Roku fell sharply in late 2021 and the first half of 2022 as growth stocks collapsed. Now, after a period of consolidation, traders may look for the bearish move to continue.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). Prices tested this long-term trend marker over the last three months without breaking through it. ROKU slid back under the 200-day SMA in late April and has remained there since, a potential sign its long-term downtrend remains in effect.
Second, notice how the 100-day SMA never crossed above the 200-day SMA. That’s also consistent with a longer-term downtrend.
Third, a triangle formed and resolved to the downside. Bollinger Bandwidth widened at the same time, a sign of prices starting to move after compressing. MACD has also turned bearish.
