Netflix - Corrective wave ahead
Technical Analysis: Elliott Wave | NFLX CMP: 705.5 | Dt - 15th Oct'24
Tl;dr - NFLX, which has been in an impulse wave, is close to its Wave 5 termination. It appears an Ending Diagonal is playing out in Wave 5 and it should be followed by an A-B-C decline, dragging the price lower
Simple speak
Analysts seem to think it is a good time to buy Netflix, with majority giving Buy or Strong Buy rating.
AlgoChirp’s EW analysis suggests Netflix downside potential far outweighs the upside potential at these levels.

The sluggish nature of price movement is typical of a Wave 5 advance.
Alternate count - At this pt there is no strong alternate wave count. If RSI breaks the trendline convincingly then we will need to relook at this count.
Analyst Rating vs EW count
Analyst rating suggests bullish outlook for Netflix. EW projection however is for the price to start a corrective leg in the short term.
Analyst rating is “not In sync” with EW count
