Upbeat earnings and AI partnerships bolster sentiment despite restructuring
ServiceNow reported a 22.1% year-over-year increase in revenue for the most recent quarter, reaching $3.77 billion, and raised full-year guidance. The company expanded its partnership with IBM to address enterprise AI adoption challenges, and formed a new alliance with Cognizant to integrate AI governance features into its platform. An internal restructuring was also announced to shift the workforce toward 'AI-native' processes.
Bearish momentum persists as all key moving averages cap gains
On the weekly (W1) chart, NOW trades below the MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, keeping the stock under significant technical resistance from all major moving averages. Ichimoku Kijun at $119.21 provides further resistance above, while the nearest dynamic resistance is set by the MA-20 around $102.98. Weekly RSI remains in sell territory, and both the MACD and ADX confirm bearish momentum, though Stochastic RSI and CCI have moved to neutral, suggesting internal divergence in sentiment. Key W1 support is near $94, with resistance at $110.
Sideways bias forecast as resistance limits upside for next week
For the next five trading days, NOW is expected to remain in a sideways range between $94 and $110, based on weekly volatility and persistent bearish weekly indicators. Technical resistance is likely to limit any upward moves, with a low probability (less than 20%) for a meaningful breakout above $110 unless bullish momentum surprisingly returns. The baseline scenario projects consolidation within the corridor, while a decisive break below $94 could trigger further selling pressure toward recent lows.
Earlier, analysts noted that ServiceNow was exhibiting sustained bearish pressure, with technical momentum skewed to the downside despite some internal indicator divergence. The current outlook reinforces this with ongoing consolidation below major moving averages, making a break above $110 the key event to watch for any sustained reversal in sentiment.
