Revenue Net incomeEPS (GAAP) (0.21–1.23, own scale) Derived Q4

12 quarters to Q2 26. Revenue and net income share one scale, so the gap between them is the margin. The line is GAAP EPS — it spans every quarter shown, where the reported figure only goes back as far as the consensus feed does.

The Pricewhat the chart is doingTop ↑

Price Levels

StrategyAt Support Zone
Reference band 71.95 — 74.13
Protective stop 67.93 (Atr, 7.0% risk)
Support 72.68 (2 touches, 2.1% away)
Resistance 75.69 (2.0% away)

Takeaway The shares are nearer the ceiling than the floor: about 2.0% below 75.69, where sellers have turned up before, and 2.1% above 72.68, where buyers have stepped in before. That floor has held 2 times, which is how it was spotted. If someone bought at today's price and sold if it dropped through the level below, they would be about 7.0% out of pocket. That is all this figure means — an illustration of the risk, not a price to sell at.

Levels are computed from price structure. They describe where the engine locates support and extension — they are not targets, and not advice.

Ichimoku Cloud (Adaptive)

Daily cloudPrice ABOVE the cloud | periods 7/20/41 (79% of classic 9/26/52)
LinesTenkan/Kijun BULL (fresh up cross, 0d ago) | cloud twist BEAR
Cloud eventFresh up breakout 3d ago
Cloud thickness1% percentile (thin — little structure to fight through)
Chikou spanAbove price from 26 periods ago
Weekly cloudPrice BELOW the weekly cloud (context only, not scored)

Takeaway The stock is trading above its cloud — a shaded band drawn from several of its own moving averages, currently 73.36 to 73.50. Being above it means the medium-term picture is pointing upwards, and that band is the first place the stock has recent support if it slips back. Its shorter-term averages agree with that.

Trend context

PositionBelow trend
ExtensionOversold
Trend slopeFalling
Direction of travelConverging back to trend

Takeaway The share price is below the level its own longer-run trend suggests is fair, and that fair level is drifting down. The gap between the two has been closing. Being this far below trend describes how far it has already fallen. It does not mean a bounce is due.

Takeaway Lately this share price has been swinging around inside a range roughly 14% wide. That is normal for this stock, so there is nothing unusual to read into it either way.

Who's Tradingthe flow behind the priceTop ↑

Insider activity

ActivityNo filings in the window
Buy filings0
Sell filings0

Open-market Form 4 purchases and sales over the last 75 days, read from SEC EDGAR Form 4. Grants, option exercises, gifts and shares withheld for tax are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not a decision to buy or sell. Reported Form 4 activity. Brown Bear tested insider cluster-buying as a return signal and rejected it as era-unstable; shown as fact, not signal.

Volume confirmation

Volume-price trend Below its signal line
Confirmation Marginal

No absorption or distribution event in the recent window.

Takeaway The heaviest trading has been happening on days when the price falls: when large numbers of shares change hands, the price has tended to go down rather than up. That tells you where the weight of trading has been. It does not tell you what happens next, and it is not a signal to sell.

Options Positioning

No binary-event flag

NFLX: no binary-event flag. Near IV 30%, far IV 35% (ratio 0.84), implied move 3.7%.

Gamma pin 176.00

Takeaway Insuring against a move in this stock costs less for the next few weeks than for the next few months, which is the normal state of affairs and suggests no particular date is worrying anyone. Options traders are positioned for a move of around 3.8% in either direction by 2026-08-21.
