Netflix At Technical SupportSo much talk about $NFLX. Lot of people see it going to 100, others are considering buying some shares.
They have some really good documentaries, they are going to stay here and more importantly, people will continue to use it. Not accounting Russia, and they would be up 500k on subs!!
From an Elliott wave perspective, we see five waves down headed into technical support so there can be some rally coming, especially after massive long liquidations and margin calls.
BTW, I am not long, but I am watching it and I could consider some long-term longs at 80-120 area.
Netflix
NFLX: it was a good movie!The earnings season continues in the U.S. stock market. Netflix (NFLX) is down by 35% on a negative quarterly report. Netflix lost 200,000 subscribers in Q1.
Subscriber growth stopped for the first time in 10 years! The company acknowledged that it was becoming harder and harder to grow its subscriber base in many markets. Also, the termination of streaming platforms in russia could have affected this. Closest competitor and streaming giant Disney (DIS) fell by 5.56% after the Netflix report.
Fundamental analysis. Globally, we can already say that against the background of geopolitical instability, rising prices for energy and high inflation - user growth is not expected, because consumers will spend more money on basic products (food, real estate) than on additional luxury products.
Also, the lockdown in China, as one of the world's leading manufacturers, does not help market to grow and the negative news about the worsening economic indicator does not inspire optimism at all. Chinese developer Evergrande is just the beginning of the chain.
Chart analysis. On the chart we marked the accumulation and distribution zones. The trigger for Netflix's price rise was the HYPE (according to G.Trends data) around the newsmaker of the 2021 TV series Squid Game. The hype helped the big player sell stocks even faster.
The low liquidity areas were a great support for the price. Note the increased volume of the first bottom. This is where traders and investors opened longs, expecting this to be the end of the fall. The second bottom liquidated traders who use any leverage, and the panic sell-offs now will only help the big player to buy more.
The liquidity gaps areas:
1. $188-226
2. $389-422
Technically, these levels could give a good clue about the direction of the trend in the future.
Right now the price is down by 73% from the ATH. Here the accumulation phase may begin again in the $200-350 range.
Write in your comments, did the Squid Game HYPE accidentally become a NFLX highs (ATH)?
Friends, press the "like" button, write comments and share with your friends - it will be the best THANK YOU.
P.S. Personally, I open an entry if the price shows it according to my strategy.
Always do your analysis before making a trade.
Netflex Montly view. Here we can see Netflix is regularly LL even in monthly TF its very low.
As we can see In in June 2011 to Dec 2011 Market crash 70 to 80% then its conver now we are expecting the same sitautuion near its 0.786%% retracement level and total fall of 74% we will see Netflix at 1000$ in comming 2 to 5 years.
NFLX: Bill Ackman and knowing when to quitBy now, if you haven't heard about Netflix's results then you've surely been living under a rock!
The key driver of the price decline was the first decline in subscribers in 10 years in Q1...
-200k
But the real story here isn't Netflix's decline, but the way a one Bill Ackman has responded to the price decline.
If you don't know Bill Ackman, he's the famed owner and fund manager at Pershing Square Capital Management, who is notorious for his massive short on Herbalife (which got blown out of the water, but he was absolutely right to be short that hell hole of a company).
Ackman started buying shares in Netflix back in late January, and built up a position to the tune of 3.1mm shares...
In a letter to his clients, Ackman praised the company's "best-in-class management team" and on Twitter, the manager said he has long admired Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and the "remarkable company he and his team have built."
But as we know, things change quickly in markets.
Let me preface this by saying I don't think Pershing's Netflix bet was a particularly strong one.
Many streaming services have been introduced increasing competition and diluting the customer pool and with budgets constrained by inflation, demand for luxuries was always going to subside.
That's the economic case, but from a market focused and portfolio basis, there was always going to be turbulence as the Fed turns ever more hawkish - higher rates lead to cash flows in the future being discounted less as the working average cost of capital increases, which is BAD for high growth companies with large price:earnings multiples (see what's happened to Zoom, Roku, and more generally, all the pandemic related memestocks with massive PE ratios which have been nicely deflated over the last 12 months or so).
But that doesn't take away from how Ackman handled his Netflix position.
See, the central thesis was really predicated on positive subscriber growth...
Netflix didn't achieve that this quarter...
So Ackman dumped the position.
That's what everyone should be doing, and it is how I look at risk and management of positions...
