AI expansion and buyback strategy drive robust financial momentum
ServiceNow reported strong financial results, surpassing $10 billion in annual revenue with a 20% year-over-year increase in Q4 sales and a 98% retention rate. The company authorized a $5 billion share buyback following a prior $2 billion accelerated repurchase, while maintaining a robust Q4 free cash flow margin of 57%.

Deep oversold levels challenged by volatility amid strong downtrend
NOW is trading well below all major moving averages, with the nearest resistance marked by the daily Ichimoku Kijun at $125.95 and no immediate support below. Momentum remains negative as the daily MACD is at -14.95, and the strong ADX (40.24) highlights a prevailing downtrend. Deeply oversold conditions are signaled by the RSI (24.91), Commodity Channel Index (-132.99), and Bull/Bear Power (-11.43), although a strong buy flag from the Stochastic RSI points to possible short-term mean reversion. The Awesome Oscillator supports the bearish outlook, but today's gap up and trading near highs underscore intraday volatility and buyers' short-term interest.
Downside favored as volatility bands restrict near-term upside
For the next five trading days, NOW is likely to oscillate in a typical volatility band between $102 and $112. The probability of a short-term price increase remains under 20%, favoring further downside risk. If resistance at $112 is breached, a push to $115 is possible, while a close below $102 could accelerate losses toward $99 given ongoing bearish signals across multiple timeframes.
Previously it was reported that ServiceNow, Inc. remains under persistent selling pressure, trading below all major weekly moving averages, with oversold technical indicators such as RSI and MACD reinforcing the prevailing downtrend. Despite recent gains, the asset is expected to consolidate between support at $98.00 and resistance at $108.00, as broader momentum signals limit the probability of a near-term breakout.
