 Fib Extension level, where the price could test support at the mean price of $323.87. This mean price represents the average of the comprehensive bull run, which initiated from the May 2022 low of $162.73 and culminated at a peak of $485, the recent July 2023 top. However, the price could find support at the bottom parallel of the uptrend channel around $370 first before reaching the mean average price target.

Additionally, credit usage, debt levels, and debt interest amounts are all increasing at a faster pace as we progress under these economic conditions.