If your central thesis changes, then change your position.
Now to go further on why I don't think Netflix is a good buy, and why I disagree with Ackman that management is good, you simply have to take a look at their FX hedging strategy (or lack of).
In 2021, they lost $280mm due to not hedging their FX exposure globally.
For a company that operates in every country in the world, this is quite frankly insanity, and shows the management that they have too much concentration on subscriber growth and not enough on where they might be bleeding revenue, especially revenue that has a relatively easy fix.
But again, this is something to learn from.
Work out the core thesis as to why people will buy the stock - prioritise what matters.
To me, the unhedged aspect is simply alluding to the management not looking at certain parts of the biz, which then asks the question, 'what else don't they have their eye on?'
But if that subscriber growth had gone up, it wouldn't matter.
Prioritise your themes.
The key thing to remember as well, is that although this is a big monetary loss, the position was only about 4% of AUM at Pershing.
Some people lose that and more in a day!
So this is simply another day for good old Bill.
NETFLIX: THANKS BILL ACKAMN FOR THE ADVICEWell guys, Bill has had a net loss of 400 million on his Netflix investment, we could now to be better of him: from his enter point we are at -40%, a great advice.
In the last post i wrote "New opportunity coming..."
I think now is the time to consider Netflix, but don't forget Paypal and Facebook, in a huge downtrend.
So let's not expect a very fast high price return, follow the market and make your choice very carefully.
I think we could see another round of selling, mostly if the Sp500 start a bearish movement.
Do you see previous crash?
Maybe this time is different, or maybe not.
Netflix clear path going forward
In a nutshell for the non- analyst out there : I see a clear move down in Netflix fallowed by a correction and than a final move down.
For the wave analyst:
This is a clear wave A to the downside in 5 waves , now being in the 5th wave.
After the completion of this move down, a correction Wave B will follow and then the final move C down usually equal in length with the first Wave A but much shallower , and not that steep as this wave A.
Disclosure: I am not an investor in Netflix, this is my analysis and does not constitute financial advice.
What's your take on $NFLX ?
Netflix Investment Outlook Volume 2Top called July 27th, 2021, months prior. No surprises/remorse here! The idea is linked below.
Moving forward, Netflix's price action will be choppy and downward facing. ABC correction in progress; B wave recovery expected soon. Bottom of the historical channel - end game. Fundamentally, increased competition will continue the downtrend in subscriptions. Conclusion: Bear!
Was the NFLX sell-off predictable???Of course it was! You could have sold the head and shoulders bearish chart pattern back in November, before Jim Cramer said NFLX is a buy! :)
My forecast is that NFLX will make a small bounce before going even lower, at a buy area of $175 - 190.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE NETFLIX QUOTATION? +67% FALL!What do you think about this? Are we in a favorable scenario to invest in Netflix shares? Do you think this drop will last longer or with the RSI at such a low level, can we get a breather from the market? Maybe even a trend reversal (which has been happening for a long time now, this price drop)
Netflix Analysts forget microeconomics principles... Hysteria??Netflix Q2 2022 Earnings Report: ir.netflix.net

With the Financials briefly covered above, here are some of the key thoughts to keep in mind.
Why are financial "Analysts/reporters" trumpeting on about the around 2 million lost subscribers?
The answer is that they have not read the Financials. Their understanding of the streaming market is limited to subscriber count as the sole Variable to take into account. This is the unfortunate result of an incentive, to hold one reason or aspect as the sole driver of the streaming business.
>> The microeconomic 101 principle should have made it clear that as Netflix prices are raised there will be less demand.
>> What is more important is that the FINANCIAL inflows, more than make up for the lost 2 million subscribers.
The demand is Inelastic and therefore the price rise, was the right decision from a shareholder & business perspective.
>>> I will be DCA into this oversold discount, increasing my Netflix position in my portfolio. With the long term in mind, that Netflix is a main pillar in the continuously growing streaming sector<<<
Not financial advice, just an investor/trader's opinion. Who is looking for the best reward to risk In this turbulent market.
Check out my AMD analysis if you liked this Idea:
You May Be Having a Bad Day, but Not as Bad as Bill AckmanTrading stocks is tough, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Even the best have nightmare days. Today’s example would be billionaire Bill Ackman, CEO, and founder of Pershing Capital, a notorious hedge fund. With an MBA from Harvard Business school and 20 years in the business, he is a real pro. His fund generated approximately 70% returns in 2020 alone. This is remarkable considering this firm currently holds about $20B in assets under management.
