Zscaler shares ( NASDAQ:ZS ) were up more than 7% to $167.97 as of 11:03 a.m. ET Friday, but are still down about 24% for the year.
Cybersecurity has become more crucial in recent years amid rising online threats and a rapid rise in artificial intelligence that enable hackers to execute advanced cyberattacks.

Zscaler - solid financials overlooked by investors create BUY opZscaler (ZS) released solid financial results, above consensus expectations with positive surprise. In addition, ZS provided upbeat guidance for the Full year 2024 and for the next quarter, highlighting continuing growth (above market expectations)
Although on a technical chart the stock looks like a SELL, I see very limited downside potential for the stock given its updated fundamentals. In my view the stock currently presents interesting BUY reversal opportunity and ZS may outperform the market in the coming weeks.
The upside potential 56%+
5/30/24 - $zs - want to own more, but this tape says careful V5/30/24 - vrockstar - NASDAQ:ZS - genuinely pains me to not be super bull into this q - i have a peanut position b/c it's a core compounder for me, but it's small. i've seen all the B2B/ cyber pitches this quarter and NASDAQ:ZS and NYSE:S are today... and if we're playing the odds fam, it's almost hard to see how this sticks and runs at >10x sales, LSD fcf % generation (and a lot of stock comp). the cap isn't small either ( NYSE:S is smaller).
love the founder. best in biz. love the product. probably a top 3 cyber ( NASDAQ:PANW , NASDAQ:CYBR , NASDAQ:CRWD , NYSE:NET , NYSE:S - probably in that order)... but let's be clear, these valuations are simply NOT sticking in this rates paradigm. they should given what rates actually represent (GTFO USD...) but that's the alpha and the patience that come into the equation.
SO in a nutshell. i'm setup to be happy if they beat - will have a small position to decide how to manage - a beat and stock down - great - will figure out how to size up either in print or in coming q (depending on what the reaction is). if it's a miss - let's readdress in the comments. will be listening to the call.
stay solvent. stay safe. have fun. leave any comments below if you'd like contribute to this POV

oh. here's the trends on searches that tbh look stellar, but it's not consumer, it's B2B - so take it for what it's worth, perhaps these are more of a leading indicator than not/ and also let's see how mgmt communicates 2H etc.

Zscaler (ZS): Potential Pitfalls & Buying Risks ExplainedAt Zscaler, we believe that the subordinate Wave 3 has definitely concluded at 259.61$. Currently, we are in search of Wave 4, which is turning out to be unusually long and has already dropped below the critical level that we had considered as the last reversal point. This significantly diminishes the likelihood of a successful entry, prompting us to refrain from new engagements for now.
Moreover, the RSI indicates that the stock is oversold, which might suggest a buying opportunity. However, given the overall market dynamics and Zscaler's specific situation, we remain cautious. Should the price fall below the 163$ level, it would potentially invalidate our current scenario and suggest that our analysis might be incorrect, boding poorly for Zscaler's outlook.
Considering the current market uncertainties and specific risks associated with Zscaler, we have decided not to place any new entries at this time.
Zscaler (ZS): Breaking Through the CloudZscaler (ZS): NASDAQ:ZS
At the American cloud company Zscaler, we have completed the first 5-wave cycle at the level of $376.11, have since developed Wave II at $84.93, and are now in the overarching Wave III, which should naturally extend far beyond our Alltime High, thus above the current Wave I to also be valid. Currently, we are in the first 5-wave impulse upwards to complete the Wave (1).
We have ended the subordinate Wave 3 here precisely or almost exactly at the level of 161.8%, have since formed a stronger downward trend, and are now in the conclusion of Wave 4, and as can be seen on the smaller timeframe, our entry point is already indicated for Wave 4. This should reach between 38.2% and 61.8%. If we should fall below that, we should also reconsider this bullish scenario, but we would set a market entry here as we have already fallen into the buying zone and expect a rise above Wave 3, so above the level of $259.6.
ZS short term upward reversal. ZS is trying to reverse downtrend. Bearish upthrust has been weakening over the last two weeks and price has already set daily higher low on the pre-market. For reversal to happen bulls must protect 192.5 and build value above 196.
If the reversal happens it will probably not to last long as we're in a monthly consolidation. But it still can provide some nice profit
Example of a possible trade is shown on the graph.

ZS got too short, LONG opportunityNASDAQ:ZS has been very "bearish" for almost month but we're still in a monthly uptrend. At the same time there are bearish exhaustion signs: weekly bearish upthrust has diminished, and value area has been overlapping for the last three days. This creates opportunity to capture possible short-squeeze.

Zscaler: Arriving 🛬 🌴Zscaler has now reached the magenta Target Zone between $195.68 and $159.11. We expect a deeper dive before the low of the magenta wave (ii) is established here. Subsequently, we expect a rise above the resistance at $259.62.
ZSCALER: Potential BuyPrice currently consolidating in a range but the heavy bullishness in this rising channel makes me believe that breaking above is more likely. Possible entry zones marked. Target at $270.
$ZS Buy the Dip at Megaphone SupportIt's been dropping like a rock recently, but looks like it may be a good buy here at the green uptrend channel support from the April bottom. Also at megaphone support (purple). I would expect it to bounce soon and fill out the megaphone some more before breaking it out down the line.
Target 1: 250 (orange downtrend channel)
Target 2: 283 (purple megaphone resistance)
Target 3: 356 (horizontal resistance near ATH)

Zscaler: Knock, Knock… ✊The Zscaler share is currently trying to establish itself above the $227.29 mark. According to our primary expectation, it should succeed in doing so and should travel a good bit further before it discards the high of the turquoise wave 3.

In this case, the price would already be working on the turquoise wave alt. 4.
