The popular streaming service recently made gains after winning a handful of Golden Globes. Chartist Alistair Strang uses his software to analyse where this FAANG could be heading.

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX)

Almost grudgingly, we access this lot just for two series; The witty "Good Place" and the new "Star Trek" TV show, two different types of hell for most folk. 

We must concede Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) share price appears to be improving, along with its content and as the US earnings season approaches, it's worthy of a glance.

The immediate picture is fairly tame with movement above $322 entering a logical cycle to an initial $351. As the chart illustrates, this donks against the downtrend since July last year. Our secondary, should the price manage to actually close above blue (just $352 at present), comes in at $425 though we must admit, with positive news, the share could easily accelerate to $535 and a new all-time high.

If trouble is planned, the price must break 'red' on the chart ($231 at present). Such a calamity, while visually unlikely, risks reversal sharply down to an initial $193. Worse, if broken, bottom calculates at a very messy $139, a point where it almost must bounce. 

Of course, there's always a risk we're influenced by Netflix's decision to produce another show, Lucifer, which was in danger of vanishing. As can be safely guessed by a list of telly favourites, entertainment isn't taken too seriously amongst the folk at T&T.
