NOW - Can we get some service now please?Let's see, earnings after market close, recent analyst downgrades over last week or so, & CEO just left to take over at NKE . What does the chart say?
You may have a head & shoulders pattern but that right shoulder is a bit ugly. If you do believe it is an H&S pattern, then the price target is $198.30 which would take the price back to fill the gap from January 30th. From a Fibonacci extension perspective, the price is currently around the 100% level while hitting support from the gap up back in January. This could be an ideal area to see a bounce before any continued declines.
New CEO claiming they want to be heavy on acquisitions so take what you will from that.
NOW Head and ShouldersNOW is forming the right shoulder of a head and shoulders pattern. If it can complete the right shoulder, we can expect a break of the neckline to $241 area where it will run into some support and meet up with the 200 moving average. This trade is 2:1 on risk. May take some profits once it hits the neckline.
NOW Retest BounceNOW has retested its old breakout level of $275. If it can hold a green candle but the close we can see a retest of the high at $293 with a potential stretch even higher. Retests give a second opportunity to get into stock after a breakout and give the momentum to go above the old breakout high.
What NOW?NOW has released earnings few days ago with a surprise of around 95%!!! From yahoo finance news release we can read that the company is currently in the business of digitizing corporate operations but this represents just a little fraction of what the automation market will cover. ServiceNow will be the leader in the automation revolution and should achieve huge financial results. I wouldn't be surprise to see the stock keeping an upward trend for long time!
Although it's a bit expensive I would buy some and hold them for a while ;)
