Momentum: MACD (12, 26, 9)

Bullish, medium confidence Week of September 25, 2026

BULLISH, MACD above signal line, medium confidence.

The weekly MACD for NFLX is currently at -4.44, positioned above its signal line of -4.70. This indicates a bullish posture. A bullish signal-line crossover occurred on 2026-08-17, which was 6 weeks ago.

The histogram is positive at 0.26. However, the 4-bar change of -0.77 indicates that positive momentum is decelerating.

The MACD is currently below the zero line, suggesting a longer-term bearish context. The last zero-line cross was bearish, occurring on 2025-11-17, 45 weeks ago. This is a distinct signal from the more recent signal-line crossover.

No bearish divergence was found between the 2026-06-29 close of 77.65 and the 2026-08-24 close of 81.72. Similarly, no bullish divergence was found between the 2026-03-16 close of 91.82 and the 2026-07-13 close of 68.95.

What would change this read

A shift to a bearish outlook would occur if the MACD falls below its signal line of -4.6961. A more significant bullish confirmation would be the MACD crossing above the zero line (i.e., rising above 0.00). A turn to negative momentum would be indicated by the histogram falling below 0.00.

Volatility: ATR (14)

Volatility contracting, high confidence Week of September 25, 2026

CONTRACTING - ATR is lower than 8 weeks ago - HIGH

The current weekly Average True Range (ATR(14)) for NFLX is 5.35. This value represents 7.52% of its latest weekly close of 71.14, indicating the typical weekly price fluctuation for the stock.

Compared to eight weeks ago, when the ATR was 5.98, volatility for NFLX is contracting.

The 1x ATR band from the latest close suggests that a normal weekly price range for NFLX would be between 65.80 and 76.49. The 2x ATR band further extends this expected weekly range to between 60.45 and 81.84. These bands describe the expected weekly range of price movement, not a prediction of future price direction.

What would change this read

  • – A weekly ATR(14) value rising above 5.98 would signal expanding volatility.
  • – A weekly close outside the 2x ATR band, either below 60.45 or above 81.84, would indicate an unusually large weekly price movement beyond typical expectations.
