Stock split and rising revenue as Netflix expands content and audience

Netflix has announced a 10-for-1 stock split, its first in more than a decade, scheduled to take effect after the market closes. Following its latest third-quarter earnings, the company reported 17% year-over-year revenue growth and a 34% EBIT margin excluding Brazil. The platform is also preparing its upcoming content lineup and continues to grow its audience.

Negative momentum and mixed signals as volatility persists

Momentum signals on the daily chart remain negative, with MACD confirming a strong sell and the ADX at a neutral stance, indicating a lack of bullish momentum. Oscillators are mixed: RSI and CCI show neutral readings, while Stoch RSI and BBP indicate overbought conditions, underscoring a divergence between momentum and mean-reversion signals. The daily drop of 2.81% placed the price near the lower end of today's range, reflecting high volatility and continued downside pressure since the open.

Sideways bias likely as bullish weekly signals face resistance

Over the next five trading days, NFLX is likely to fluctuate between $1,100 and $1,170. With three major weekly indicators — RSI, ADX, and MA-50 — all showing bullish signals but only two qualifying as Strong Buy, there is about a 75% probability of a price increase. The most likely scenario is a sideways movement between support at $1,100 and resistance at $1,160. A move above $1,160 may open the way to $1,170, while a decline below $1,100 could trigger further losses, though this appears less probable at present.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Netflix’s strong fundamentals and robust revenue growth helping to offset technical pressure from recent declines. The upcoming 10-for-1 stock split and continued audience expansion further strengthen sentiment. He believes the medium-term outlook remains positive as long as price holds above $1,100. "While volatility persists, I expect Netflix to consolidate soon and see upward momentum building toward $1,170 if market sentiment stays favorable."
