Technical analysis signals strong bearish momentum, with the stock trading below key averages and a projected range of $94.44 to $107.87 over the next week.

Buybacks and AI partnerships fail to offset broad market selling

ServiceNow reported stronger-than-expected quarterly revenue, with free cash flow rising 34% to $4.6 billion and remaining performance obligations increasing 25% to $12.85 billion. The company expanded its share buyback program by $5 billion and CEO Bill McDermott purchased around $3 million in company shares. Recent product innovations in the Now Assist AI line, new enterprise deployments, and partnerships with companies such as NVIDIA, Cohesity, and Anthropic were also disclosed, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that ServiceNow is showing clear technical weakness. The price is well below all major moving averages, with no key levels acting as support. Despite fundamental positives such as strong free cash flow and share buybacks, market sentiment remains bearish. Oversold technical indicators warn of market exhaustion, but sellers continue to dominate. "Until price action stabilizes above resistance, I see no compelling reason to expect a sustainable rebound in ServiceNow."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees ServiceNow’s business momentum as a sign of resilience. He highlights robust revenue growth, significant free cash flow, and increases in performance obligations. Strategic share repurchases and insider buying also point to management’s long-term conviction. Recent product partnerships reinforce forward-looking potential, despite temporary selling pressure. "With the company’s fundamentals intact and innovation pipeline strong, I believe further growth is likely once macro sentiment improves."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, takes a scenario-driven approach to ServiceNow. Technicals flag a persistent downtrend, but cluster of oversold signals may trigger tactical reversals. He cautions that downside risk remains elevated given global risk-off conditions. "If the price breaks above $107.87, contrarian longs could play for a short-term squeeze — but discipline is key for now."

All-timeframe sell signals as price breaches major support zones

ServiceNow has fallen well below all key short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, with the stock currently at $102.50 versus the 20-day ($113.40), 50-day ($115.56), and 200-day ($164.04) simple moving averages. This configuration signals pronounced downward pressure across all timeframes, with the nearest dynamic resistance now at the Ichimoku Kijun level near $112.93.

Momentum indicators show clear bearish sentiment: the MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) both point to a prevailing downtrend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), Stochastic RSI, and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) all register in oversold territory, indicating market exhaustion on the downside. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) confirms that sellers dominate intraday momentum, with the indicator also forecasting oversold conditions. ServiceNow slipped 2.05% today to $102.50, after opening with an upside gap of roughly $1.48. The price is trading in the lower part of its daily range, with intraday volatility at 5.30%. The stock remains under pressure following the open, and momentum signals reinforce the negative tone.

Earlier, analysts noted that ServiceNow was experiencing persistent selling pressure and technical weakness despite favorable business fundamentals and institutional engagement. The current outlook not only confirms that this bearish momentum remains intact, but also raises downside risks, making a decisive move below $94.44 the key risk for traders to monitor in the near term.
