Green day on Friday for Netflix stock after gaining 0.611%
(Market data through Aug 07, 2026)
The Netflix stock price gained 0.611% on the last trading day (Friday, 7th Aug 2026), rising from $73.69 to $74.14. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 1.95% from a day low at $73.08 to a day high of $74.50. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 5.78% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 million shares and in total, 25 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.83 billion. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to fall -21.25% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $49.68 and $58.38 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the stock price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
NFLX Signals & Forecast
Mostly positive signals in the chart today. The Netflix stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $73.40 and $72.90. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Monday, July 20, 2026, and so far it has risen 9.67%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely.
Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Netflix stock
Netflix finds support from accumulated volume at $73.81 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.
This stock has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $1.43 between high and low, or 1.95%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 2.44%.
The Netflix stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stocks may go long and hard while being overbought and the RSI is still moving upwards. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely, and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.
Our recommended stop-loss: $71.34 (-3.78%) (This stock has medium daily movements and this gives medium risk. The RSI14 is 78 and this increases the risk substantially. There is a buy signal from a pivot bottom found 14 days ago.)
Trading Expectations (NFLX) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 10th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 10th we expect Netflix to open at $73.91, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $72.97 and $75.31, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.35 (+/-3.22%) up or down from last closing price. If Netflix takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 3.22% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $74.35 (0.28%) than the support at $73.81 (0.45%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
Is Netflix stock A Buy?
Several short-term signals are positive, despite the stock being in a falling trend, we conclude that the current level may hold a buying opportunity as there is a fair chance for stock to perform well in the short-term.