At the start of the year, Netflix was down significantly from its highs. Ackman took this opportunity to accumulate shares, approximately 3.1M shares worth over $1B. The stock pulled back for roughly+20% gains. He looked like a genius.
However, yesterday after the bell, Netflix announced its quarter one earnings. It was not pretty. In this report, the company exceeded earnings expectations by 20% BUT it was their first-time instance of subscriber loss which was roughly 200,000. The company expected to add over 2M subscribers in this period. As a result, the company tanked roughly over 30%.
Quick Math
Invested = $1.1B (3.1M @~370)
Current = $685M (3.1M @~222)
Single Day Loss = $387M (3.1M @ 125)
Total Loss = $435M
So if you are having a bad day, you probably are not having as bad of a day as Bill Ackman, who has lost almost half a billion worth of his and his client’s money. This is a friendly reminder that even the pros have massive down days. Additionally, just because a security’s price has decreased significantly it doesn’t mean it can’t keep going down. #TrendIsYourFriend. Learn from other mistakes.
On another note, Howard Hughes Corp. ($HHC) filed a 13D, an SEC form required for ownership beyond 5%, which revealed that Pershing Square Capital owns 25% of the company. Should be interesting how this stock plays out in the near future.
NETF*** - The Beginning Of The End?Netflix is one of the many companies that used the global pandemic to their benefit. With millions being in lockdown, there was only so much board games you could play before you switched on Netflix.. and chilled.
When the pandemic hit in March 2020, Netflix saw a staggering growth of almost 100% in just a few months. In total, it went on to gain 142% from the start of the pandemic. As with all great series, it must come to an end, much like Netflix's uncontrollable growth.
Recently Netflix took a massive hit when their estimated growth in subscribers felt below par. It was projected that they'll get 2.5million new subscribers, which fell below investors expectation of 6.93million subscribers which started the year off pretty badly. Coupled with price hikes and competition from other streaming platforms, Netflix was haemorrhaging subscribers.
Recently, it took even a bigger hit. Investers were expecting Netflix to report another quarter of slowing subscribers growth but the results were even worse. Netflix lost 200k subscribers and it is expected that they'll be losing a lot more - perhaps millions.
Technical Analysis
From a technical standpoint, Netflix has started its downtrend and both fundamentals and technicals don't appear to show any signs of a reversal coming anytime soon.
Would be a good idea to sit on the sidelines for now and see how far Netflix will drop this quarter.
What do you guys think?
Leave your comments below!
BLOOD IN THE STREETSWe can see from the Weekly timeframe, that this crash in $NFLX is heading towards some substantial resistance, in the form of moving averages and previous highs / breakout highs.
You could perhaps (on the indication of reversal, on the 4H chart) take a long (leap) play, in light of the fact, that this drop was so substantial, we cannot have that much further down to go.
Then again.... of course, it could turn out we have much further down to go, and thus we use stop losses, as at best, we can never be sure of anything in the Markets.
So, I'll remain neutral for now, however, I'll be looking for that reversal.
*Side note, not that this is worth anything at all... We've blown through even the most bearish analyst estimates for the stock price*
Forward P/E 24.57.
NETFLIX, scenarios and targets Fundamentally :
After the quarantine ended, people went out of their homes and Netflix became less in demand in the entertainment industry.
But what if people get used to life without Netflix?
Netflix needs serious solutions like new, good and exclusive business to get its users back
Technically :
price can pump from this level (255; 210) to 350 and maybe till 445
the down scenario the next support will be at 130 per share

NFLX Potential for Bearish Reversal | 20th April 2022Price is moving nearer to the pivot level. We can expect a potential for bearish reversal from sell entry level of 351.85 which is in line with 78.6% Fibonacci projection towards the take profit level of 342.44 which is in line with 50% Fibonacci retracement and 61.8% Fibonacci projection. Our bearish bias is further supported by price trading below the Ichimoku cloud indicator

The big crash on Netflix!!!Netflix
During after market hours Netflix lost -25%.
I will be lookig for entry below 200USD.
On the first level around 255USD should be some reaction, but it's still expensive for me.
The level around 189USD is much better and there I will have small entry.
The masive reaction I am expecting on the level around 117USD - it's also -80% from ATH.
